鼻咽癌的发生是一个多基因参与、多步骤的复杂过程,其中抑癌基因失活和癌基因活化是其发生的重要机制.与鼻咽癌相关的癌基因有Bcl-2、肝细胞生长因子(HGF)、环氧合酶-2(COX-2)、潜伏膜蛋白1(LMP-1),抑癌基因有p53、p16、Nm23-H1、PTEN.随着基因研究的深入,除上述基因外,鼻咽癌还与PECAM-1、MMP-9、RECK等基因相关.这些基因在鼻咽癌的发生、发展过程中有重要作用并可能成为鼻咽癌治疗的新靶点.
The occurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a multi-gene,multi-step process.Among them,oncogene activation and antioncogene inactivation is the important mechanism.The related oncogenes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma contain Bcl-2,hepatocyte growth factor (HGF),cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and latent membrane protein-1 (LMP-1).The related antioncogenes of nasopharyngeal carcinoma contain p53,p16,Nm23-H1 and PTEN.With the deepening research on genes,studies also find that nasopharyngeal carcinoma is related to PECAM-1,MMP-9 and RECK.These genes play important roles in the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma,which may become new targets for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
