Overview of Gene Research
Snx3, a sorting nexin gene, is a retromer-associated cargo binding protein with crucial functions in various cellular processes. It is involved in pathways such as Wnt/β -catenin signaling, endosomal sorting, and ferroptosis regulation, and is important for maintaining normal physiological functions in organisms [3,4,5,6,7,8]. Genetic models, especially knockout (KO) and conditional knockout (CKO) mouse models, have been instrumental in studying its functions.

In cardiomyocytes, Snx3-cKO mice have shown that Snx3 exacerbates doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. Deletion of Snx3 in these mice normalized heart contractile/relaxation function, reduced cardiac injury biomarkers, mitigated the inflammatory response and oxidative stress, and alleviated doxorubicin-induced cell death, ER stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mechanistically, Snx3 promotes ferroptosis through the regulation of GPX4-mediated and TFRC-dependent ferroptosis [2,3]. In colorectal cancer, honokiol enhances the sensitivity of cetuximab in KRASG13D mutant CRC by destroying the SNX3-retromer complex, suppressing SNX3-retromer mediated trafficking, and inhibiting autophagy and macropinocytosis fluxes [1].

In summary, Snx3 is essential for multiple biological processes, including maintaining normal heart function and influencing cancer cell responses. The study of Snx3 KO/CKO mouse models has significantly contributed to understanding its role in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy and in enhancing the sensitivity of anti-cancer drugs in specific colorectal cancer mutants, providing potential therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
