The tumor-suppressive activity of PTEN has always been attributed to its endogenous intracellular function. Recently two different groups have demonstrated that PTEN is secreted/exported into the extracellular environment for uptake by recipient cells, and functions as a tumor suppressor in a cell non-autonomous manner.
PTEN 的肿瘤抑制活性一直归因于其内在的细胞内功能。最近,两个不同的研究小组证明了 PTEN 可以被分泌/输出到细胞外环境,被受体细胞摄取,并以非自主细胞的方式发挥肿瘤抑制作用。
