HOX基因是一个含有同源结构域的转录因子家族,在发育过程中决定细胞的身份。在这里,我们回顾了一些最近的研究表明,HOX基因在卵巢癌中强烈表达,在某些情况下,特定的HOX基因的表达足以赋予癌细胞特定的身份和表型。本文还就HOX基因在卵巢癌中的功能研究进展作一综述。使用检索词HOX基因(包括特定HOX基因)、卵巢癌和肿瘤发生进行文献检索。文章通过在ISI Web of Knowledge、PubMed和ScienceDirect中进行检索获得。总之,这些研究表明HOX基因在卵巢癌的发生中起作用,并在抑制细胞凋亡、DNA修复和增强细胞运动性中起作用。HOX基因在卵巢癌发生中的功能支持其作为预后和诊断标志物以及作为该疾病治疗靶点的潜在作用。
The HOX genes are a family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors that determine cellular identity during development. Here we review a number of recent studies showing that HOX genes are strongly expressed in ovarian cancer, and that in some cases the expression of specific HOX genes is sufficient to confer a particular identity and phenotype upon cancer cells. We also review the recent advances in elucidating the different functions of HOX genes in ovarian cancer. A literature search was performed using the search terms HOX genes (including specific HOX genes), ovarian cancer and oncogenesis. Articles were accessed through searches performed in ISI Web of Knowledge, PubMed and ScienceDirect. Taken together, these studies have shown that HOX genes play a role in the oncogenesis of ovarian cancer and function in the inhibition of apoptosis, DNA repair and enhanced cell motility. The function of HOX genes in ovarian cancer oncogenesis supports their potential role as prognostic and diagnostic markers, and as therapeutic targets in this disease.
