最近,两个新的概念出现在肿瘤生物学中:上皮间质转化(epitheilal-mesenchymal transition,EMT)和肿瘤干细胞(cancer stem cells,CSCs)。EMT不仅赋予细胞迁移和侵袭特征,还可使肿瘤细胞获得自我更新能力而具有干细胞的特性,从而促进CSCs的产生。本文讨论EMT和CSCs之间的联系、EMT获得干细胞特征促进CSCs产生、EMT是形成CSCs的重要环节及二者在干细胞巢中的转化,并分析影响EMT和CSCs的因素。研究EMT在肿瘤发生中的作用,与CSCs理论相融合,从而可能发现新的肿瘤靶向治疗。 相似文献

目前越来越多的研究显示上皮间质转化(EMT)参与了肿瘤干细胞的形成以及肿瘤细胞的浸润、迁移和转移,不仅增强了癌细胞的侵袭和转移能力,还可使细胞获得自我更新等干细胞特性,促进肿瘤干细胞的产生.因此,研究EMT与常见干细胞之间的关系对于寻找控制肿瘤侵袭和转移的有效途径有非常重要的意义,亦可为肿瘤的治疗提供新的靶点. 相似文献

[摘要] 糖基化是生物体内蛋白质的基本修饰方式之一,通过影响蛋白质的折叠、运输和定位,从而参与人体多种生物学功能的调节。研究表明,异常糖基化修饰参与生物体内多种病理生理过程,包括恶性肿瘤和一些炎症性疾病,尤其与肿瘤的转移和侵袭密切相关。而上皮间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)指上皮细胞失去紧密连接转化为间质的复杂过程,是肿瘤转移的重要机制之一。本文主要对蛋白质糖。 相似文献

Ovarian cancer has the worst prognosis among all types of gynecological malignancies and patients are often diagnosed at an advanced stage with distant metastasis. In the present study, it was found that emodin, a small molecular chemical drug derived from natural plants, has antitumor effects on ovarian cancer cells. Emodin induced cytotoxicity and inhibited proliferation in the ovarian cancer cell lines, SK-OV-3, A2780 and PA-1. In addition, emodin inhibited the migration and invasion abilities of the ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which was evidenced by the downregulation of N-cadherin and vimentin, and the upregulation of E-cadherin protein expression levels. When a subcutaneous xenograft SK-OV-3 tumor mouse model was used, emodin notably reduced the tumor growth rate and inhibited tumor cell proliferation. Furthermore, mechanical analysis revealed that emodin markedly inhibited EMT and reduced the stemness of tumor cells, which was evidenced by the decrease in the protein expression of CD133 and Oct4. Pulmonary metastasis of the ovarian cancer cells was significantly suppressed in the tumor mouse model by the administration of emodin. In addition, flow cytometry analysis indicated that emodin significantly reduced the proportion of ovarian cancer stem-like cells in metastatic lung tissues. In conclusion, emodin, a potent inhibitor of EMT, could serve as a potential candidate for ovarian cancer therapy. 相似文献

Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells may be a powerful tool in regenerative medicine, but their potential tumorigenicity is a significant challenge for the clinical use of iPS cells. Previously, we succeeded in converting miPS cells into cancer stem cells (CSCs) under the conditions of tumor microenvironment. Both stem cells and tumor cells are profoundly influenced by bi-directional communication with their respective microenvironment, which dictates cell fate determination and behavior. The microenvironment derived from iPS cells has not been well studied. In this paper, we have investigated the effects of secreted factors from Nanog-mouse iPS (miPS) cells on mouse Lewis lung cancer (LLC) cells that are found in the conditioned media. The results demonstrated that miPS cells secrete factors that can convert the epithelia phenotype of LLC cells to a mesenchymal phenotype, and that can promote tumorigenisity, migration and invasion. Furthermore, LLC cells that have been exposed to miPS conditioned medium became resistant to apoptosis. These various biological effects suggest that the miPS microenvironment contain factors that can promote an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through an active Snail-MMP axis or by suppressing differentiation in LLC cells. 相似文献

在肿瘤细胞干性的获得和维持方面,肿瘤微环境扮演着十分重要的角色。作为其中数量最多的基质细胞,癌症相关成纤维细胞(cancer-associated fibroblasts,CAFs)可通过旁分泌信号和改变基质硬度的方式,诱导邻近的肿瘤细胞发生上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT),使上皮来源细胞部分或完全地获得间充质表型。当细胞处于EMT进程中的某个过渡阶段时,即可被诱导表达干细胞表型,促进肿瘤的发生与进展。本文主要回顾了CAFs、EMT和肿瘤细胞干性相互之间的关系以及相关分子机制的研究,并尝试论述CAFs诱导肿瘤细胞的EMT增强其细胞干性。 相似文献
