    Applications
    NEK1, a serine/threonine kinase, has been studied in relation to its applications in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and esophageal adenocarcinoma. In ALS, NEK1 has been found to be associated with genetic causes of the disease, with risk variants present in 2.5% of the ALS cohort. The study also identified other genes that could potentially be ALS-causing genes. In esophageal adenocarcinoma, NEK1 expression was found to be downregulated compared to normal esophagus samples, suggesting that NEK1 may play a role in the development and progression of EAC. Additionally, NEK1 has been found to be involved in microtubule homeostasis and nuclear import, and disruptions in these processes are implicated in ALS pathophysiology. Therefore, NEK1 has been suggested as a potential therapeutic target for ALS. Furthermore, studies on genetic and proteomic risk factors of ALS have explored the potential of NEK1 as a biomarker and its application in gene therapy for ALS treatment.

    How does NEK1 affect blood-brain barrier integrity? Mar 26 2023

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    NEK1 deficiency disrupts retromer-mediated endosomal trafficking, leading to metabolic and proteomic defects that compromise the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, sensitizing cells to RIPK1-dependent apoptosis and necroptosis. Mar 26 2023

    What is the role of NEK1 in mitochondrial and lysosomal function? Jun 29 2023

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    NEK1 regulates retromer-mediated trafficking, which is essential for maintaining mitochondrial and lysosomal function. Its deficiency can lead to mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction. Jun 29 2023

    Published Data

    Fig.1 Knockdown of NEK1 in HEK293T and U87 cells.

    Lentiviral-mediated RNA interference silenced HEK293T and U87 and selected for GFP expression. Nek1 protein levels were reduced in KD cells.

    This paper outlines the effects of various forms of social media on individuals' abilities to communicate. It evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for communication purposes. The authors analyze the impact of these mediums on both verbal and nonverbal communication, as well as their influence on relationships and personal interactions. The findings suggest the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between online and in-person communication, and provide strategies for effectively utilizing social media.

    Chen, Lei. et al. "Differential Expression of NEK Kinase Family Members in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma and Barrett's Esophagus." Cancers, 2023.
    The incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has been steadily increasing over the past forty years, making it the most prevalent form of esophageal cancer in the United States and other Western countries. Recent studies have shown that the NEK (Never in Mitosis A (NIMA) Related Kinase) gene family, which consists of eleven serine/threonine kinases, plays a significant role in various types of human cancers, including EAC. However, there has been limited research on the expression of NEKs in EAC and its precursor condition, Barrett's esophagus (BE). In this study, researchers utilized bioinformatic approaches to analyze data from ten databases, including the TCGA and 9 GEO databases, to investigate the expression of NEKs in EAC and BE. Their analysis revealed a significant upregulation of NEK2, NEK3, and NEK6 in EAC compared to normal esophagus samples, while NEK1 was downregulated. However, genomic alterations of these NEKs were not found to be frequent in EAC. These findings were further validated through experiments using qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry on EAC cell lines and primary EAC tissues. The results indicate that NEK2, NEK3, and NEK7 may play a crucial role in EAC development and progression.
