骨について
科学分野:
- 腫瘍学
- 骨の生物学
- がん の 侵攻
背景:
- 骨を覆う細胞層である骨は,感染,傷害,または悪性腫瘍の間に新しい成長 (骨反応) を表します.
- 周辺骨の反応のメカニズムと生理学的役割は,ほとんど不明である.
研究 の 目的:
- 骨周反応が癌の侵入を防ぐ役割について調査する.
- 腫瘍への反応として骨周の厚み化の原因となる分子メカニズムを解明する.
主な方法:
- 人間の頭と首の状細胞癌 (HNSCC) 病変の組織学的分析.
- HNSCCの遺伝子解析可能なマウスモデルの開発.
- 骨周における遺伝子発現変化を分析するための単細胞RNA配列解析.
主要な成果:
- 人間のHNSCCのサンプルでは,腫瘍の近くで周骨の加厚が観察されました.
- ネズミの骨周細胞の枯渇は 癌の骨への侵入を加速した.
- HIF1αによって調節されるTIMP1の発現は,骨周部で増加し,プロテアゼを阻害し,加厚を促進します.
- Timp1の遺伝的消去は,骨周の膨張を阻害し,骨の侵入を悪化させ,腫瘍を持つマウスの生存率を低下させた.
結論:
- 骨周辺の反応は,癌が骨に侵入するのを防ぐための保護性ストロマ・バリアとして作用します.
- TIMP1によって媒介される周骨の加厚は,ストロマ細胞を含む新しい形態の組織免疫を表しています.
- このメカニズムを理解することで 骨を侵襲する癌の治療に 新たな戦略が生まれます

The Tumor Microenvironment
6.6K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Cancer Stem Cells and Tumor Maintenance
4.9K
Early diagnosis and treatment can often cure cancer. However, even with treatment, residual cells called cancer stem cells (CSC) might remain, often causing tumor recurrence. These cancer stem cells possess the potential for self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation and are often responsible for the therapeutic resistance displayed in most cancers.
Cancer stem cells are thought to originate from tissue-specific normal stem cells or progenitor cells. The normal stem cells usually reside in...

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells
4.7K
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that can differentiate into most connective tissue cell types, except for hematopoietic cells, depending upon the source of MSCs. For example, bone-marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into osteocytes, hepatocytes, and pancreatic and neuronal cells. MSCs can be isolated from various sources such as bone marrow, placenta, adipose tissue, teeth, and Wharton’s jelly, a gelatinous substance in the umbilical cord. The ease of their...

Bone Cells and Tissue
4.4K
Bones contain a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of organic and inorganic components. Although bone cells compose only a small amount of the bone volume, they are crucial to its function. Four types of cells are found within the bone tissue— osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells, and osteoclasts.
Osteoblasts and Osteocytes
The osteoblast is the bone cell responsible for forming new bone tissue. It is found in the growing portions of bone, including the...

Cancer Cell Migration through Invadopodia
2.3K
Invadosome is a broad category of cell surface structures with proteolytic activity that degrades the extracellular matrix (ECM). Invadosomes are present in normal cell types, including macrophages, endothelial cells, and neurons, as well as tumor cells. Although the macrophage podosomes and tumor cell invadopodia are classified as invadosomes, they have different structures, molecular pathways, and functions. Podosomes are short structures that last for a few minutes. However,...
