Abstract: Malignant tumor has become the largest disease threatening human health.The global incidence of cancer is increasing year by year.At present,the poor quality of life and drug resistance of patients with advanced and recurrent cancer are becoming increasingly obvious.Reducing the invasion and metastasis of tumor,improving the survival and prognosis of tumor patients,are urgent problems to be solved in tumor treatment.Agrin is a membrane protein associated with synaptic formation,and recent studies have shown that Agrin plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumors.Agrin is expressed in malignant tumors and immune cells,playing an important regulatory role in tumor angiogenesis,cell proliferation and migration,chemotherapy resistance,and neutrophil infiltration.This article summarizes and analyzes the current research status of Agrin,especially its related role and mechanism in the occurrence and development of malignant tumors.

Key words: Agrin, Malignant tumor, Signaling pathway
