Overview of Gene Research
Fam117b, with no common aliases specified in the references, seems to be involved in multiple biological processes. It has been associated with the KEAP1/NRF2 signaling pathway [1]. In the context of gastric cancer, it plays a role in promoting cancer cell growth and reducing sensitivity to chemotherapeutic drugs [1]. Its function might also be related to the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel diseases and lacunar stroke, potentially through influencing genes in related pathways [2,3].
In gastric cancer, Fam117b promotes growth and drug resistance. Mechanistically, it competes with NRF2 for KEAP1 binding, reducing NRF2 ubiquitination degradation and activating the KEAP1/NRF2 signaling pathway. The growth and chemoresistance of gastric cancer cells induced by Fam117b are NRF2-dependent. Also, high expression of Fam117b and NRF2 in gastric cancer patient tumor tissues is an independent factor for poor prognosis [1]. Additionally, in studies related to lacunar stroke and cerebral small vessel disease, the expression of Fam117b was found to be associated with these conditions, suggesting its potential role in their pathogenesis [2,3].
In conclusion, Fam117b is involved in promoting gastric cancer growth and drug resistance through the KEAP1/NRF2 signaling pathway [1]. Its associations with lacunar stroke and cerebral small vessel disease also indicate its importance in cerebrovascular-related biological processes. Understanding Fam117b's functions provides insights into the mechanisms of these diseases, potentially leading to new therapeutic targets for gastric cancer and cerebrovascular diseases.
