摘要
基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)是一族锌离子依赖的蛋白水解酶,MMPs及其组织抑制因子(TIMPs)共同参与多种生理、病理过程。不同的MMPs及TIMPs分别与子宫内膜癌患者的发病年龄、临床分期、浸润深度、腹膜细胞是否受累、组织学分级等具有相关性,MMPs-TIMPs平衡的打破也有利于肿瘤的扩散。近年的研究显示,MMPs有望作为子宫内膜癌的诊断工具及判断预后的标志物,人工合成的基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂可能成为治疗子宫内膜癌的新手段。
The matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent proteolytic enzymes,MMPs and their tissue inhibitors factor(TIMPs) participate in a variety of physiological and pathological processes.Different MMPs and TIMPs are correlated to the age of onset in patients with endometrial cancer,clinical stage,depth of invasion,whether peritoneal cells are involved,and histological grade.The disruption of the MMPs-TIMPs balance may be a favorable event for tumor dissemination.In recent years,studies have shown that MMPs are expected to be used as a diagnostic tool for endometrial cancer and prognostic markers,and synthetic matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor may become a new treatment of endometrial cancer.
