Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nVGLL3, a transcriptional cofactor, exerts diverse roles early in development and lineage commitment. In embryonic and fetal stages, a VGLL3 homolog (VITO‑2) is expressed in the myogenic lineage, where it collaborates with TEF proteins to promote muscle differentiation, while its dynamic regulation also influences mesenchymal cell fate by inhibiting adipogenesis. Indeed, lower VGLL3 levels favor adipocyte maturation, and in differentiated myoblasts, elevated VGLL3 can promote the slow‑twitch fiber program via induction of PGC‑1α."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn the context of immune regulation and oncogenesis, aberrant VGLL3 activity has striking consequences. Overexpression of VGLL3 in the skin drives a proinflammatory gene program that mimics lupus‐like autoimmunity, characterized by B cell expansion and autoantibody production. By contrast, loss or significant reduction of VGLL3 expression in high‑grade serous ovarian carcinomas implicates it in tumor suppressor pathways, suggesting that its normal levels may be critical in maintaining balanced cellular growth and preventing malignant transformation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nVGLL3 also emerges as a key mediator in tissue remodeling processes. In fibrotic hearts, substrate stiffness promotes the nuclear translocation of VGLL3 via an integrin–Rho–actin pathway, where it forms condensates with RNA‑binding proteins to suppress microRNAs that target collagen mRNAs, thereby enhancing myofibroblast collagen production.
