The calcium homeostasis in tumor and the mechanism involving progression and metastasis
Calcium ions (Ca2+) act as important intracellular second messengers and play a key role in cellular physiological functions and signal transduction. Ca2+ significantly affects the biological behavior of tumor cells by regulating mechanisms, such as cytoskeleton reorganization, cell migration, invasion, and immune escape. Although research on calcium homeostasis in tumor progression and metastasis was historically limited, it has recently received widespread attention. Growing evidence indicates that the disruption of calcium homeostasis is closely linked to the development, invasion, and metastasis of tumors. This paper systematically reviews the mechanisms governing calcium homeostasis in tumor progression and metastasis. We focused on calcium channels, pumps, and their regulatory roles in ionic signaling networks, the tumor microenvironment, downstream signaling pathways, and immune escape. We also discussed therapeutic strategies targeting tumor progression and metastasis via the modulation of calcium homeostasis. By elucidating the role of calcium homeostasis in tumor metastasis, this review aims to provide a theoretical foundation and to identify potential targets for novel anti-metastatic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Letters is a reputable international journal that serves as a platform for significant and original contributions in cancer research. The journal welcomes both full-length articles and Mini Reviews in the wide-ranging field of basic and translational oncology. Furthermore, it frequently presents Special Issues that shed light on current and topical areas in cancer research.
Cancer Letters is highly interested in various fundamental aspects that can cater to a diverse readership. These areas include the molecular genetics and cell biology of cancer, radiation biology, molecular pathology, hormones and cancer, viral oncology, metastasis, and chemoprevention. The journal actively focuses on experimental therapeutics, particularly the advancement of targeted therapies for personalized cancer medicine, such as metronomic chemotherapy.
By publishing groundbreaking research and promoting advancements in cancer treatments, Cancer Letters aims to actively contribute to the fight against cancer and the improvement of patient outcomes.
