ABSTRACT
P2X7 receptor is an ion channel receptor with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as its ligand, which is widely expressed in various immune cells and tissues. Activated P2X7 receptor is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. P2X7 receptor is abnormally expressed in colon cancer, and plays a duel role of cancer-promoting and cancer-suppressing in colon cancer progression. When P2X7 receptor is activated by extracellular ATP, it can effectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of colon cancer cells through various mechanisms. In addition, P2X7 receptor can also promote the growth, invasion and metastasis of colon cancer. Understanding the activation of P2X7 receptor and its effect mechanism is of great significance for the treatment of colon cancer.
