摘要: 归纳上皮性肿瘤的发生发展及侵袭和转移研究中的关键问题,以及环氧化酶2 (COX-2)和锌指转录因子Snail蛋白在上皮性肿瘤的表达情况、调控环节。初步探讨COX信号通道[COX-前列腺素E(PGEs)依赖途径]在上皮性卵巢癌的侵袭转移中的意义。在卵巢癌发生发展过程中的COX-2高表达导致前列腺素E水平增高,上调锌指转录因子Snail蛋白表达,后者与E-钙粘蛋白(E-cadherin)启动子上的E-Box作用元件结合而抑制E-cadherin的转录。作为细胞黏附分子的E-cadherin表达下调,促进肿瘤细胞侵袭转移潜力。

Abstract:

Firstly,we sum up some key issues on the occurrence, the development, the invasion and the metastasis research of epithelial tumors, and the way of the expression of COX-2 and zinc finger transcription factor Snail protein in the development of epithelial tumors and its regulatory aspects. Then the paper preliminarily explores the signal significance of cyclooxygenase-signaling pathway(COX-PGEs-dependent pathway) in epithelial ovarian cancer invasion and metastasis: the high expression of COX-2 in the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer can lead to increased levels of prostaglandin E, consequently increasing the zinc-finger transcription factor Snail protein expression, while the binding of Snail protein and E-cadherin promoter effect on the E-Box element inhibits E-cadherin transcription, because E-cadherin reduction as a cell adhesion molecule may promote tumor cell invasion and metastasis potential. Lastly the paper reviews the COX-signal channels and invasive behavior of malignant tumor cells, the mechanism of influence, and the zinc-finger transcription factor Snail as the invasive and metastatic potential of ovarian cancer marker protein.
