Abstract:

In recent years, the morbidity and mortality of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ) have been increasing worldwide, and the treatment strategies for HCC are still insufficient, which highlights the importance of exploring the pathogenesis and progression of HCC. Transient receptor potential ( TRP ) pathway is an important non-selective cation pathway, which is closely related to inflammatory response and sensory conduction. At present, a number of studies have shown that TRP pathway is also involved in the occurrence and development of HCC, inducing HCC invasion and migration. However, the overall potential mechanism and possible signal transduction pathways of TRP pathway in HCC remain unclear. Therefore, this article discusses the abnormal expression of TRP pathway in HCC, and reviews the key biological events of TRP pathway involved in the formation and progression of HCC, such as chronic liver inflammation-fibrosis progression, HCC cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and HCC stem cell generation, and looks forward to its application prospect in HCC treatment. The aim is to better understand the significance of TRP pathway in HCC, help to find new therapeutic targets and effective drugs, and open up a new situation for future clinical treatment.
