概括
瘤细胞外囊泡 (tEVs) 通过淋巴管传播,并被淋巴结中的CD169(+) 巨细胞阻断. 这种屏障的破坏促进了瘤的生长,使tEVs能够刺激B细胞.
科学领域:
- 免疫学
- 癌症生物学
- 细胞生物学
背景情况:
- 瘤衍生的细胞外囊 (tEV) 介导瘤和宿主细胞之间的通信.
- 内源性产生的tEV的系统效应在很大程度上是未知的.
- 了解TEV传播对于癌症研究和治疗至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究内源性黑色素瘤衍生的细胞外囊泡 (tEVs) 的传播和宿主作用.
- 阐明亚囊鼻 (SCS) CD169(+) 巨细胞在控制TEV传播中的作用.
- 确定tEVs如何影响瘤排水淋巴结 (tdLNs) 内的免疫反应.
主要方法:
- 结合体内成像和基因分析来追踪小鼠的黑色素瘤tEV.
- 在瘤排水淋巴结 (tdLNs) 中研究了tEV结合和局部化.
- 评估了tEVs对淋巴结皮质免疫细胞,特别是B细胞的影响.
主要成果:
- 内源性TEV通过淋巴血管有效传播.
- tEVs 首选结合在 tdLN 的亚囊鼻腔 (SCS) 中的 CD169 ((+) 大细胞.
- 由于瘤的进展或治疗,SCS巨细胞屏障的破坏使得tEVs进入淋巴结皮质,与B细胞相互作用,并促进瘤免疫力.
结论:
- 在SCS中的CD169 ((+) 巨细胞作为物理屏障,限制TEV的传播.
- 损伤的SCS巨细胞功能有助于TEV的传播,导致增强的瘤促进性免疫力.
- CD169 ((+) 巨细胞可以通过含有tEV和减轻增强癌症的免疫反应来作为瘤抑制剂.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells
5.9K
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...

The Tumor Microenvironment
8.1K
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...
