    Applications
    EIF2AK2, also known as PKR (protein kinase R), is a gene that has been implicated in various diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC), pancreatic cancer, COVID-19, ischemic heart failure (IHF) comorbidity, and breast cancer related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In CRC, EIF2AK2 was identified as one of the significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and was associated with aberrant signaling pathways involved in carcinogenesis, metastatic potential of tumors, and KRAS gene mutation. In pancreatic cancer, EIF2AK2 was investigated as a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker, with higher expression observed in pancreatic cancer tissues compared to adjacent tissues. In COVID-19 and IHF comorbidity, EIF2AK2 was identified as one of the hub genes associated with disease progression, and its dysregulation was linked to immune dysregulation and increased cancer risk. In breast cancer related to SLE, EIF2AK2 was identified as a prognostic gene and had good predictive ability for the prognosis of breast cancer. Overall, EIF2AK2 appears to play a role in various diseases and may have potential applications as a diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic target.AW300:AW315

    Published Data

    Fig.1 The impact of EIF2AK2 downregulation on cell cycle progression and apoptosis in PANC-1 cells was investigated.

    Cell apoptosis was assessed through flow cytometry in PANC-1 cells, with a noteworthy promotion of apoptosis observed upon sh-EIF2AK2 intervention (P<0.05 compared to Control and NC). EIF2AK2, identified as eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase 2, was targeted using small interfering RNA (siRNA) and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) techniques.

    Research Highlights

    Holubekova, Veronika. et al. "Differential gene expression of immunity and inflammation genes in colorectal cancer using targeted RNA sequencing." Frontiers in oncology, 2023.
    In the study presented, the authors aimed to investigate the complex molecular mechanisms underlying colorectal cancer (CRC), a disease known for its heterogeneity and caused by various molecular changes such as driver mutations and gene methylations. They also explored the influence of the tumor microenvironment (TME), which contains immune cells with both pro- and anti-tumor functions, on the development and progression of CRC. By analyzing the expression patterns of inflammatory and immune-related genes, the authors identified aberrant signaling pathways involved in CRC carcinogenesis and metastatic potential, and their correlation with the Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) gene mutation.

    The study aims to investigate the potential of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase 2 (EIF2AK2) as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for pancreatic cancer. The researchers conducted immunohistochemical staining on clinical samples and analyzed RNA sequencing data to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis was performed on EIF2AK2-associated DEGs, and the clinical relevance of EIF2AK2 was determined through survival and regression analyses. A predictive nomogram model was created, and the function of EIF2AK2 was assessed in PANC-1 cells. The results suggest that EIF2AK2 may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for pancreatic cancer and could potentially be targeted for treatment.
