摘要:

文题释义:

文献计量学:是利用数学和统计学方法,对科学文献的各种特征(如作者、机构、期刊、引用关系、关键词等)进行分析,以揭示科学知识的结构、动态和发展趋势。
自然杀伤细胞:简称NK细胞,是一种先天性淋巴细胞,属于固有免疫系统的一部分。自然杀伤细胞具有识别并消灭病毒感染细胞、癌细胞以及外来细胞的能力。

摘要
背景:自然杀伤细胞(NK细胞)近年来在肿瘤的免疫治疗方面展现出较为可靠的临床应用前景,利用NK细胞治疗前列腺癌受到了越来越多的关注,但目前还没有对该领域进行文献计量学分析。
目的:利用Citespace和VOS viewer等软件对NK细胞治疗前列腺癌研究领域进行可视化分析。
方法:英文文献来自于Clarivate Analytics公司建设的Web of Science核心数据库和美国国家医学图书馆(NLM)所属的国家生物技术信息中心(NCBI)开发的PubMed数据库,通过CiteSpace、VOS viewer软件和Bibliometric网站对近10年来(2015-2025年)发表文章的年度分布、国家、作者、机构、期刊和关键词等进行可视化分析,探讨该研究领域的热点和趋势。
结果与结论:检索纳入研究文献684篇,总体发布趋势略显波动,大致呈增长趋势。根据统计结果,发文量最高的国家是美国;发文量位列第一的作者是纪念斯隆-凯特琳癌症中心的Chen Y,发文量为12篇;被引用次数位列第一的作者是齐尔卡神经遗传学研究所生理学与生物物理学系的Zhang L,引用次数为629次;发文量前3的机构分别是National Institutes of Health,Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center,University of California;前3位高频关键词为Expression,Tumor microenvironment,Activation。以上结果表明,近10年来NK细胞在前列腺癌治疗领域研究逐渐呈上升趋势。关键词、突现词分析可见NK细胞治疗前列腺癌领域的研究热点为提高NK细胞的增殖能力和细胞毒性、免疫细胞与NK细胞的相互作用、肿瘤微环境对NK细胞的抑制性作用。NK细胞对于前列腺癌治疗的研究方向从最初的NK细胞对肿瘤细胞的杀伤和抑制机制、提高NK细胞的增殖能力和细胞毒性,转向为通过调节基因表达提高NK细胞的免疫治疗作用和肿瘤微环境对NK细胞的免疫抑制作用,如何提高NK细胞的靶向性和杀伤效果是该领域的治疗重点。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Natural killer cells have shown promising clinical applications in tumor immunotherapy in recent years, and the use of natural killer cells for the treatment of prostate cancer has attracted increasing attention. However, there is currently a lack of bibliometric analysis in this field. 
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a visual analysis of the research field of natural killer cell therapy for prostate cancer using software such as CiteSpace and VOS viewer.
METHODS: The English documents are based on the Web of Science Core Collection database constructed by Clarivate Analytics and the PubMed database developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), which is affiliated with the National Library of Medicine (NLM). We performed a visual analysis of the annual distribution, countries, authors, institutions, journals, and keywords of articles published over the past 10 years (2015–2025) using CiteSpace, VOS viewer, and Bibliometric websites. This analysis aimed to investigate the hotspots and trends in this research field.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 684 eligible studies were included in the analysis. The overall publication trend showed slight fluctuations but generally increased. According to the statistical results, the United States had the highest number of English-language publications. The author with the highest number of publications was Chen Y from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, with a total of 12 articles. The author with the highest number of citations was Zhang L from the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, with a total of 629 citations. The top three institutions in terms of English-language publications were National Institutes of Health, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and University of California. The top three high-frequency keywords were Expression, Tumor microenvironment, and Activation. These results indicate that research on natural killer cells in the field of prostate cancer treatment has gradually increased over the past decade. Analysis of keywords and emerging terms reveals that the research hotspots in the field of natural killer cell therapy for prostate cancer are from enhancing the proliferation and cytotoxicity of natural killer cells, and the interactions between immune cells and natural killer cells to the inhibitory effects of the tumor microenvironment on natural killer cells. The research direction of natural killer cells in the treatment of prostate cancer has shifted from the initial killing and inhibitory mechanism of natural killer cells on tumor cells and enhancing the proliferation ability and cytotoxicity of natural killer cells to improving the immunotherapeutic effect of natural killer cells and the immunosuppressive effect of the tumor microenvironment on natural killer cells by regulating gene expression. How to improve the targeting and killing effects of natural killer cells is the treatment focus in this field.
