Overview of Gene Research
S100A9, a member of the S100 family, is a Ca2+ binding protein. It is mainly expressed in neutrophils and monocytes and plays crucial roles in modulating inflammatory responses and inflammation-associated diseases. S100A9 often forms a heterodimer with S100A8, and they are involved in multiple signaling pathways, such as the toll-like receptor 4/MyD88/NF-κB, IL-17-NFκB-caspase-3, and TLR4-NFkB-signaling pathways [1,4,5,6].
In myocardial infarction, short-term blockade of S100A9 inhibits inflammation and improves cardiac function, while long-term blockade has negative impacts on cardiac recovery, showing its dual role in inflammatory and reparatory immune responses [2]. In hepatocellular carcinoma, TACE-induced hypoxia upregulates S100A9 via HIF1A-mediated pathway, promoting tumor growth and metastasis through mitochondrial fission and ROS production [3]. In rosacea, S100A9 exacerbates inflammation by activating toll-like receptor 4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathways [4]. In obesity, overexpression of S100A9 impairs macrophage differentiation via TLR4-NFkB-signaling, worsening inflammation and wound healing [6]. In sepsis-induced acute lung injury, S100A9 exacerbates lung damage and epithelial cell apoptosis via the IL-17-NFκB-caspase-3 signaling pathway [5]. In acute pancreatitis, deletion of S100A9 in pancreatic ducts alleviates the disease by inhibiting NLRP3 activation through targeting VNN1-mediated ROS release [7].
In conclusion, S100A9 is a key player in inflammation and various disease conditions. Gene knockout mouse models have been instrumental in revealing its functions in different biological processes and disease areas, including myocardial infarction, cancer, skin diseases, obesity-related disorders, and sepsis-associated organ injuries. These studies provide potential therapeutic targets for treating these diseases by targeting S100A9 or its associated signaling pathways.
