Detailed Document
Overview of Gene Research
Tnfsf14, also known as LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like inducible protein that competes with glycoprotein D for herpesvirus entry on T cells), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. It plays a crucial role in immunological regulation, and is involved in pathways related to fibrosis, immune cell trafficking, and tissue homeostasis. It has significant biological importance in various physiological and pathological processes, and genetic models such as gene knockout mice have been valuable for studying its functions [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].
In gene knockout studies, Tnfsf14 -/- mice showed protection from ovariectomy-dependent bone loss, suggesting its role in mediating bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency [7]. Tnfsf14 deficiency in mice also accelerated browning in subcutaneous white adipose tissue during acute cold stress, indicating its function as an attenuator of beige fat biogenesis [6]. Additionally, in a study on adipose tissue phenotype, Tnfsf14 -/- and Rag -/-/Tnfsf14-(DKO) mice had lower visceral white adipose tissue weight, and DKO mice showed potential browning effects in inguinal white adipose tissue [5].
In conclusion, Tnfsf14 has diverse functions in biological processes such as bone metabolism, adipose tissue homeostasis, and immune regulation. Findings from Tnfsf14 KO mouse models have provided insights into its role in diseases like osteoporosis, obesity-related metabolic disorders, and potentially in cardiac fibrosis and atrial fibrillation, highlighting its significance as a potential therapeutic target in these disease areas [2,5,6,7].
