摘要: 乙酰肝素酶(Heparanase,Hpa)是哺乳动物体内唯一能够裂解硫酸乙酰肝素蛋白多糖的酶。通过破坏细胞外基质及基底膜结构的完整性,释放胞外基质上的各种生长因子,与肿瘤的转移、侵袭密切相关。目前的研究表明Hpa在大多数中晚期肿瘤中都有表达,尤其在恶性肿瘤中异常高表达,而Hpa表达的下调可以抑制肿瘤细胞的转移,可以作为一种抗肿瘤转移相关靶点用于中晚期肿瘤的治疗。综述了Hpa的结构与功能、对肿瘤转移的促进作用及在肿瘤治疗中的应用情况。

Abstract: Heparanase(Hpa)is the only endo-glycosidase which cleaves heparan sulfate(HS)in mammalian. The enzyme also can disrupt the integrity of the extracellular matrix(ECM)and basement membrane(BM), to release various growth factors from the ECM. Hpa is associated with migration and invasion of cancer cells. Recently, a series of studies have indicated that Hpa was expressed in most advanced cancers, especially in malignant cancer, while decreased expression of Hpa is helpful to inhibit the migration of cancer cells. Heparanase can be used as a potential therapeutic target for cancers. This paper reviews the structure and functions of Hpa, its role in promoting cancer metastasis and the application in cancer therapy.

Key words: Heparanase, Cancer migration, Cancer therapy
