摘要
骨肉瘤是一种好发于青少年的常见骨骼系统恶性肿瘤。骨肉瘤的生长和转移主要依赖肿瘤中血管的生成。色素上皮衍生因子(pigment epithelium-derived factor,PEDF)是一种最有力的血管生成抑制剂,并被证实在骨肉瘤生长、侵袭和转移的过程中具有多种重要作用,故有望成为治疗骨肉瘤的新药物。
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a disease apt to afflict teenagers. The growth and metastasis of OS depend on tumor angio- genesis. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is one of the most potent inhibitors of angiogenesis, and has recently been demon- strated to have an important muhifunctional role in OS growth, invasion, and metastasis. PEDF therefore might be a promising thera- peutic agent for the treatment of patients with OS.
