Overview of Gene Research
Fzd9, a member of the frizzled gene family, codes for a putative Wnt receptor. It has a cysteine-rich extracellular domain and seven transmembrane domains. Fzd9 is involved in multiple biological processes such as embryonic development, tissue architecture regulation, and organogenesis through Wnt signaling pathways [3]. Genetic models, especially mouse models, have been crucial for studying its functions.

In a Myc-driven insulinoma mouse model, the lack of Fzd9 impairs sustained tumor expansion and β-cell dedifferentiation, maintaining pancreatic islets' physiological structure and affecting Myc-related global gene expression, indicating its essential role in Myc-induced tumorigenesis in pancreatic islets [1]. In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), in silico analysis showed Fzd9 was among the top differentially expressed genes, with high levels associated with worse survival, suggesting it may be a potential prognostic biomarker [2]. In lung cells, knockdown of Fzd9 in human bronchial epithelial cell lines altered downstream EMT targets and PPARγ activity, and Fzd9-/-mice in a lung adenocarcinoma model had more tumor-related phenotypes, indicating its role in lung epithelial maintenance and smoking-related malignant transformation [4].

In conclusion, Fzd9 plays essential roles in multiple biological processes and disease conditions. Mouse models, especially gene-knockout models, have been instrumental in revealing its function in tumorigenesis, such as in pancreatic islets and the lung, as well as its potential as a biomarker in TNBC. These studies contribute to understanding disease mechanisms and developing potential therapeutic strategies.
