Unravelling the function of prdm16 in human tumours: A comparative analysis of haematologic and solid tumours.

Extensive research has shown that PR domain 16 (PRDM16) plays a critical role in adipose tissue metabolism, including processes such as browning and thermogenesis of adipocytes, beigeing of adipocytes, and adipogenic differentiation of myoblasts. These functions have been associated with diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Additionally, PRDM16 has been correlated with various other conditions, including migraines, heterochromatin abnormalities, metabolic syndrome, cardiomyopathy, sarcopenia, nonsyndromic cleft lip, and essential hypertension, among others. However, there is currently no systematic or comprehensive conclusion regarding the mechanism of PRDM16 in human tumours, including haematologic and solid tumours. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the research progress on PRDM16 in haematologic and solid tumours by incorporating recent literature findings. Furthermore, we explore the prospects of PRDM16 in the precise diagnosis and treatment of human haematologic and solid tumours.
