Lin28, a highly conserved RNA-binding protein, plays an important role in differentiation, metabolism, proliferation, pluripotency, and tumourigenicity. Lin28 overexpression promotes tumour-cell proliferation and metastasis in various human cancers, including head and neck cancer. Multiple studies demonstrate that Lin28 critically contributes to anti-tumour immunity and production of cancer stem cells in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Thus, Lin28 has potential application in HNSCC treatment.
Lin28 是一种高度保守的 RNA 结合蛋白,在分化、代谢、增殖、多能性和致瘤性中发挥重要作用。Lin28 过表达促进多种人类癌症(包括头颈部癌症)中的肿瘤细胞增殖和转移。多项研究表明,Lin28 对头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)中的抗肿瘤免疫和癌症干细胞的产生有重要贡献。因此,Lin28 在 HNSCC 治疗中有潜在的应用。
