Progress of erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A2 receptor in glioma / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A2 receptor (EphA2) is the most common subtype in the largest subfamily of the receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily, and is considered as a key factor in the regulation of malignant tumor progression. EphA2 is highly expressed in glioma, which plays an important role in the development and progression of glioma. This article reviews the structure, function, expression of EphA2 in glioma, and its role in glioma cell migration, maintenance of glioma stem cells, angiogenesis and targeted therapy.
