FOSB

L'FBJ murine osteosarcoma viral oncogene homolog B, noto anche come FOSB, FosB o ΔFosB , è una proteina che, negli esseri umani, è codificata dal gene FosB.^[1]^[2]^[3]

La famiglia di geni FOS è composta da 4 forme: FOS, FosB, FOSL1, e FOSL2. Questi geni codificano proteine cerniera di leucine che può dimerizzare proteine della famiglia JUN (ad esempio, c-Jun, Jund), formando così il fattore di trascrizione complesso AP-1. Come tali, le proteine FOS sono state implicate nella regolazione della proliferazione cellulare, differenziamento e trasformazione.^[1] FosB e il suo splicing alternativo ΔFosB e Δ2ΔFosB sono tutti coinvolti nell'osteosclerosi, anche se Δ2ΔFosB manca di un noto dominio di transattivazione, impedendogli di influenzare la trascrizione genica attraverso il complesso AP-1.^[8]

La variante di splicing ΔFosB è stata identificata giuocare un ruolo centrale e cruciale (condizione necessaria e sufficiente)^[9] nello sviluppo e il mantenimento di un comportamento patologico e nella plasticità neurale coinvolta nella dipendenza comportamentale (associata con ricompense naturali) e la dipendenza .^[4]^[9]

«ΔFosB as a therapeutic biomarker. The strong correlation between chronic drug exposure and ΔFosB provides novel opportunities for targeted therapies in addiction (118), and suggests methods to analyze their efficacy (119). Over the past two decades, research has progressed from identifying ΔFosB induction to investigating its subsequent action (38). It is likely that ΔFosB research will now progress into a new era – the use of ΔFosB as a biomarker. If ΔFosB detection is indicative of chronic drug exposure (and is at least partly responsible for dependence of the substance), then its monitoring for therapeutic efficacy in interventional studies is a suitable biomarker (Figure 2). Examples of therapeutic avenues are discussed herein....Conclusions
ΔFosB is an essential transcription factor implicated in the molecular and behavioral pathways of addiction following repeated drug exposure. The formation of ΔFosB in multiple brain regions, and the molecular pathway leading to the formation of AP-1 complexes is well understood. The establishment of a functional purpose for ΔFosB has allowed further determination as to some of the key aspects of its molecular cascades, involving effectors such as GluR2 (87,88), Cdk5 (93) and NF-κB (100). Moreover, many of these molecular changes identified are now directly linked to the structural, physiological and behavioral changes observed following chronic drug exposure (60,95,97,102). New frontiers of research investigating the molecular roles of ΔFosB have been opened by epigenetic studies, and recent advances have illustrated the role of ΔFosB acting on DNA and histones, truly as a ‘‘molecular switch’’ (34). As a consequence of our improved understanding of ΔFosB in addiction, it is possible to evaluate the addictive potential of current medications (119), as well as use it as a biomarker for assessing the efficacy of therapeutic interventions (121,122,124). Some of these proposed interventions have limitations (125) or are in their infancy (75). However, it is hoped that some of these preliminary findings may lead to innovative treatments, which are much needed in addiction.»
