Recent progresson nuclear export protein XPO1 inhibitor in the treatment of hematological malignancies

Most tumor suppressor and growth-regulating proteins are transported via the plasmic nuclear transporter exportin 1(XPO1).Many malignancies have excessive XPO1 expression,which is associated with disease progression and resistance to therapy.A novel class of anticancer medication called selective inhibitor of nuclear export(SINE)can down-regulate the levels of a number of antigenic proteins in the cytoplasm,activate tumor suppressor and other growth regulating proteins,and promote the nuclear retention and apoptosis of tumor cells.This article discusses the function of XPO1 in drug resistance and tumor development as well as the advancement of XPO1 inhibitor research for the treatment of hematological cancers.
