doi:10.3969/j.issn.1009-976X.2020.04.030

Abstract

Abstract: Neuropilins （NRPs） are transmembrane glycoproteins that regulates embryo tissue development, homeostasis, and cancer progression. The purpose of this review article is to discuss the function and potential mechanism of NRPs in various cancers, especially in the multifunctional cytokine transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1） signaling pathway and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition （EMT）. The characteristics of cancer stem cells （CSC） and the role of drug resistance regulation, explore how NRPs regulation can promote cell plasticity, tumor progression and metastasis. Finally, discuss the broad application prospects of NRPs in targeted therapy.

Key words: transforming growth factor-β1, cancer stem cells （CSCs）, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, neuropilins
