PIM激酶家族在各类肿瘤中高表达,并对肿瘤的发生发展起着重要的调节作用,闪此PIM激酶有望成为抗癌药物的新靶点,小分子PIM激酶抑制剂具有良好的应用前景。本文从PIM激酶家族蛋门结构、在肿瘤发生发展中的作用途径以及小分子PIM激酶抑制剂的研究进展j个方面进行综述。
PIM kinase family proteins are overexpressed in most kinds of tumours, playing a key role in the regulation of the occurrence and development of tumours. Thus, PIM kinases are expected to become a new drug target for treating tumours and small molecule inhibitors exhibit favorable application prospects. This re- view focused on the structures of PIM kinase family, action mechanisms in tumorigenesis as well as small molecule PIM kinase inhibitors from related literatures.
