与其他类固醇激素受体不同,糖皮质激素受体(GR)不被认为是致癌基因。在乳腺癌中,雌激素受体(ER)驱动细胞生长、增殖和转移,雄激素受体(AR)在前列腺癌中起着类似的作用。因此,治疗这些疾病的重点是阻断类固醇激素受体功能。相反,糖皮质激素(GCs)通过GR抑制淋巴组织的生长并诱导细胞凋亡。糖皮质激素在这方面的作用非常有效,几十年来一直被用作淋巴细胞癌治疗的基石。不幸的是,并非所有患者都对GCs有反应,而且剂量受到近期和长期副作用的限制。在本章中,我们回顾了使用糖皮质激素作为治疗剂的治疗方案,详细阐述了已知的糖皮质激素在这些癌症中的作用机制,并总结了糖皮质激素在其他癌症中的姑息性应用。
Unlike other steroid hormone receptors, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is not considered an oncogene. In breast cancer, the estrogen receptor (ER) drives cell growth, proliferation, and metastasis, and the androgen receptor (AR) plays a similar role in prostate cancer. Accordingly, treatment of these diseases has focused on blocking steroid hormone receptor function. In contrast, glucocorticoids (GCs) work through GR to arrest growth and induce apoptosis in lymphoid tissue. Glucocorticoids are amazingly effective in this role, and have been deployed as the cornerstone of lymphoid cancer treatment for decades. Unfortunately, not all patients respond to GCs and dosage is restricted by immediate and long term side effects. In this chapter we review the treatment protocols that employ glucocorticoids as a curative agent, elaborate on what is known about their mechanism of action in these cancers, and also summarize the palliative uses of glucocorticoids for other cancers.
