The RNA helicase Ddx52 functions as a growth switch in juvenile zebrafish

Abstract: Vertebrate animals usually display robust growth trajectories during juvenile stages, and reversible suspension of this growth momentum by a single genetic determinant has not been reported. Here, we report a single genetic factor that is essential for juvenile growth in zebrafish. Using a forward genetic screen, we recovered a temperature-sensitive allele, pan (after Peter Pan), that suspends whole-organism growth at juvenile stages. Remarkably, even after growth is halted for a full 8-week period, pan mutant… Show more

“…For instance, studies on prostate cancer cells suggest that DDX52 inhibition can effectively retard cancer cell growth by modulating the c-Myc signaling pathway 8 . Findings from a zebrafish model emphasize DDX52’s role as a growth regulator during early developmental stages 9 . Similarly, targeting DDX52 has demonstrated suppression of melanoma cell proliferation through its influence on c-Myc 10 .…”
