    Applications
    VRK2 (vaccinia-related kinase 2) has been implicated in various biological processes and diseases. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), elevated expression of FBXL6 in hepatocytes activates VRK2, leading to immune evasion and liver cancer metastasis. VRK2 also plays a role in the association between epilepsy and COVID-19, with genetic liability to COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and severity conferring a causal effect on epilepsy and its subtypes. Additionally, reduced expression of VRK2 is associated with a higher risk of depression in humans and mediates depressive-like behaviors in mice. In male transgenic mice, elevated FBXW10 drives HCC tumorigenesis via AR-VRK2 phosphorylation-dependent GAPDH ubiquitination. These findings suggest that VRK2 is involved in immune evasion, cancer metastasis, epilepsy, and depression, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in these diseases.

    Published Data

    Fig.1 The depletion of VRK2 results in a slight inhibition of cell growth.

    Cell proliferation experiments were conducted employing a real-time cell analyzer with 293T cells stably expressing VRK2 shRNA variants, specifically #02 and #07. The application of VRK2 shRNA (#02 and #07) effectively inhibited the intrinsic cell growth, yielding consistent outcomes across HeLa cell clones that carried VRK2 shRNA constructs.

    Research Highlights

    Zhang, Jie. et al. "Elevated FBXL6 expression in hepatocytes activates VRK2-transketolase-ROS-mTOR-mediated immune evasion and liver cancer metastasis in mice." Experimental & molecular medicine, 2023.
    This article is about a study that claims to have discovered a new driver of liver cancer metastasis and a potential therapeutic target. The study found that high expression of FBXL6 in hepatocytes activates a pathway involving VRK2, TKT, ROS, mTOR, PD-L1 and immune evasion. The study also showed that blocking TKT can inhibit this pathway and reduce liver cancer metastasis in mice. The study suggests that patients with high FBXL6 expression may benefit from targeting the TKT-ROS-mTOR-PD-L1/VRK2 axis.
