Cancer Res:研究人员确认恶性生殖细胞肿瘤分子开关

最近,英国剑桥大学研究人员称,一种名为LIN28的蛋白在恶性生殖细胞肿瘤的形成过程中起着重要作用,是促发癌症的关键“开关”。这一发现对于开发新的恶性生殖细胞肿瘤治疗方法具有重要意义。

恶性生殖细胞肿瘤是一种各个年龄段男女都可能罹患的癌症,如睾丸癌、卵巢癌皆属于此列。虽然目前的化疗疗法可在一定程度上治疗该类疾病,但化疗产生的副作用也很严重,会损害患者的听力,造成肾脏、肺叶以及骨髓损伤。

在该项研究中,剑桥大学研究人员发现,所有的恶性生殖细胞肿瘤中都含有大量的LIN28蛋白,该种蛋白增多会降低let-7调节分子的水平;而反过来,let-7调节分子水平降低,也会增加细胞中多种促癌蛋白的含量,其中就包括LIN28蛋白。研究人员称,这是一个恶性循环,在这个过程中,LIN28蛋白起着关键作用,是这一循环的“开关”,它影响着癌细胞的多种属性。

研究人员还发现,通过降低细胞内LIN28蛋白含量,或者直接增加let-7分子水平,是可以逆转这种恶性循环的。这两种方法都可以降低促癌蛋白的水平,抑制癌细胞生长。

研究人员指出,新发现的LIN28蛋白的“开关”效应存在于所有的恶性生殖细胞肿瘤之中,因而这种蛋白将是一个十分重要的治疗标靶,据此开发的新疗法可有效减少化疗的毒性效应,提高患者的生存几率。

相关研究成果刊发在最新一期《癌症研究》杂志上。
