摘要
已经有许多证据表明,多种类型的胶质瘤组织中存在一小群具有干细胞特性的细胞,称为胶质瘤干细胞(glioma stem cells,GSCs)。它与胶质瘤的发生发展密切相关,并由此提出了GSCs假设。但随着研究的深入,在深层次问题上出现了争议,并由此产生了一些新的观点。本文结合笔者的工作谈一些看法。
There are evidences that in many gliomas, a minority cell population with stem cell properties (glioma stem cells, GSCs) is responsible for the maintenance and growth of the tumor. But there are lots of controversies among the details of glioma stem cell hypothesis. In this perspective article we will summarize the others and ours experimental evidence that illustrates the characteristics of GSCs and discuss its implications for future gliomas research.
