Holliday交叉识别蛋白(HJURP)是一种关键的组蛋白伴侣蛋白,负责介导着丝粒特异性组蛋白变体CENP-A的装载,同时参与DNA损伤修复,在维持基因组稳定性中发挥核心作用。其功能失调可导致染色体不稳定性,从而促进肿瘤发生。近年来,泛癌分析显示,HJURP在肺癌、乳腺癌、肝癌等多种癌症中异常高表达,且与患者的不良预后显著相关。由于其在多种癌症中的关键作用,HJURP被认为是潜在的预后生物标志物和治疗靶点。本综述系统阐述了HJURP的分子结构及核心生物学功能,重点归纳了HJURP通过驱动细胞周期、促进上皮间质转化、抑制铁死亡、重塑肿瘤免疫微环境及诱导治疗抵抗等多重机制推动肿瘤恶性进展的最新研究进展,并深入探讨了HJURP作为预后生物标志物和新型治疗靶点的临床转化前景与挑战,以期为开发跨癌种的精准治疗策略提供重要的理论依据。
Holliday junction recognition protein (HJURP) is a crucial histone chaperone protein that mediates the loading of the centromere-specific histone variant CENP-A. It also participates in DNA damage repair and plays a core role in maintaining genomic stability. Its dysfunction can lead to chromosomal instability, thereby promoting tumorigenesis. In recent years, pan-cancer analyses have shown that HJURP is abnormally highly expressed in various cancers (such as lung cancer,breast cancer,liver cancer,etc.) and is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients.Due to its key role in multiple cancers,HJURP is considered a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target. This review systematically elaborates on the molecular structure and core biological functions of HJURP, and focuses on summarizing the latest research progress on how HJURP promotes malignant tumor progression through multiple mechanisms such as driving the cell cycle, promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition, inhibiting ferroptosis, remodeling the tumor immune microenvironment, and inducing therapeutic resistance. It also deeply explores the clinical translation prospects and challenges of HJURP as a prognostic biomarker and a novel therapeutic target,aiming to provide a critical theoretical basis for the development of cross-cancer precision therapeutic strategies.
