    Applications
    NEK4 (NIMA-related kinase 4) has been identified as a potential therapeutic target for various psychiatric disorders. In a study focused on Mendelian randomization analysis, NEK4 was found to be a promising drug target for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, supported by strong genetic evidence. Additionally, in a transcriptome-wide association study on migraines, NEK4 was identified as a candidate susceptibility gene. Another study investigating neuropsychiatric and substance use disorders found that NEK4, along with other genes, may contribute to the risk of these disorders. Furthermore, a study exploring the genetic associations between bipolar disorder and brain structural phenotypes revealed a shared genetic basis between BD and NEK4. These findings indicate that NEK4 may play a role in psychiatric disorders and could serve as a potential target for therapeutic interventions.

    FAQ

    How does NEK4 regulate epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer metastasis? Jul 23 2022

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    NEK4 acts as a positive regulator of EMT, promoting cell migration and invasion. Its suppression results in increased expression of cell adhesion-related proteins such as E-cadherin and ZO1. Jul 23 2022

    What is the role of NEK4 in replicative senescence and DNA damage response? Aug 15 2021

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    NEK4-suppressed cells show impaired cell cycle arrest in response to double-stranded DNA damage. NEK4 is involved in a complex containing DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), Ku70, and Ku80, playing a role in the DNA damage response. Aug 15 2021

    Displayed are visuals capturing the matrigel-coated transwell assay at distinct time intervals. A549 cells underwent transfection with a mixture of siNEK4 or siRNA control. These findings stem from a set of three distinct experiments.

    Research Highlights

    Li, Xiaoyan. et al. "Mendelian Randomization Using the Druggable Genome Reveals Genetically Supported Drug Targets for Psychiatric Disorders." Schizophrenia bulletin, 2023.
    Psychiatric disorders impose a significant burden on both the health and economic well-being of modern society. Despite these challenges, a completely effective treatment has yet to be found, due in part to the difficulties in identifying and validating drug targets. The authors of this study aim to address this issue by conducting a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets relevant to psychiatric disorders. This approach holds promise for improving treatment outcomes and reducing the burden of psychiatric disorders on society.

    J Meyers, Travis. et al. "Transcriptome-wide association study identifies novel candidate susceptibility genes for migraine." HGG advances, 2023.
    The authors conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic susceptibility loci for migraine, resulting in the identification of over 130 loci. However, the specific impact of these loci on migraine development remains unknown. In order to identify new genes associated with migraine, the authors performed a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) using FUSION software. They used meta-analyzed summary statistics from 26,052 migraine cases and 487,214 controls of European ancestry from two cohorts (the Kaiser Permanente GERA and the UK Biobank). They then evaluated these associations for colocalization with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) and identified 53 genes that showed significant associations with migraine after adjusting for multiple testing. Further analysis revealed that 10 of these genes (CSPG5, TANC2, ATXN1, LRP1, AZI2, CEP68, GINS4, TSPYL6, CNTN3 and TRPM7) were differentially expressed in blood samples from patients with migraine.
