Overview of Gene Research
Stk24, also known as MST3, belongs to the germinal center kinase III subfamily. It is involved in multiple biological functions, including the regulation of various signaling pathways like MEKK3, AKT-PD-L1, and STAT3/VEGFA, and plays a role in maintaining vessel stability, cell proliferation, migration, and immune modulation [1,2,4,5]. Genetic models such as knockout (KO) and conditional knockout (CKO) mouse models are valuable for studying Stk24.
In KO/CKO mouse models, deletion of Stk24/25 in endothelial cells led to defects in vascular patterning, CCM lesion formation, and impaired angiogenesis [1]. Stk24-deficient mice developed severe high-fat diet-induced metabolic disorders and insulin insensitivity due to NLRP3 inflammasome activation in adipose tissue macrophages [3]. In addition, in tumor models, deficiency of Stk24 in tumor cells attenuated tumor growth, relying on cytotoxic CD8+ T and NK cells [4].
In conclusion, Stk24 is crucial for maintaining normal physiological functions. Its dysregulation is associated with diseases such as cerebral cavernous malformation, obesity-associated metabolic disorders, and cancer. The study of Stk24 using KO/CKO mouse models has provided insights into its role in these disease conditions, facilitating a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms and potentially leading to new therapeutic strategies.
