Abstract:
:Neuregulins, members of the largest subclass of growth factors of the epidermal growth factor family, mediate a myriad of cellular functions including survival, proliferation, and differentiation in normal tissues through binding to receptor tyrosine kinases of the ErbB family. However, aberrant neuregulin signaling in the tumor microenvironment is increasingly recognized as a key player in initiation and malignant progression of human cancers. In this chapter, we focus on the role of neuregulin signaling in the hallmarks of cancer, including cancer initiation and development, metastasis, as well as therapeutic resistance. Moreover, role of neuregulin signaling in the regulation of tumor microenvironment and targeting of neuregulin signaling in cancer from the therapeutic perspective are also briefly discussed.
