摘要

LIM激酶家族包括两大成员:LIM激酶1(LIM kinase 1,LIMK1)和LIM激酶2(LIM kinase 2,LIMK2),在多种生物学活动中起着重要的枢纽作用,由其上游的信号分子激活,具有独特的信号通路。LIMK1是一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶,生理功能主要是把Cofilin磷酸化使之成为失活的pCofilin,进而参与调节细胞肌动蛋白骨架聚合,从而调节细胞形态、运动、黏附及迁移。体内存在多种机制调控着LIMK1的活化,活化的LIMK1在前列腺癌的发生、发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。近年来发现LIMK1对前列腺癌细胞的迁移及侵袭有重要的调节作用,可能是引起前列腺癌细胞侵袭和转移的关键分子。

Abstract

LIM kinase family includes two members: LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1) and LIM kinase 2 (LIMK2), activated by the upstream signal molecules, and plays an important role in a variety of biological activities with a unique signal pathway. LIMK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase, of which the physiological function is mainly to phosphorylate Cofilin to an inactivated pCofilin, and then participates in the regulation of cell actin skeleton polymerization, thereby regulates cell morphology, movement, adhesion and migration. There are a variety of mechanisms to regulate the activation of LIMK1. Activation of LIMK1 in the development of prostate cancer plays a vital role in the development process. Recent studies have shown that LIMK1 plays an important regulatory role in the migration and aggressiveness of prostate cancer cells, which may be the key molecules that cause invasion and metastasis of prostate cancer cell.
Keywords: LIM kinase 1; Cofilin protein; prostate cancer; migration; invasion
