Cell migration, a hallmark of cancer malignancy, plays a critical role in cancers. Improperly initiated or misdirected cell migration can lead to invasive metastatic cancer. Migrasomes are newly discovered vesicular cellular organelles produced by migrating cells and depending on cell migration. Four marker proteins [NDST1 (bifunctionalheparan sulfate N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 1), EOGT (Epidermal growth factor domains pecific O-linked N-acetylglucosaminetransferase), CPQ (carboxypeptidase Q), and PIGK (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis, class K)] of migrasomes were successfully identified. There are three marker proteins (NDST1, PIGK, and EOGT) of migrasome expressed in cancer. In this review, we will discuss the process of migrasome discovery, the formation of migrasome, the possible functions of migrasome, and the differences between migrasomes and exosomes, especially, the biological functions of migrasome marker proteins in cancer, and discuss some possible roles of migrasomes in cancer. We speculate that migrasomes and migracytosis can play key roles in regulating the development of cancer.
细胞迁移是癌症恶性肿瘤的一个标志,在癌症中起着关键作用。细胞迁移启动不当或方向错误会导致侵袭性转移性癌症。迁移小体是新发现的由迁移细胞产生并依赖于细胞迁移的囊泡状细胞器。迁移小体的四种标记蛋白[NDST1(双功能硫酸乙酰肝素N-脱乙酰酶/N-磺基转移酶1)、EOGT(表皮生长因子结构域特异性O-连接N-乙酰葡糖胺转移酶)、CPQ(羧肽酶Q)和PIGK(磷脂酰肌醇聚糖锚生物合成K类)]已成功鉴定。迁移小体的三种标记蛋白(NDST1、PIGK和EOGT)在癌症中表达。在本综述中,我们将讨论迁移小体的发现过程、迁移小体的形成、迁移小体的可能功能以及迁移小体与外泌体之间的差异,特别是迁移小体标记蛋白在癌症中的生物学功能,并讨论迁移小体在癌症中的一些可能作用。我们推测迁移小体和迁移胞吐作用可能在调节癌症发展中起关键作用。
