摘要
棘皮动物微管结合蛋白4(EML4)与间变淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)形成的融合基因被认为是非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)新的分子靶点。最近,Ⅰ期和Ⅱ期临床研究运用ALK抑制剂治疗携带重组ALK基因的NSCLC患者的反应率达80%以上。因此,研究EML4-ALK的生物学特性、与临床病理特征的关系以及目前存在的问题,可为临床治疗此类患者提供新的思路。
The fusion gene between echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EMIA and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) has recently been identified as a new molecular target of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ clinical trials have observed remarkably clinical efficacy of ALK inhibitors in NSCLC patients harboring EMIA-ALK translocations, with response rates exceeding 〉 80%. Investigation of EMIA-ALK's biological functions and its correlation with clinical characteristics may shed some light on a new treatment strategy for NSCLC.
