The transferrrin(Tf)and the transferrin receptor(TfR)are effective anti tumor agents which exist widely in human body .The Tf takes an important role in iron metabolism ,while the TfR disturbs iron metab-olism and controls the iron absorbing .The compound of Tf and TfR can induce tumor cells apoptosis .Therefore , the combination of Tf and TfR can inhibit tumor growth efficiently .In addition,it is also good for anti tumor indi-rectly by taking Tf/TfR as target and using artemisinin .This article will review and summarize the anti tumor effect of transferrin and transferrin receptor .%转铁蛋白( Transferrin,Tf)与转铁蛋白受体( Transferrin receptor ,TfR)抗肿瘤作用显著,它们广泛存在于人体中。 Tf参与铁的代谢,TfR干扰铁的代谢,控制铁的吸收,与转铁蛋白组成复合物诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡。 Tf与TfR的结合,共同通过维持铁代谢,调节细胞生长与代谢和肿瘤细胞的代谢。本文就转铁蛋白-转铁蛋白受体在抗肿瘤方面的作用进行综述。
