TUMOUR MARKER AQUAPORIN 2 PROTEIN AND APPLICATION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a tumour marker aquaporin 2 protein and an application thereof, belonging to the fields of tumour detection and molecular targeted therapy. The present invention comprises applications of the aquaporin 2 protein in the following functions: (1) as a new tumour marker used for the early diagnosis and prognostic determination of malignant tumours including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, kidney cancer and prostate cancer; (2) inhibiting tumour cell proliferation; (3) inhibiting tumour cell migration; (4) inhibiting animal transplant tumour model growth. Targeted therapy which uses the aquaporin 2 protein as a biomarker, as in the present invention, provides new ideas for the treatment of malignant tumours such as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, kidney cancer and prostate cancer.
