IGF-1 is a potent mitogen of major importance in the mammary gland. IGF-1 binding to the cognate receptor, IGF-1R, triggers a signaling cascade leading to proliferative and anti-apoptotic events. Although many of the relevant molecular pathways and intracellular cascades remain to be elucidated, a growing body of evidence points to the important role of the IGF-1 system in breast cancer development, progression and metastasis. IGF-1 is a point of convergence for major signaling pathways implicated in breast cancer growth. In this review, we provide an overview and concise update on the function and regulation of IGF-1 as well as the role it plays in breast malignancies.
胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)是乳腺中一种极为重要的促有丝分裂原。IGF-1与同源受体IGF-1R结合后,会触发一系列信号级联反应,从而引发增殖和抗凋亡事件。尽管许多相关的分子途径和细胞内级联反应仍有待阐明,但越来越多的证据表明IGF-1系统在乳腺癌的发生、发展和转移中起着重要作用。IGF-1是参与乳腺癌生长的主要信号通路的汇聚点。在本综述中,我们对IGF-1的功能、调节及其在乳腺恶性肿瘤中所起的作用进行了概述和简要更新。
