The mechanism of CTRP6 in promoting cancer in digestive system tumors

Abstract

Tumors of the digestive system have always received attention, and their occurrence and development are regulated by various mechanisms such as inflammation and immunity, glucose and lipid metabolism, and tumor angiogenesis. Complement Clq/TNF-related protein 6 (CTRP6) is a member of the CTRP family. It is widely expressed in various tissues and cells and plays a biological role in many aspects such as glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation. Function. Recent studies have revealed the tumor-promoting effect of CTRP6 in gastric cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal tumors, but there is no systematic discussion on the tumor-promoting mechanism of CTRP6. This article will review the role of CTRP6 in tumors of the digestive system and its possible mechanisms.
