肾上腺素能受体在脑胶质瘤发生和发展中作用的研究进展

Role of adrenergic receptors in tumorigenesis and development of glioma

脑胶质瘤是侵袭能力极强的恶性肿瘤,目前治疗策略主要是手术治疗辅助放射治疗、化学治疗和免疫治疗等多种治疗,但疗效有限。肾上腺素能受体(adrenergic receptor, AR)是体内一种重要的应激激素受体,AR通过激活下游不同信号转导通路广泛参与调节多种肿瘤的发生与发展进程。最近研究显示,AR在脑胶质瘤细胞以及组织中表达失调,在脑胶质瘤的发生、侵袭和转移等一系列生物学行为中发挥着重要作用。本文对近年来AR在脑胶质瘤发生和发展中的研究进展进行综述,为以AR为靶点的脑胶质瘤的预防和治疗提供理论依据。

Gliomas are malignant tumors with strong invasiveness. The current treatment strategy is surgical treatment assisted by a variety of radiotherapies, chemotherapies and immunotherapies. However, the curative efficacy is limited. Adrenergic receptor(AR) is an important stress hormone receptor, which is highly involved in the regulation of the tumorigenesis and progression of various tumors by activating different downstream signal transduction pathways. Recent studies have shown that AR is dysregulated in glioma cells and tissues, and plays an important role in a series of biological behaviors such as tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis of glioma. This article reviews the research progress of AR in the field of glioma in recent years, which provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of glioma targeting the AR.
