Overview of Gene Research
Naaa, also known as N-Acylethanolamine acid amidase, is an N-terminal cysteine hydrolase mainly located in the endosomal-lysosomal compartment of immune cells [1]. It catalyzes the hydrolytic deactivation of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a lipid-derived peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonist with anti-inflammatory effects. NAAA-regulated PEA signaling at PPAR-α is crucial for the induction and resolution of inflammation [1].

In mouse models, deletion of the Naaa gene or pharmacological inhibition of NAAA activity significantly attenuated dopamine neuron death and parkinsonian symptoms induced by mitochondrial neurotoxins [3]. Mice lacking NAAA in CD11b+ cells (monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils) were resistant to the induction of hyperalgesic priming, while overexpression of NAAA or lack of PPAR-α in these cells led to constitutive priming [2]. In a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model, inactivation of NAAA increased PEA levels at the injured site, preventing early BBB damage and improving secondary injury [4]. In a psoriasis mouse model, genetic ablation of NAAA or local administration of its inhibitor F96 ameliorated psoriasis, while transgenic expression of NAAA accelerated its development [5].

In conclusion, Naaa plays a vital role in inflammation, pain, and neurodegeneration through regulating PEA-PPAR-α signaling. Findings from Naaa knockout or conditional knockout mouse models have revealed its significance in diseases such as Parkinson's disease, chronic pain, TBI, and psoriasis, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target for these conditions.
