B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of immunoregulatory proteins, is overexpressed in cancer and promotes tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. We discuss here the involvement of B7-H3 in cancer that goes beyond its immune regulatory function, and discuss the potential of B7-H3 as a biomarker and therapeutic target.
B7-H3是免疫调节蛋白B7家族的一员,在癌症中过度表达,促进肿瘤生长、转移和耐药性。我们在此讨论B7-H3在癌症中的作用,其作用超出了免疫调节功能,并探讨B7-H3作为生物标志物和治疗靶点的潜力。
