简介:烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(nAChR)是细胞膜上超家族配体门控离子通道受体,依赖尼古丁及其代谢产物的活性,激活各种代谢通路。这些代谢通路与肿瘤细胞的增殖、生存、迁移、侵袭、凋亡和血管生成有密切的联系,而CHRNA5-A3-B4是编码nAChRα5、α3和β4亚基的一组基因簇。研究证实,CHRNA5-A3-B4基因的多种单核苷酸多态性(SNP)与肿瘤的发生发展相关,这种突变的多样性,促进了更为主效的基因位点的探索,为肿瘤的靶向治疗提供依据。本文结合相关研究,从肺癌、食管癌及其他相关肿瘤疾病的发生来阐述CHRNA5-A3-B4相关SNP基因位点,以便获取主效基因位点。

简介:许多人类疾病的发生和发展可归因于一些基因的异常表达,从而导致疾病的发生。其中一部分基因是在核因子kappaB(nuclearfactor-kappaB,NF—κB)调控下进行的。NF—κ是广泛存在于哺乳动物中的转录因子,是由Sen等于1986年首先在B细胞中发现的一种核蛋白。因它能与B细胞免疫球蛋白上的K轻链基因增强子κB序列(GGGACTITCC)特异结合而得名。实际上它能与多种细胞基因的启动子和增强子序列位点发生特异性结合,并促进转录和表达,参与众多与免疫和炎症反应有关的基因转录的调控。它的异常激活或完全抑制与多种疾病的发生有关。在控制细胞增殖、凋亡、肿瘤的发生、发展和耐药问题上均起着重要的作用。因此深入探讨NF—κB在体内病理状态下的活化机制以及其与细胞、基因之间的调节作用具有重要的意义。现就NF—κB的组成、结构、激活途径以及与肿瘤的关系作一综述。
