Research Progress of Serum VEGF and FAS in Prognosis of Gastric Cancer

Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important factor to promote endothelial cell division and angiogenesis. In physiological conditions, the expression level of VEGF in human tissues is very low. Ischemia, hypoxia and many tumors can promote the synthesis and secretion of VEGF, and its expression level is related to the degree of vascularization of tumors, the proliferation, growth and metastasis of tumor cells. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a key enzyme for endogenous fatty acid synthesis, which is expressed at a low level in normal tissue cells, while FASN in a variety of tumor cells is continuously highly expressed to meet the energy needs of cell proliferation and the excessive demand for rapid proliferation of tumor cells to form cell membrane lipids. A large amount of research shows that VEGF and FAS play an important role in the development and development of many tumors, and the abnormally high expression in tumor tissue cells is positively correlated with serum VEGF and FAS levels, which is closely related to the prognosis of tumors. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common clinical malignant tumors of the digestive tract, and its incidence and mortality have shown an increasing trend in recent years, and the prognosis is poor, seriously endangering human health. The biological properties of GC are related to the level of VEGF and FAS expression in tissues and serum. This article reviews the research progress of VEGF and FAS, their expression in GC and their prognosis.
