摘要
生长分化因子-15(GDF-15)是转化生长因子超家族(TGF-βs)的一个远支成员,它在多种损伤及肿瘤等病理、生理过程中发挥促凋亡、抗肿瘤、神经营养以及心肌保护等作用。文章主要综述GDF-15基因、GDF-15及其抗体的结构与功能特点,大肠癌(CRC)患者血清中GDF-15含量、基因型与发病的关系,多种抗肿瘤物质对GDF-15在大肠癌组织及细胞中表达的影响。
GDF-15,a distant member of the TGF-superfamily,is identified as an apoptotic accelerat- ing,anti-tumorigenesis and nerve2nutritional factor in varied injures and tumors and has cardioprotective ac- tivity.The characteristics and roles of GDF-15 gene/protein and antibodies are expounded besides the rela- tionship between GDF-15 serum level/genetypes and CRC.It is also discussed here that some antitumorigenic substances inducing GDF-15 in CRC tissues and CRC cells.
