Abstract
RAS guanyl releasing protein 1 (RASGRP1) is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) characterized by the presence of a RAS superfamily GEF domain. It functions as a diacylglycerol (DAG)-regulated nucleotide exchange factor, specifically activating RAS through the exchange of bound GDP for GTP. Activation of RAS by RASGRP1 has a wide range of downstream effects at the cellular level. Thus, it is not surprising that many diseases are associated with RASGRP1 disorders. Here, we present an overview of the structure and function of RASGRP1, its crucial role in the development, expression, and regulation of immune cells, and its involvement in various signaling pathways. This review comprehensively explores the relationship between RASGRP1 and various diseases, elucidates the underlying molecular mechanisms of RASGRP1 in each disease, and identifies potential therapeutic targets. This study provides novel insights into the role of RASGRP1 in insulin secretion and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for diabetes. The limitations and challenges associated with studying RASGRP1 in disease are also discussed.

[PMID: 35832399 PMCID: PMC9271908 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s368782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Sepsis is a serious life-threatening condition characterised by multi-organ failure due to a disturbed immune response caused by severe infection. The pathogenesis of sepsis is unclear. The aim of this article is to identify potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of sepsis to improve the survival of patients with sepsis. Methods We downloaded 7 datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus database and screened the immune-related differential genes (IRDEGs). The related functions of IRDEGs were analyzed through Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG). CIBERSORT was used to evaluate the infiltration of the immune cells, and Pearson algorithm of R software was used to calculate the correlation between the immune cell content and gene expression to screen the genes most related to immune cells in sepsis group, which were intersected with IRDEGs to obtain common genes. Key genes were identified from common genes based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) greater than 0.8 in the 6 datasets. We then analyzed the predictive value of key genes in sepsis survival. Finally, we verified the expression of key genes in patients with sepsis by PCR analysis. Results A total of 164 IRDEGs were obtained, which were associated mainly with inflammatory and immunometabolic responses. Ten key genes (IL1R2, LTB4R, S100A11, S100A12, SORT1, RASGRP1, CD3G, CD40LG, CD8A and PPP3CC) were identified with high diagnostic efficacy. Logistic regression analysis revealed that six of the key genes (LTB4R, S100A11, SORT1, RASGRP1, CD3G and CD8A) may affect the survival prognosis of sepsis. PCR analysis confirmed that the expression of seven key genes (IL1R2, S100A12, RASGRP1, CD3G, CD40LG, CD8A and PPP3CC) was consistent with microarray outcome. Conclusion This study explored the immune and metabolic response mechanisms associated with sepsis, and identified ten potential diagnostic and six prognostic genes.
