Overview of Gene Research
Nova1, also known as Neuro-oncological ventral antigen 1, is a neuron-specific RNA-binding protein. It functions as a brain-specific splicing factor, regulating neuronal alternative splicing and playing a crucial role in neural development and function [4]. It is associated with pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin signaling in cancer-related processes [2]. Genetic models, like KO/CKO mouse models, are valuable for studying its functions.
In a conditional Nova1-null mouse (Nova1-cKOGad2-cre), loss of Nova1 in Gad2-positive neurons altered downstream expression of Impact mRNA and other related RNAs, revealing its role in hypothalamic function, translation, and metabolism [3]. In human glioblastoma cells, knockdown of NOVA1 disrupted cancer cell fitness, showing its oncogenic role in regulating cholesterol homeostasis [1]. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), siRNA-mediated down-regulation of NOVA1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, indicating its role in promoting NSCLC progression via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway [2].
In conclusion, Nova1 is essential for neural development, hypothalamic function, and translation. Model-based research, especially KO/CKO mouse models, has revealed its significant roles in diseases such as glioblastoma and NSCLC. Understanding Nova1's functions provides insights into the mechanisms of these diseases and potential therapeutic targets.
