Overview of Gene Research
Zdhhc1, also known as ZNF377, belongs to the palmitoyl-transferase ZDHHC family. Protein S-palmitoylation, a process Zdhhc1 is involved in, plays a critical role in many cellular processes such as protein-lipid interaction. It is associated with multiple biological pathways including those related to metabolism, cell death, and stem cell maintenance [1,2,3]. Genetic models, like knockout (KO) mouse models, are valuable for studying Zdhhc1's function.
In cancer research, restoration of Zdhhc1 expression curbs cancer cell progression. In colorectal cancer, its down-regulation is associated with unfavorable prognosis, and it inhibits cell proliferation and invasion in vitro and in vivo by downregulating LIPG via IGF2BP1 palmitoylation [2]. In localized prostate cancer, Zdhhc1 is identified as a pyroptosis inducer, and its promoting effect on pyroptosis was verified [5]. In atherosclerosis, Zdhhc1 deficiency in mice reduces foam cell formation and atherosclerotic plaque development by inhibiting the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway [4]. In mammary gland development, Zdhhc1-mediated Gpm6a palmitoylation is essential for maintaining mammary stem cell activity [3]. Also, in THP-1 cells and mice, Zdhhc1 knockout inhibits foam cell formation [4].
In conclusion, Zdhhc1 is crucial for various biological functions including cell metabolism, cancer cell regulation, stem cell maintenance, and the development of atherosclerosis. The study of Zdhhc1 using KO/CKO mouse models has provided significant insights into its role in cancer, atherosclerosis, and mammary gland development, offering potential targets for therapeutic intervention in related diseases.
