Mucin1 or MUC1 (also known as CD227, EMA, MCD, MAM6, PEM, PUM, KL-6, CA 27.29/CA 15-3) is a highly glycosylated transmembrane mucin family member protein that is overexpressed in various solid or hematological cancers. Abnormal MUC1 expression/glycosylation in cancer leads to the activation of multiple pathways, resulting in tumor migration, invasion and accelerated growth. CA 27.29/CA 15-3 are blood tumor markers used in breast cancer patients. Novel therapeutic agents targeting MUC1, including cancer vaccines, cellular therapies, radiopharmaceuticals, monoclonal antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates, are being explored in clinical studies. The current review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of MUC1 in cancer and highlights existing data for MUC1-targeting agents in the therapeutic pipeline.
黏蛋白1或MUC1(也称为CD227、上皮膜抗原、MCD、MAM6、PEM、PUM、KL-6、CA 27.29/CA 15-3)是一种高度糖基化的跨膜黏蛋白家族成员蛋白,在各种实体癌或血液系统癌症中过表达。癌症中MUC1表达/糖基化异常会导致多种信号通路激活,从而引起肿瘤迁移、侵袭和加速生长。CA 27.29/CA 15-3是用于乳腺癌患者的血液肿瘤标志物。目前正在临床研究中探索针对MUC1的新型治疗药物,包括癌症疫苗、细胞疗法、放射性药物、单克隆抗体和抗体药物偶联物。本综述总结了MUC1在癌症中的分子机制,并重点介绍了治疗研发中针对MUC1药物的现有数据。
