The first evidence for the role of the protein elongation factor eEF1A2 in tumorigenesis was reported by Anand and colleagues who demonstrated that eEF1A2 is overexpressed in about 30% of ovarian tumors and some established ovarian cancer cells. This abnormal expression correlates with a poor prognosis. Since this discovery, there have been several reports suggesting eEF1A2 as a diagnostic marker in various cancers. This review highlights the oncogenic potential of eEF1A2.
蛋白质延伸因子eEF1A2在肿瘤发生中作用的首个证据是由阿南德及其同事报道的,他们证明eEF1A2在约30%的卵巢肿瘤和一些已建立的卵巢癌细胞中过度表达。这种异常表达与预后不良相关。自这一发现以来,已有多篇报道提示eEF1A2可作为多种癌症的诊断标志物。本综述重点介绍了eEF1A2的致癌潜力。
