In this chapter, we parse the literature on neurotrophins that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of perineural invasion (PNI) in select lineage-unrelated malignancies. We also detail evidence linking neurotrophins and their receptors (TrkA, RET, p75NGFR, and NCAM) to the pathogenesis of PNI in desmoplastic melanoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma-both malignancies with an established propensity for PNI. Lastly, the clinical potential of neurotrophins as receptors for targeted therapies is explored.
在本章中,我们剖析了有关神经营养因子的文献,这些神经营养因子与特定谱系无关的恶性肿瘤中神经周围浸润(PNI)的发病机制有关。我们还详细阐述了将神经营养因子及其受体(TrkA、RET、p75NGFR和NCAM)与促纤维增生性黑色素瘤和皮肤鳞状细胞癌中PNI的发病机制相联系的证据——这两种恶性肿瘤都具有PNI的既定倾向。最后,探讨了神经营养因子作为靶向治疗受体的临床潜力。
