摘要: Foxc2属于进化上高度保守的Forkhead转录因子家族中的一员,具有典型的Forkhead结构域。Foxc2参与了胚胎发育、上皮-间充质转化、间充质组织分化、脂肪细胞代谢等众多生理过程。Foxc2基因突变或调控异常可导致一系列改变,如淋巴系统和中轴骨系统发育障碍、肿瘤形成、能量代谢异常等。因此,针对Foxc2的深入研究将有助于进一步揭示与其相关疾病的发病与发展机制。本文就近年来Foxc2生理功能的研究进展进行综述。

Abstract: Foxc2, one of the family members of the evolutionarily highly conserved Forkhead transcription factors, possesses a classical Forkhead domain. Foxc2 has been shown to be involved in various physiological processes including embryonic development, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, differentiation of mesenchymal tissue and adipocyte metabolism. Mutations or abnormal regulation of Foxc2 gene could lead to a series of changes, such as developmental disorders of lymphatic system and axial bones, tumorgenesis, aberrant energetic metabolism, and etc. Thus, it seems that thorough research about Foxc2 might further unveil the pathogenesis and developmental mechanism of Foxc2-related diseases. This review mainly focused on the current research findings of physiological functions of Foxc2.
