The role of tumor necrosis factor-α in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma
-
摘要: 肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)通过TNF受体介导的信号通路,参与调节肝细胞癌(HCC)细胞的增殖、侵袭、迁移乃至化疗耐药等多个生物学过程。同时,TNF-α还可发挥诱导HCC细胞凋亡的作用。部分TNF-α抑制剂已被证实可抑制HCC进展,延长生存时间。目前,TNF-α在HCC中的潜在作用机制尚未完全阐明,探究TNF-α与HCC的相互作用有益于更好地确定HCC的潜在治疗靶点。本文总结TNF-α在HCC中作用机制的最新研究进展,并介绍以TNF-α为靶点治疗HCC的可能性,以期为HCC的防治和药物研发提供理论依据及参考。Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes such as the proliferation, invasion, migration, and chemotherapy resistance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells through TNF receptor-mediated signaling pathways. At the same time, TNF-α also plays a role in inducing the apoptosis of HCC cells. Some TNF-α inhibitors have been shown to inhibit the progression of HCC and prolong survival time. At present, the potential mechanism of action of TNF-α in HCC remains unclear, and exploration of the interaction between TNF-α and HCC can help to determine the potential therapeutic targets for HCC. This article summarizes the latest research advances in the mechanism of action of TNF-α in HCC and introduces the possibility of targeting TNF-α as a treatment method for HCC, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer and drug research and development.
