VSTM4, an orthologous gene to human V-set and transmembrane domain-containing 4 (VSTM4), plays a crucial role in multiple cellular processes, acting upstream or within endothelial cell migration, retina blood vessel maintenance, and vasculature development. Positioned in both the extracellular region and plasma membrane, VSTM4 is predicted to be an integral component of the cellular membrane. The intricate involvement of VSTM4 in essential biological processes, particularly those related to vascular development, underscores its significance in maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system.
The targeted inhibition of VSTM4 involves a strategic interference with key signaling pathways and cellular processes associated with its predicted functions. Various chemical inhibitors, such as those targeting TGF-β and VEGF receptors, disrupt the signaling cascades implicated in vasculature development and endothelial cell migration. Inhibition of integrins and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) further impacts cellular processes related to migration, potentially influencing VSTM4 indirectly. Modulation of kinases like ROCK, p38 MAPK, and JNK, through specific inhibitors, offers additional avenues for interference, as these pathways are intricately linked to cellular responses involved in vasculature development. Overall, the inhibition of VSTM4 requires a nuanced understanding of the interconnected signaling pathways and cellular functions in which it participates, providing a foundation for exploring the regulatory mechanisms underlying vascular biology.
