EpCAM- AN OLD CANCER ANTIGEN, TURNED ONCOGENIC RECEPTOR AND ITS TAGETING IMMUNOTHERAPY
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
EpCAM is a cell adhesion molecule. Its structure, its expression and the oncogenic potential, and its signaling network and target therapy were in concise reviewed. In recent advances,in addition to PI3K/akt and Raf/MAPK pathway involving in cell survival,anti-apoptosis and proliferation,and malignant initiation and progression(see figure by Zhu,1986-91), three distinct pathway are illustrated: EpCAM/E-cadherin-catenin-actin cytoskeleton, EpCAM/ wint-catenin signaling and its major EpCAM/ nuclear signaling presented by Maetzel D in 2009 and Munz M in 2004. Moreover, more accumulated data are needed in detail mechanism. The data may provide its cancer biology and clinical targeting therapy benefits.
