PRL-3: unveiling a new horizon in cancer therapy. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
Targeted therapies against PRL-3, encompassing small molecule inhibitors and the monoclonal antibody PRL-3-zumab, have shown promise in clinical and preclinical studies, presenting new avenues for cancer treatment. In addition, innovative approaches such as CAAX motif-targeting agents and PRL-3 degradation strategies hold promise for developing more precise and effective interventions. This review explores PRL-3's multifaceted roles across different tumor types and microenvironments, while discussing current and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at exploiting its oncogenic potential.
