【摘要】 同源盒蛋白(HOX)基因编码了一组进化上高度保守的蛋白，且与胚胎的轴向发育密切相关，HOX基因的缺失或异常表达引起的体节发育异常已在果蝇及小鼠等动物中被观察到。而后续研究发现，HOX基因家族编码的蛋白质也参与肿瘤发生发展的调控。以往作者对HOX全家族进行了综述，随着研究的深入，我们关注到该家族成员HOXB9的重要作用，并在该蛋白翻译后修饰的研究中取得了新的进展。我们以HOXB9为主线，对该分子参与的肿瘤相关信号通路以及该分子翻译后修饰对肿瘤进展的调节作用进行了总结，并对未来可能的研究方向做出展望。更多还原

【Abstract】 Homeobox(HOX) genes encode a group of proteins that are highly conserved and closely related to the axial differentiation of embryos. The disorder of segmental development caused by HOX genes deficiency or abnormal expression has been observed in drosophila and mice. However, subsequent studies have found that proteins encoded by the HOX gene family are also involved in the regulation of tumor genesis and development. The roles of the whole HOX family had been reviewed by the author in the past, and through the in-depth researches, the author paid attention to the pivotal role of HOXB9 and made new progress in the study of post-translational modifications of this protein. Taking HOXB9 as a clue, this review summarizes the tumor-related signaling pathways and the modulating effects of post-translational modification of HOXB9 on tumor progression, as well as the possible research directions in the future.更多还原
