Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Compelling evidence for deregulated FGF signaling in tumorigenesis continues to emerge, and a growing body of research suggests that FGF may also play an integral role in the resistance to anti-VEGF therapy. Although agents targeting FGF signaling are early in development, the potential to target both the VEGF and FGF pathways may translate into improvements in the clinical care of cancer patients.
成纤维细胞生长因子 (FGF) 信号转导调节细胞增殖、分化、存活、血管生成和伤口愈合。越来越多的证据表明,FGF 信号转导失调在肿瘤发生中起着重要作用,并且越来越多的研究表明,FGF 可能在抗血管内皮生长因子 (VEGF) 治疗的耐药性中发挥重要作用。尽管针对 FGF 信号的药物仍处于早期开发阶段,但靶向 VEGF 和 FGF 通路的潜力可能会改善癌症患者的临床治疗效果。
