Abstract

Background: Individualization of the therapeutic plan for cancer patients is the essence of modern clinical practice. Standard cancer diagnostic and prognostic factors are invasive, and their value for the stratification of cancer patients with a higher risk of local or distant recurrence is limited. YKL-40 is a protumor glycoprotein linked to the immunosuppressive tumor in a microenvironment and an important biomarker of cell activation, proliferation, and migration.

Objective: The objective is to update the review, and molecular and clinical research should investigate novel modalities of targeting this glycoprotein for cancer treatment.

Methodology: Relevant studies published in the English language were identified by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE from January 2000 to December 2023. Published studies that specifically elicited the role of YKL-40 as a biomarker in different types of tumors were included.

Results: YKL-40 cancer prognostic effect was reported in various cancer types.

Conclusion: Since antibodies against YKL-40 can inhibit tumor angiogenesis and cancer progression, it can be suggested as an attractive candidate for chemical cancer therapy and immunomodulation.

期刊介绍： Current Gene Therapy is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed journal aimed at academic and industrial scientists with an interest in major topics concerning basic research and clinical applications of gene and cell therapy of diseases. Cell therapy manuscripts can also include application in diseases when cells have been genetically modified. Current Gene Therapy publishes full-length/mini reviews and original research on the latest developments in gene transfer and gene expression analysis, vector development, cellular genetic engineering, animal models and human clinical applications of gene and cell therapy for the treatment of diseases. Current Gene Therapy publishes reviews and original research containing experimental data on gene and cell therapy. The journal also includes manuscripts on technological advances, ethical and regulatory considerations of gene and cell therapy. Reviews should provide the reader with a comprehensive assessment of any area of experimental biology applied to molecular medicine that is not only of significance within a particular field of gene therapy and cell therapy but also of interest to investigators in other fields. Authors are encouraged to provide their own assessment and vision for future advances. Reviews are also welcome on late breaking discoveries on which substantial literature has not yet been amassed. Such reviews provide a forum for sharply focused topics of recent experimental investigations in gene therapy primarily to make these results accessible to both clinical and basic researchers. Manuscripts containing experimental data should be original data, not previously published.
