Overview of Gene Research
Sucnr1, also known as GPR91, belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). It has been paired with succinate, a citric acid cycle intermediate, and is involved in indicating local stress that may impact cellular metabolism. Succinate triggers Sucnr1-related signaling pathways, which are potentially linked to multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes [1].

Adipocyte-specific deletion of Sucnr1 influences leptin response to feeding, highlighting its role in controlling energy metabolism by modulating the circadian clock and leptin expression [2]. Myeloid-specific deficiency in Sucnr1 promotes a local pro-inflammatory phenotype, disrupts glucose homeostasis, exacerbates diet-induced obesity, and impairs adipose-tissue browning [3]. In hepatocytes, Sucnr1 deficiency leads to both beneficial (reduced fibrosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress) and detrimental (exacerbated steatosis, inflammation, and reduced glycogen content) effects in the liver, and disrupts glucose homeostasis [4]. Mice with β cell-specific Sucnr1 deficiency exhibit impaired glucose tolerance and insulin secretion on a high-fat diet [5]. Succinate-induced renal injury is mediated by Sucnr1 activation, causing tubular epithelial cell apoptosis [6]. SUCNR1-deficient mice fail to improve the intestinal barrier function and metabolic phenotype in high-fat diet-fed mice [7].

In summary, Sucnr1 plays essential roles in energy metabolism, immune response, inflammation regulation, and metabolism-related disease processes. The use of gene knockout (KO) and conditional knockout (CKO) mouse models has been crucial in revealing its functions in adipocytes, macrophages, hepatocytes, pancreatic β cells, renal tubular cells, and intestinal epithelial cells, providing insights into its potential as a therapeutic target for diseases such as obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and kidney damage.
