| Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) is one of the main subtypes of nAChRs that modulates various cancer-related properties including proliferative, anti-apoptotic, pro-angiogenic and pro-metastatic activities in most of the cancers. It also plays a crucial role in inflammation control through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway in numerous pathophysiological contexts. Such diverse physiological and pathological functions that initiate from this receptor may have significant impacts in determining the outcome of different cancers. Various tissues of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers such as gastric, colorectal, pancreatic and liver cancers have shown the upregulated expression of α7nAChR as compared to normal adjacent tissues. According to the well-established connection between inflammation and tumorigenesis in the digestive system, there are mounting studies demonstrated either stimulatory or inhibitory effects of α7nAChR signaling in the development of GI cancers. To date, the precise underlying mechanisms related to this receptor in patients with GI cancers have not been fully elucidated. Regarding the paradoxical modulatory effects of this receptor in carcinogenesis, in this review, we aim to summarize the accumulated evidence about the involvement of α7nAChR in inflammation-associated GI cancers. It seems that the complex influences of α7nAChR may be a promising target in designing novel strategies in the treatment of such pathologic conditions. |
