摘要
任何事物都具有两面性,炎症反应也不例外。作为生物体内最常见的生理反应之一,炎症反应不仅可以消除细菌、病毒等外界因素的入侵,还是免疫系统用于清除病变细胞的工具,从而保证机体健康;另一方面,炎症可以促进肿瘤的发展、转移和恶变。解析炎症反应和癌症的关系,了解其中的分子机制,有助于发展新的预防和治疗癌症的方法。
genesis and tumor development. While it plays an im- portant role in promoting cancer, inflammation is a ma- jor defense mechanism of the immune system in protec- ting the body against cancer as well as infection. The relationship between inflammation and tumor in different stages of cancer development is a key issue in cancerstudy. The aim of our 973 project is to gain a better un- derstand of the role of inflammatory signaling pathways and thereby provides new ideas for preventing and trea- ting cancers.
