最近的研究表明问充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells,MSCs)与多种肿瘤的发生发展有密切关系.MSCs对多种肿瘤具有趋向性,外源性(局部混合注射或静脉注射)MSCs可参与肿瘤间质的形成,同时MSCs的免疫抑制作用可以促进肿瘤在体内的生长.通过细胞因子介导或直接的细胞接触,MSCs与多种肿瘤细胞之间存在相互作用.MSCs可以抑制肿瘤细胞的的凋亡,促进肿瘤细胞的增殖及肿瘤的转移.由于MSCs易于分离、体外扩增及进行基因修饰,因此可以利用MSCs对肿瘤的趋向性,使MSCs携带抗肿瘤基因来实现对肿瘤的靶向治疗. 相似文献

卵巢癌在妇科恶性肿瘤中致死率较高,早期难以发现,对化疗易耐药,而且易转移复发,5年存活率低于30%。TSCs学说认为卵巢癌易耐药、复发及转移,根源在于TSCs所致,只有针对TSCs进行特异性治疗,才能进一步提高对卵巢癌的治疗效果。本文就卵巢癌TSCs分离鉴定、靶向治疗的研究现状及其展望作一综述。 相似文献

肿瘤干细胞(cancerstem cells,CSCs)是在肿瘤组织中具有干细胞特性的细胞亚群,它具有正常干细胞的多向分化潜能,能够无限增值和自主分化为各种具有异质性的肿瘤细胞。CSCs在肿瘤的发生、生长、转移中起着重要作用。同时,CSCs对目前大多数治疗如化疗、放疗不敏感,甚至具有耐药性,这也就导致了恶性肿瘤在治疗后容易复发。鉴于此,针对肿瘤干细胞的治疗日益受到关注,光动力疗法(photodynamictherapy,PDT)由于其微创性,不良反应少,靶向性强等特点在肿瘤的治疗研究中不断得到发展。本文将从CSCs的特性入手,结合PDT治疗的最新进展,探讨PDT治疗在肿瘤干细胞治疗中的应用。 相似文献

干细胞是一种具有自我更新、无限增殖和多向分化能力的细胞.而多数肿瘤是由不同增殖潜能的不均一性细胞构成.随着对干细胞的研究不断深入,使人们对肿瘤的发生机制重新进行了审视,并在造血系统、脑、肺、乳腺等部位肿瘤中发现极少量的具有与干细胞非常类似生物学特性的细胞,称之为肿瘤干细胞,它们很可能是肿瘤细胞的起源.肿瘤干细胞的提出.使得靶向性杀伤肿瘤干细胞从而使根治肿瘤和防止肿瘤复发和转移成为可能.所以研究肿瘤干细胞的起源及其与肿瘤的发生关系,成为当前研究和治疗肿瘤领域的新热点.本文就肿瘤干细胞的存在证据、干细胞与肿瘤干细胞的异同点及它们与肿瘤发生之间的关系作简要的综述. 相似文献

肿瘤干细胞具有自我更新和可塑性的潜能,能够维持肿瘤生长和异质性的能力.肿瘤干细胞是肿瘤产生、转移、耐药和复发的根源,肿瘤干细胞学说逐渐被肿瘤研究者所接受,因此,对肿瘤干细胞的深入理解有重大的科学和临床意义.肿瘤干细胞的微环境是肿瘤微环境的组成部分,包括细胞-细胞接触、分泌型因子等.肿瘤非干细胞和肿瘤干细胞本身都可以作为肿瘤干细胞的微环境.肿瘤干细胞的微环境可以维持肿瘤干细胞的可塑性,保护肿瘤干细胞免受免疫系统攻击,也可以促进其转移.肿瘤干细胞对其微环境的塑造、肿瘤干细胞的微环境对肿瘤干细胞自我更新的影响,以及针对肿瘤干细胞微环境的靶向干预等问题,已成为肿瘤干细胞研究的前沿问题.本文就肿瘤干细胞的发现、自我更新维持机制、肿瘤干细胞的微环境,及其肿瘤干细胞及微环境的干预策略等研究进展进行了综述. 相似文献

目前,癌症是导致人类死亡的主要因素之一。尽管在癌症治疗方面取得了巨大进展,但是,其较高的复发率还是会导致死亡。连续治疗失败的一个可能原因是,残留的恶性细胞有类似干细胞的分化潜能,这样就能再次形成肿瘤和造成病灶转移。肿瘤干细胞(cancer stem cell,CSC)假说认为,肿瘤组织中存在具有自我跟新能力,无限增殖和肿瘤形成能力的一小部分肿瘤细胞,近年来,随着在血液肿瘤和实体瘤中相继发现CSC存在的相关证据,对CSC的生物学特性的认识不断深入,对肿瘤的复发、病灶转移、耐药性形成也有了新的观点和研究方向,目前的研究主要集中在其分离鉴定阶段,本文就近年来该方面的研究进展作一综述。 相似文献

