gadd7 (growth arrested DNA-damage inducible gene 7) is a non-coding RNA discovered in the ovaries of the chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus). Homologs have been identified in the closely related Long-tailed Dwarf Hamster (C. longicaudatus).[1] Although the gene for this RNA contains open reading frames, translation studies found no protein product hence gadd7 has been classified as non-coding RNA.[2][3]

gadd7 was previously characterised as a hydrogen peroxide-inducible transcript[3] but has more recently been linked with lipotoxicity[1] - where the accumulation of lipids in non-adipose tissue brings about cell death.[4] gadd7 appears to be a key element in the lipotoxicty pathway, when it is knocked out the resulting mutant is much more resistant to oxidative stress.

The proposed mechanism for gadd7's role in lipotoxicity is:[1]

  1. The lipid palmitate builds to high concentration within a cell
  2. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated
  3. This stress induces the expression of gadd7
  4. A feed-forward mechanism occurs
  5. ER stress brings about death of the cell
