摘要
肿瘤坏死因子凋亡微弱诱导剂(tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis,TWEAK)是新发现的肿瘤坏死因子超家族成员,广泛表达于人体各种组织细胞中,通过与其受体成纤维细胞生长诱导因子14(fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14,Fn14)特异性结合发挥生物学效应。TWEAK和Fn14在肿瘤的发生发展中起重要的调控作用,包括诱导细胞凋亡,促进细胞增殖和血管形成,提高细胞侵袭力和炎症效应等。最新研究认为,TWEAK和Fn14与妇科肿瘤的发生发展密切相关,可能成为妇科肿瘤治疗的新靶点。
Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is a new member of the TNF family, which widely expressed in human tissues. TWEAK plays biological roles by combining specifically its receptor, fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fnl4). TWEAK -Fnl4 system is important in regulating tumor development and prognosis, including cell apoptosis, tumor hyperplasia, differentiation, angiopoiesis, invasion and inflammation. It was demonstated that the TWEAK -Fnl4 signaling was related to gynecologic tumors, and that TWEAK -Fnl4 maybe a potential candidate target for treatment of gynecologic neoplasms.
