Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in children, representing approximately 8% of all malignant childhood tumors and 15% of pediatric cancer-related deaths. Recent sequencing and transcriptomics studies have demonstrated the RAS-MAPK pathway's contribution to the development and progression of neuroblastoma. This review compiles up-to-date evidence of this pathway's involvement in neuroblastoma. We discuss the RAS-MAPK pathway's general functioning, the clinical implications of its deregulation in neuroblastoma, and current promising therapeutics targeting proteins involved in signaling.
神经母细胞瘤是儿童最常见的颅外实体瘤,约占所有儿童恶性肿瘤的 8%,占儿童癌症相关死亡的 15%。最近的测序和转录组学研究表明,RAS-MAPK 通路参与了神经母细胞瘤的发生和发展。本综述汇总了该通路在神经母细胞瘤中作用的最新证据。我们讨论了 RAS-MAPK 通路的一般功能,其在神经母细胞瘤中失调的临床意义,以及目前针对信号转导相关蛋白的有前途的治疗方法。
