Overview of Gene Research
Dgkg, encoding diacylglycerol kinase gamma, is a key enzyme in glycerophospholipid metabolism and phosphatidylinositol signaling pathways [7]. Diacylglycerol kinases are important regulators of cell signaling, and Dgkg may be involved in various biological processes [4].
In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), endothelial Dgkg promoted tumor angiogenesis and immunosuppressive regulatory T-cell differentiation. Hypoxia-induced HIF-1α activates Dgkg transcription, and upregulated Dgkg promotes HCC progression via the ZEB2/TGF-β1 axis. Targeting endothelial Dgkg enhanced the efficiency of dual blockade of PD-1 and VEGFR-2 in a mouse HCC model [1].
In Wagyu cattle, a homozygous missense variant in Dgkg was associated with hepatic fibrinogen storage disease [2].
In an epileptic patient, a heterozygous mutation in Dgkg was found, and an induced pluripotent stem cell line was generated for studying epilepsy mechanisms [3].
In colorectal cancer, Dgkg was hypermethylated, suppressing its expression. Ectopic expression of wild-type and mutant Dgkg suppressed cell migration, invasion, and Rac1 activity, suggesting a tumor-suppressor role [4].
In acute myeloid leukemia, high Dgkg expression was associated with a more favorable prognosis according to the TGCA database [5].
In cortical GABAergic interneurons, Dgkg was dominantly expressed in somatostatin-expressing neurons, and its functional study indicated an alteration in neurite outgrowth [6].
In glioblastoma, a hypoxia-induced alternative splicing transcript Dgkg-Δ exon13 promoted cellular proliferation, migration, and invasion [8].
In conclusion, Dgkg plays diverse roles in multiple biological processes and diseases. Its functions in tumor angiogenesis, immune evasion, and cell migration/invasion in cancers, as well as in neurological and metabolic-related diseases, have been revealed through various research models, including in vivo studies in mouse models. Understanding Dgkg provides insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
