Overview of Gene Research
LIPH, a member of the triglyceride lipase family, is a membrane-associated phosphatidic acid-selective phospholipase A1a. It can generate LPA from PA on the plasma membrane outer leaflet. The LIPH-LPA-LPAR6 signaling pathway is important, and LIPH dysfunction is linked to lipid metabolism disorders [1,8].

In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), LIPH is upregulated. Its down-regulation inhibits PDAC cell colony formation and proliferation. LIPH promotes tumor glycolysis by activating the LPA/LPAR axis, triggering the PI3K/AKT/HIF1A signaling pathway, and maintaining ALDOA stability in the cytosol. PDAC with high LIPH expression is sensitive to gemcitabine-based therapy [1].

In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), LIPH up-regulation promotes metastasis and stemness of TNBC cells. LIPH knockdown reduces the ratio and mammosphere-forming ability of CD44 + /CD24-stem-like cells, promotes apoptosis, arrests the cell cycle, and reduces metabolism [2].

In breast cancer, both mRNA and protein expression of LIPH are upregulated, and high LIPH expression is related to a lower overall survival rate [3].

In pancreatic cancer, LIPH overexpression is associated with tumor recurrence, advanced histologic grade, and poorer overall survival, and is correlated with immune suppression or evasion [5].

In esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a novel lncRNA LIPH-4 promotes ESCC progression through the miR-216b/IGF2BP2 axis [6].

Mutations in LIPH are responsible for autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis in humans and the rex short-hair phenotype in rabbits [4,7,8].

In conclusion, LIPH is involved in multiple biological processes and disease conditions. Functional studies, especially those related to loss-of-function in relevant models (implied by the cell-based and patient-derived studies), have revealed its role in cancer progression, metastasis, metabolism, and hair-related disorders. Understanding LIPH can provide insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for cancers like PDAC, TNBC, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, ESCC, as well as hair-related genetic diseases.
