Elevated serum levels of a glycoprotein known as chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) have been correlated with poor prognosis and shorter survival of patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases. The biological and physiological functions of CHI3L1 in cancer have not yet been completely elucidated. In this review, we describe the role of CHI3L1 in inducing pro-inflammatory/pro-tumorigenic and angiogenic factors that could promote tumor growth and metastasis.
血清中一种名为壳三糖酶蛋白 3 样蛋白 1(CHI3L1)的糖蛋白水平升高与癌症和炎症性疾病患者的预后不良和生存期缩短相关。CHI3L1 在癌症中的生物学和生理学功能尚未完全阐明。在这篇综述中,我们描述了 CHI3L1 诱导促炎/促肿瘤发生和血管生成因子的作用,这些因子可促进肿瘤生长和转移。
