二膦酸盐用于肿瘤治疗的研究进展

二膦酸盐是近年来研发的抗代谢性骨病的一类新药,其可以抑制破骨细胞介导的骨质破坏。文中综述了二膦酸盐治疗肿瘤的研究进展。其中有研究表明二膦酸盐有直接的抗肿瘤作用,包括抑制肿瘤细胞增殖,促进肿瘤细胞凋亡;减少肿瘤细胞的黏附性及侵袭性。同时有研究证实二膦酸盐尚有抑制肿瘤血管生成、调节免疫等间接抗肿瘤作用。此外,二膦酸盐与其他化疗药物或T细胞联合应用可以达到协同抗肿瘤效果。这些新发现显示二膦酸盐可能被作为一种抗肿瘤药物应用于临床。

Bisphosphonates in the treatment of cancer

Because of their ability to inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone destruction,bisphosphonates are widely used in the treatment of malignant bone diseases.Recent preclinical evidence shows that bisphosphonates not only exert direct anti-tumor effects but also have anti-angiogenic properties.And furthermore,they may act synergistically with other chemotherapeutics or T cells on tumors.These new findings are ushering in the possible application of bisphosphonates as anti-tumor therapeutics in clinical practice.
