Abstract

BTB domain and CNC homolog 1 (BACH1) belongs to the family of basic leucine zipper proteins and is expressed in most mammalian tissues. It can regulate its own expression and play a role in transcriptionally activating or inhibiting downstream target genes. It has a crucial role in various biological processes, such as oxidative stress, cell cycle, heme homeostasis, and immune regulation. Recent research highlights BACH1's significant regulatory roles in a series of conditions, including stem cell pluripotency maintenance and differentiation, growth, senescence, and apoptosis. BACH1 is closely associated with cardiovascular diseases and contributes to angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, restenosis, pathological cardiac hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. BACH1 promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasis by altering tumor metabolism and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype. Moreover, BACH1 appears to show an adverse role in diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, leukemia, pulmonary fibrosis, and skin diseases. Inhibiting BACH1 may be beneficial for treating these diseases. This review summarizes the role of BACH1 and its regulatory mechanism in different cell types and diseases, proposing that precise targeted intervention of BACH1 may provide new strategies for human disease prevention and treatment.
