An Overview on the Emerging Role of the Plasma Protease Inhibitor Protein ITIH5 as a Metastasis Suppressor
Abstract
Most cancers are not detected until they have progressed to the point of becoming malignant and life-threatening. Chemotherapy and conventional medicines are often ineffective against cancer. Although we have made significant progress, new conceptual discoveries are still required to investigate new treatments. The role of metastasis suppressor genes as a therapeutic option for limiting tumor progression and metastasis has been on the anvil for some time. In this review, we discuss the role of ITIH5 as a metastasis suppressor gene and catalog its involvement in different cancers. We further shed light on the mode of action of ITIH5 based on the available data. The review will provide a new perspective on ITIH5 as an anti-metastatic protein and hopefully serve as an impetus for future studies towards the application of ITIH5 for clinical intervention in targeting metastatic cancers.
