摘要
肿瘤干细胞(CSCs)对细胞毒性药物具有先天性的抵抗能力,与肿瘤细胞的运动性,侵袭性和抗凋亡能力密切相关。上皮/间质转化(EMT)是指在各种因素作用下上皮细胞转变为具有高侵袭、转移能力间质表型的过程,与CSCs关系密切。笔者就CSCs的EMT现象与肿瘤转移,CSCs定植和趋化作用与转移瘤形成,CSCs与临床治疗的关系研究进展作一综述。
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are endowed with an inherent resistance to cytotoxic drugs, and are closely related to the migration, invasiveness and anti-apoptotic ability of the cancer cells. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process where epithelial ceils acquire the highly invasive and metastatic characteristics of mesenchymal cells, and it has a close connection with CSCs. In this paper' the authors address the recent progress in relationship between the EMT status of CSCs and tumor metastasis, and between the localization and chemotaxis of CSCs and the formation of the metastatic colonies, as well as the relation of CSCs with the therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.
