RESUMO
The tripartite motif proteins (TRIMs) family represents a class of highly conservative proteins which play a large regulatory role in molecular processes. Recently, increasing evidence has demonstrated a role of TRIMs in female genital neoplasms. Our review thereby aimed to provide an overview of the biological involvement of TRIMs in female genital neoplasms, to provide a better understanding of its role in the development and progression of such diseases, and emphasize its potential as targeted cancer therapy. Overall, our review highlighted that the wide-ranging roles of TRIMs, in not only target protein ubiquitination, tumor migration and/or invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stemness, cell adhesion, proliferation, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis, but also in influencing estrogenic, and chemotherapy response.
