NF-κB在非小细胞肺癌中的作用及治疗研究
摘 要:
核因子-κB (nuclear transcription factor-kappa B, NF-κB) 通过多种信号通路调控细胞生命代谢活动,同时它在非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC) 形成、侵袭、转移及血管生成等过程中扮演重要角色。NF-κB 在NSCLC 中处于高度活化的状态已被证实,开发运用NF-κB 抑制剂并联合放化疗等手段治疗NSCLC 患者的策略取得重大进展。此外,NF-κB 通过改变肿瘤微环境(tumor microenvironment, TME) 中免疫/ 炎症细胞的分化与功能,抑制或促进NSCLC 的生长和转移。因此,靶向NF-κB 疗法能够抑制NSCLC 的生长和转移、减少炎性因子的分泌并增强抗肿瘤免疫应答,但也要避免NF-κB 活性的抑制对免疫系统的弱化。该文对NF-κB 在NSCLC 中的作用及治疗研究进行概述。

Abstract:
Nuclear factor-kappa B (nuclear transcription factor-kappa B, NF-κB) regulates cellular metabolism through a variety of signal pathways and plays an important role in the formation, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It has been confirmed that NF-κB is highly activated in NSCLC. Strategies of NF-κB inhibition combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy for the treatment of NSCLC patients have showed great progress. In addition, NF-κB inhibition would inhibit/promote the growth or metastasis of NSCLC by changing the differentiation and function of immune/inflammatory cells in tumor microenvironment (TME). Therefore, NF-κB targeted therapy can inhibit the growth or metastasis of NSCLC, reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors and enhance anti-tumor immune response. However, it also should be noticed that the NF-κB activity inhibition might weaken the immune system. In conclusion, this article summarizes the role and treatment research related to NF-κB in NSCLC.