Heterogeneity is an omnipresent feature of mammalian cells in vitro and in vivo. It has been recently realized that even mouse and human embryonic stem cells under the best culture conditions are heterogeneous containing pluripotent as well as partially committed cells. Somatic stem cells in adult organs are also heterogeneous, containing many subpopulations of self-renewing cells with distinct regenerative capacity. The differentiated progeny of adult stem cells also retain significant developmental plasticity that can be induced by a wide variety of experimental approaches. Like normal stem cells, recent data suggest that cancer stem cells (CSCs) similarly display significant phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, and that the CSC progeny can manifest diverse plasticity. Here, I discuss CSC heterogeneity and plasticity in the context of tumor development and progression, and by comparing with normal stem cell development. Appreciation of cancer cell plasticity entails a revision to the earlier concept that only the tumorigenic subset in the tumor needs to be targeted. By understanding the interrelationship between CSCs and their differentiated progeny, we can hope to develop better therapeutic regimens that can prevent the emergence of tumor cell variants that are able to found a new tumor and distant metastases. 相似文献

胚胎干细胞(embryonic stem cells,ESC)在人类遗传病学研究、疾病模型建立、器官再生以及动物物种改良和定向变异等方面的地位是其他类型的细胞不可取代的。但是,由于实验技术和体外培养条件的限制,除了小鼠、恒河猴和人之外,大鼠、猪、牛、羊等其他哺乳动物的ES细胞系被证明很难获得。先后有多个研究小组报道了他们利用新兴的诱导多能干细胞(induced pluripotent stem cells,iPS细胞)技术成功建立大鼠和猪的iPS细胞系的研究成果。迄今为止,这两个物种是在未成功建立ES细胞系之前利用iPS技术建立多能干细胞系的成功范例。这些研究对于那些还未建立ES细胞的物种建立多能干细胞系提供了一种新的方案,也将给这些物种的胚胎干细胞的建立、基因修饰动物的产生以及人类医疗事业的促进和发展带来新的希望。 相似文献

Experimental evidence suggest that breast tumors originate from breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), and that mitochondrial biogenesis is essential for the anchorage-independent clonal expansion and survival of CSCs, thus rendering mitochondria a significant target for novel treatment approaches. One of the recognized side effects of the FDA-approved drug, doxycycline is the inhibition of mitochondrial biogenesis. Here we investigate the mechanism by which doxycycline exerts its inhibitory effects on the properties of breast cancer cells and BCSCs, such as mammosphere forming efficiency, invasion, migration, apoptosis, the expression of stem cell markers and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related markers of breast cancer cells. In addition, we explored whether autophagy plays a role in the inhibitory effect of doxycycline on breast cancer cells. We find that doxycyline can inhibit the viability and proliferation of breast cancer cells and BCSCs, decrease mammosphere forming efficiency, migration and invasion, and EMT of breast cancer cells. Expression of stem cell factors Oct4, Sox2, Nanog and CD44 were also significantly downregulated after doxycycline treatment. Moreover, doxycycline could down-regulate the expression of the autophagy marker LC-3BI and LC-3BII, suggesting that inhibiting autophagy may be responsible in part for the observed effects on proliferation, EMT and stem cell markers. The potent inhibition of EMT and cancer stem-like characteristics in breast cancer cells by doxycycline treatment suggests that this drug can be repurposed as an anti-cancer drug in the treatment of breast cancer patients in the clinic. 相似文献

Beyond tumorigenesis: cancer stem cells in metastasis 总被引:38,自引:0,他引:38
The importance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumor-initiation has been firmly established in leukemia and recently reported for a variety of solid tumors. However, the role of CSCs in multistage cancer progression, particularly with respect to metastasis, has not been well-defined. Cancer metastasis requires the seeding and successful colonization of specialized CSCs at distant organs. The biology of normal stem cells and CSCs share remarkable similarities and may have important implications when applied to the study of cancer metastasis. Furthermore, overlapping sets of molecules and pathways have recently been identified to regulate both stem cell migration and cancer metastasis. These molecules constitute a complex network of cellular interactions that facilitate both the initiation of the pre-metastasis niche by the primary tumor and the formation of a nurturing organ microenvironment for migrating CSCs. In this review, we surveyed the recent advances in this dynamic field and propose a unified model of cancer progression in which CSCs assume a central role in both tumorigenesis and metastasis. Better understanding of CSCs as a fundamental component of the metastatic cascade will lead to novel therapeutic strategies against metastatic cancer. 相似文献
