Autotaxin (ATX), the protein product of Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase Phosphodiesterase 2 (), is a secreted lysophospholipase D (lysoPLD) responsible for the extracellular production of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). ATX-LPA pathway signaling participates in several normal biological functions, but it has also been connected to cancer progression, metastasis and inflammatory processes. Significant research has established a role in breast cancer and it has been suggested as a therapeutic target and/or a clinically relevant biomarker. Recently, methylation was described, revealing a potential for clinical exploitation in liquid biopsy. The current review aims to gather the latest findings about aberrant signaling through ATX-LPA in breast cancer and discusses the role of expression and epigenetic modification, giving insights with translational value.
自分泌运动因子(ATX)是胞外核苷酸焦磷酸酶/磷酸二酯酶2(ENPP2)的蛋白质产物,是一种分泌型溶血磷脂酶D(lysoPLD),负责溶血磷脂酸(LPA)的细胞外生成。ATX-LPA信号通路参与多种正常生物学功能,但也与癌症进展、转移和炎症过程有关。大量研究已证实其在乳腺癌中的作用,并有人提出将其作为治疗靶点和/或具有临床相关性的生物标志物。最近,有人描述了(此处原文似乎不完整,可能有信息缺失)甲基化,揭示了其在液体活检中的临床应用潜力。本综述旨在收集有关乳腺癌中通过ATX-LPA异常信号传导的最新发现,并讨论(此处原文似乎不完整,可能有信息缺失)表达和表观遗传修饰的作用,提供具有转化价值的见解。
