SEMA3F Gene

HGNC Family Semaphorins (SEMA), Immunoglobulin superfamily domain containing
Name sema domain, immunoglobulin domain (Ig), short basic domain, secreted, (semaphorin) 3F
Description This gene encodes a member of the semaphorin III family of secreted signaling proteins that are involved in axon guidance during neuronal development. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal Sema domain, an immunoglobulin loop and a C-terminal basic domain. This gene is expressed by the endothelial cells where it was found to act in an autocrine fashion to induce apoptosis, inhibit cell proliferation and survival, and function as an anti-tumorigenic agent. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nSEMA3F is a secreted class‐3 semaphorin originally characterized as an axon guidance molecule, but it has emerged as a potent tumor suppressor and anti‐angiogenic factor in diverse solid tumors. In several studies, reduced SEMA3F levels in highly metastatic melanoma, lung, breast, ovarian, colorectal, head and neck, liver, and prostate cancers correlated with increased tumor cell adhesion, invasion, and abnormal neovascularization – findings that support its role as a metastasis inhibitor. Moreover, SEMA3F expression is frequently lost or epigenetically silenced (via promoter hypermethylation or transcriptional repression by oncoproteins such as Id2 and ZEB1) in advanced cancers, and its restoration leads to increased apoptosis, normalization of tumor borders, reduced VEGF-dependent activation of endothelial cells, and suppression of cancer cell stemness. Collectively, these studies underscore the importance of SEMA3F in maintaining a suppressive tumor microenvironment and indicate that its loss contributes to tumor progression and metastasis."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "27"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMechanistically, SEMA3F exerts its multifaceted inhibitory effects by binding primarily to neuropilin‐2 (and in some contexts neuropilin‐1) and forming complexes with plexin receptors, which together trigger downstream signaling cascades.
