Abstract:
As the major intracellular anion, chloride plays an important role in maintaining intracellular and extracellular ion homeostasis, osmotic pressure, and cell volume. Intracellular chloride channel 1, which has the physiological role of forming membrane proteins in the lipid bilayer and playing ion channels, is a hot research topic in recent years. It has been found that CLIC1 does not only act as an ion channel but also participates in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and intracellular oxidation; thus, it participates in the proliferation, invasion, and migration of various tumor cells in various systems throughout the body. At the same time, CLIC1 is highly expressed in tumor cells and is associated with malignancy and a poor prognosis. This paper reviews the pathological mechanisms of CLIC1 in systemic diseases, which is important for the early diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of systemic diseases associated with CLIC1 expression.
