The transcription factor X-box binding protein-1 in tumorigenesis and development of cancer / 实用肿瘤学杂志

X-box binding protein -1(XBP-1)is a newly found protein that plays significant roles in protein folding and endoplasmic reticulum construction .The expression of XBP-1 is widely displayed in various kinds of tumor and is shown to take part in tumorigenesis and tumor progression .This review briefly summarizes the biology of XBP-1 and focuses on recent findings concerning its role in immune evasion ,tumorigenesis ,devel-opment of cancer ,angiogenesis ,hypoxia ,invasion and metastasis .
