Overview of Gene Research
Ro60, also known as SSA2, is an RNA-binding protein and a core component of nucleocytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes. It is essential in RNA metabolism, cell stress response pathways, and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Ro60 stabilizes and mediates quality control and cellular distribution of small RNAs like YRNAs, retroelement transcripts, and misfolded RNAs [1].
Knockdown of Ro60/SSA by siRNA transfection significantly decreased cell proliferation and invasion in vitro, and inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors in vivo, indicating its role in promoting the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [2]. In addition, Ro60 deletion in human cell lines led to enhanced expression of Alu RNAs and interferon-regulated genes, establishing a link among Ro60, Alu retroelements, and type I interferon [3].
In conclusion, Ro60 is crucial for RNA-related functions and cellular homeostasis. Model-based research, such as the siRNA-mediated knockdown in pancreatic cancer and gene deletion in cell lines, reveals its significance in cancer progression and autoimmune-related inflammation. Understanding Ro60's function provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of autoimmune diseases and cancer, potentially offering new therapeutic targets.
