Advance of substance P/neurokinin receptor 1 system in cancer treatment

doi:10.16098/j.issn.0529-1356.2019.06.030

Abstract

Abstract:

Substance P (SP) is the first identified peptide in tachykinin family, which widespreadly distributes in both central and peripheral nervous systems of mammals and is involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Neurokinin receptors (NKRs) belong to the G-protein coupled receptor family, including NK1R, NK2R and NK3R. SP has the highest affinity and is the selectivity ligand for NK1R. Cumulative experimental results have shown that SP/NK1R system is involved in the cancer process and NK1R has the potential to be a new target for cancer treatment. In this review, we focus on the expression levels of SP/NK1R system in cancers and how to develop SP/NK1R system as a new target for cancer treatment.

Key words: Substance P/neurokinin 1 receptor system, Distribution, Cancer treatment
