Objective:

To summarize the structural features of PRDM1 and its regulatory mechanisms in immune regulation, tumor progression, and inflammation-related diseases.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • PRDM1 is essential for B cell differentiation and modulates T-cell effector functions.
    • Dysregulation of PRDM1 is associated with autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Single nucleotide polymorphisms in PRDM1 may serve as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis.
    Interpretation:

    PRDM1 functions as a regulatory node in immune and tumor biology, with context-dependent roles in tumor suppression and promotion.

    Limitations:
    • The functional heterogeneity of PRDM1 across different cell types and tissue microenvironments is not fully understood, which may impact its role in disease.
    • The mechanisms by which PRDM1 mediates epigenetic regulation in cancer remain unresolved.
    Conclusion:

    This review provides a basis for understanding PRDM1's roles in disease mechanisms.
