Abstract:
Neutrophil extracellular traps(NET)is neutrophil-derived extracellular fiber web-like structure, composed of DNA scaffold studded with various active proteins. In addition to its bactericidal effect, NET is closely related to various diseases including immune disease, thrombosis and tumor. Recently, lots of researches have shown that NET is highly expressed in a variety of tumors, tumor cells and microenvironment can promote NET formation, whereas NET participates in tumor progression as well, and is closely related to tumor proliferation, metastasis and thrombosis, which provides new clinical thinking in tumor diagnosis as well as treatment indeed. This review will focus on the research progress of NET and tumor, meanwhile make a prospect for its clinical application value.
