RSPRY1: A Potential Drug Target and Biomarker for Genetic Disorders

Introduction

Ring finger and SPRY domain-containing protein 1 (RSPRY1) is a gene that encodes a protein essential for the development and maintenance of normal RNA splicing (RNA cutting and joining) processes during the post-transcriptional stage of gene expression. The RNA splicing It plays a key role in organisms, regulating gene expression, protein modification and degradation. Variations in the RSPRY1 gene are associated with the occurrence of many genetic diseases, such as Down syndrome, autism, mental retardation, and many neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, etc.). In addition, RSPRY1 gene expression levels are associated with many tumor types. Therefore, studying the role of RSPRY1 gene in disease has important clinical significance.

Structure and function of RSPRY1 gene

The RSPRY1 gene is located on human chromosome 11 (X chromosome), and its coding region includes an open reading frame (ORF). The ORF includes a conserved 伪-helix, a conserved 尾-coil, a conserved 纬-helix and a variable region. The variable region includes an N-terminal 伪-helix, a C-terminal 伪-helix, and an S-terminal 伪-helix. The conserved region of the RSPRY1 gene has a high degree of sequence conservation, suggesting that it plays a key role in brain development and function.

Disease associations of the RSPRY1 gene

Many studies have shown that variations in the RSPRY1 gene are associated with the occurrence of many genetic diseases. Variations in the RSPRY1 gene are closely related to Down syndrome, autism, mental retardation, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other genetic diseases. Studies have found that variations in the RSPRY1 gene are associated with an increased risk of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the expression level of RSPRY1 gene is also related to the progression and invasion ability of many tumor types, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, etc.

Therapeutic targets of RSPRY1 gene

Since the RSPRY1 gene plays an important role in many genetic diseases and tumor types, studying the therapeutic targets of the RSPRY1 gene has important clinical significance. Currently, treatment strategies targeting the RSPRY1 gene mainly include the following:

1. RNA splicing inhibitors

RNA splicing inhibitors are a new class of drugs that can inhibit RNA-binding proteins in the RNA splicing process, thereby blocking the function of the RSPRY1 gene. Currently, RNA splicing inhibitors targeting the RSPRY1 gene mainly include two categories: one is nucleotide binding inhibitors, such as rsRNA knockdown technology (RNA silencing technology), and the other is RNA polymerase inhibitors, such as RNA polymerase inhibitors ( RNA polymerase inhibitors). These drugs have shown good therapeutic effects in animal models, providing new ideas for RSPRY1 gene treatment.

2. RNA-binding protein antagonists

RNA-binding proteins are a class of proteins that are widely present in cells and play a key role in the RNA splicing process. RNA-binding protein antagonists are a new class of drugs that can inhibit the function of RNA-binding proteins, thereby blocking the function of the RSPRY1 gene. Currently, RNA-binding protein antagonists targeting the RSPRY1 gene mainly include two categories: one is an antibody targeting the RSPRY1 gene, and the other is an RNA-binding inhibitor targeting the RSPRY1 gene. These drugs also show good therapeutic effects in animal models, providing new ideas for RSPRY1 gene treatment.

3. RNA splicing regulators

RNA splicing modulators are a new class of drugs that can regulate RNA-binding proteins in the RNA splicing process, thereby blocking the function of the RSPRY1 gene. These drugs include RNA-binding inhibitors, RNA-modifying agents, and RNA-binding protein antagonists. Currently, RNA splicing regulators targeting the RSPRY1 gene mainly include two categories: one is RNA binding inhibitors, such as RNA silencing technology, and the other is RNA modifying agents, such as RNA modification.
