Lgr5-Wnt/β-catenin信号通路与胃癌干细胞的研究进展

Lgr5-Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and gastric cancer stem cells

  • 摘要: 随着基础研究领域的不断拓展和深入,胃癌的难治性逐渐被归因于胃癌干细胞的存在和信号通路的异常表达,其中最具代表性的当属Wnt/β-catenin信号通路。Lgr5作为Wnt/β-catenin通路的受体蛋白亦被认为是众多恶性肿瘤干细胞潜在的分子标记物。我们将就Lgr5-Wnt/β-catenin信号通路与胃癌干细胞之间的相互关系,结合目前研究进展进行综述。

     

    Abstract: With the expanded and deepened of basic research fields, the refractory of gastric cancer is generally attributed to the existence of gastric cancer stem cells and the abnormal expression of signal pathways, among which Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway is the most representative. As the receptor protein and target gene of Wnt/β-catenin signal, Lgr5 is also considered as the potential biomarker of many malignant tumor stem cells. The relationship between Lgr5-Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and gastric cancer stem cells is reviewed combining with the current research progress.
