Mucin 16 (MUC16) is a membrane-bound mucin that is abnormally expressed or mutated in a variety of diseases, especially tumors, while being expressed in normal body epithelium. MUC16 and its extracellular components are often important cancer-related biomarkers. Abnormal expression of MUC16 promotes tumor progression through mesenchymal protein, PI3K/AKT pathway, JAK2/STAT3 pathway, ERK/FBW7/c-Myc, and other mechanisms, and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors. In addition, MUC16 also helps tumor immune escape by inhibiting T cells and NK cells. Many drugs and trials targeting MUC16 have been developed, and MUC16 may be a new direction for future treatments. In this paper, the mechanism of action of MUC16 in the development of cancer, especially in the immune escape of tumor, is introduced in detail, indicating the potential of MUC16 in clinical treatment.
黏蛋白 16(MUC16)是一种膜结合黏蛋白,在多种疾病中异常表达或突变,尤其是肿瘤,而在正常体上皮中表达。MUC16 及其细胞外成分通常是重要的癌症相关生物标志物。MUC16 的异常表达通过间充质蛋白、PI3K/AKT 通路、JAK2/STAT3 通路、ERK/FBW7/c-Myc 等机制促进肿瘤进展,并在肿瘤的发生和发展中发挥重要作用。此外,MUC16 还通过抑制 T 细胞和 NK 细胞来帮助肿瘤免疫逃逸。目前已经开发了许多针对 MUC16 的药物和试验,MUC16 可能是未来治疗的一个新方向。本文详细介绍了 MUC16 在癌症发展中的作用机制,特别是在肿瘤免疫逃逸中的作用机制,表明了 MUC16 在临床治疗中的潜力。
