摘要
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is an endogenously produced protein that is widely expressed throughout the human body, and exhibits multiple and varied biological activities. Already established as a potent anti-angiogenic molecule, PEDF has recently shown promise as a potential anti-tumour agent, causing both direct and indirect tumour suppression. Here, we explore the unique anti-tumour properties of PEDF and discuss its role as an effective anti-angiogenic, anti-proliferative and pro-differentiation factor. We also discuss the prospects for PEDF therapy and the need for a closer evaluation of issues such as delivery, stability and potential toxicity.
