β2-microglobulin(β2-m), a MHC class Ⅰ subunit, is found to act similarly to a prototypical oncogenic factor capable of stimulating growth and progression of various cancers and plays a key regulatory role in stimulating cancer bone metastasis. Free β2-m in serum or urine has been regarded as an independent biomarker in several cancers. Specific anti-β2-m neutralizing antibodies have remarkable tumoricidal activity for both solid tumors and hematological malignancies and are shown to be selective towards cancer cells, but cause no toxicity in normal cells. These surprising results strongly suggest that β2-m is a promising new therapeutic target for the treatment of human cancers. In this communication, we review the molecular mechanisms of the β2-m signalling pathway involved in regulating the cancer cell growth and focus on the experimental evidence that associates β2-m with cancer bone metastasis.
