Overview of Gene Research
CCDC178, or coiled-coil domain-containing protein 178, is involved in multiple biological processes and disease-related pathways. Its functions seem to be related to cytoskeleton assembly, anoikis modulation, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway activation [1,2]. These functions imply its importance in normal development and disease progression, making genetic models useful for studying its detailed mechanisms.
In mice, CCDC178-mediated cytoskeleton assembly is required for spermiogenesis, indicating its essential role in male reproductive development [1]. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), CCDC178 is upregulated, and its deficiency reduces the anchorage-independent growth and anoikis resistance of HCC cells, inhibiting metastasis in vivo. Mechanistically, it associates with BRAP2, a negative regulator of the ERK pathway, and promotes its degradation [2]. In gastric cancer, high CCDC178 expression predicts a poor prognosis, and it is correlated with macrophage infiltration. CCDC178 activates the ERK pathway, and its silencing reduces the malignant phenotype of GC cells and the M2-like polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) [3].
In conclusion, CCDC178 is crucial for spermiogenesis in mice. In cancer, especially HCC and gastric cancer, it plays a role in promoting metastasis and is associated with poor prognosis. Studies using gene-knockout models in mice have been valuable in revealing these functions, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets for related diseases.
