Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Due to the lack of specific therapeutic targets, treatment options are limited, and the recurrence and metastasis rate is high, the overall survival of patients is poor. However, with the discovery of some new targets and the corresponding immune regulation after targeting these targets, TNBC has a new hope in treatment. The peptide has a simple structure, strong binding affinity, and high stability, and has great potential in targeted therapy and immune regulation against TNBC. This review will discuss how single peptides and peptide combinations target triple-negative breast cancer to exert immunomodulatory effects. Among them, single peptides target specific receptors on TNBC cells, act as decoys to target key ligands in the regulatory pathway, and target TME-related cells. The combinations of peptides work in the form of cancer vaccines, engineered exosomes, microRNAs and other immune-related molecular pathways, immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and drug-peptide conjugates. This article is mainly dedicated to exploring new treatment methods for TNBC to improve the curative effect and prolong the survival time of patients.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是乳腺癌中侵袭性最强的亚型。由于缺乏特定的治疗靶点,治疗选择有限,复发和转移率高,患者的总体生存率较差。然而,随着一些新靶点的发现以及针对这些靶点的靶向免疫调节,TNBC 的治疗有了新的希望。肽具有结构简单、结合亲和力强、稳定性高等特点,在针对 TNBC 的靶向治疗和免疫调节方面具有很大的潜力。本综述将讨论单一肽和肽组合如何靶向三阴性乳腺癌发挥免疫调节作用。其中,单一肽靶向 TNBC 细胞上的特定受体,作为诱饵以靶向调节通路中的关键配体,并靶向 TME 相关细胞。肽的组合以癌症疫苗、工程外泌体、microRNAs 和其他免疫相关分子途径、免疫检查点抑制剂、嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞和药物-肽偶联物的形式发挥作用。本文主要致力于探索 TNBC 的新治疗方法,以提高疗效并延长患者的生存时间。
