摘要
棘皮动物微管结合蛋白4(echinoderm microtubule associated protein-like4,EML4)与间变淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,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。EML4-ALK融合基因的发生率为3%~11%,该融合基因在年轻、腺癌、不吸烟或轻度吸烟的NSCLC患者中发生率较高,表达阳性者可以受益于ALK抑制剂(如克唑替尼)的治疗。本文重点阐述NSCLC中EML4-ALK融合基因的生物学特性、检测方法、临床特征和治疗方式。
The fusion gene of echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) and anaplastie lymphoma kinase(ALK) has recently been identified as a new molecular target for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EML4-ALK fusion gene is about 30%- 11% in patients with NSCLC, and it has a higher morbidity in NSCLC patients who are young, without or with light smoking history and with ad EML4-ALK positive NSCLC patients may be treated with ALK inhibitor (crizotinib). This review focuses on the biology, detection method, clinical characteristics and the therapeutic application of EML4-ALK in NSCLC.
