摘要
Endothelin-1 is a small vasoconstrictor peptide that was first identified in 1988. Here we review the evidence implicating ET-1 in tumorigenesis. In particular, we concentrate on the role of ET-1 in mitogenesis, apoptosis, angiogenesis, tumour invasion and metastasis, and discuss the potential for endothelin-system modulation as an adjuvant therapeutic strategy.
