Advances of stanniocalcin 2 in tumors / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Stanniocalcin 2,a secreted glycoprotein hormone,has been found to be highly expressed in a variety of human malignancies.Through several signal transdution pathways,stanniocalcin 2 plays important roles in the regulation of many biological events of tumor such as proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and metastasis,hypoxia tolerating and drug resistance,indicating stanniocalcin 2 may be a pivotal node in the molecular regulation network of tumor.Stanniocalcin 2 is expected to become a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for diagnosis and treatment of tumor if the funtional mechanisms of stanniocalcin 2 could be further elaborated.
