Overview of Gene Research
Clec3b, encoding tetranectin, is a C-type lectin domain family 3 member B and a Ca2+ binding transmembrane protein. It has diverse functions and is involved in multiple biological processes. It may participate in pathways like Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/Akt, and is associated with cell adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis, and immune-related processes [1,3,4,5].
In hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and lung adenocarcinoma, decreased Clec3b expression is related to poor survival, and it may affect tumor-immune cell infiltration, cellular proliferation, and metastasis. For example, in cholangiocarcinoma, overexpression of Clec3b inhibits proliferation and migration through the Wnt/β-catenin pathway [1,3,4,6]. In a mouse model of macular-retinal dystrophy, subretinal injection of the Clec3B variant led to pathological changes, indicating its role in this eye disease [2]. In H9c2 cardiomyocytes, overexpression of Clec3B protects against hypoxia-induced apoptosis via the PI3K/Akt pathway [5].
In conclusion, Clec3b plays crucial roles in multiple disease conditions, especially in cancer and macular-retinal dystrophy. Mouse models, such as those used in macular-retinal dystrophy and in vitro cell-based models mimicking disease conditions, have been valuable in revealing its functions in promoting or inhibiting disease-related cellular processes, providing potential insights for disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.
