概括
转移性乳腺癌会改变远处的组织,影响瘤细胞的行为,例如上皮细胞转移到介质细胞转移 (EMT). 一个新的支架模仿这些变化,在没有器官活检的情况下预测转移潜力.
科学领域:
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 癌症生物学 癌症生物学
- 微环境研究 微环境研究
背景情况:
- 转移显著恶化癌症的预后.
- 瘤细胞转移取决于内在细胞特征和远程组织条件.
- 了解一次性瘤对转移部位的系统性影响至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究由人类乳腺癌细胞系引起的远处组织的系统性改变.
- 确定这些组织改变对瘤细胞表型的影响.
- 评估可植入的支架作为肺组织的替代品,以评估系统性变化和转移潜力.
主要方法:
- 利用了三个人类乳腺癌细胞系 (MDA-MB-231,MCF7,T47) 来研究肺组织的变化.
- 分析了瘤细胞表型的变化,包括表皮细胞转变为介质细胞转变 (EMT),增殖,迁移和衰老.
- 采用可植入的支架作为肺组织的替代品,以评估瘤诱导的全身影响.
主要成果:
- 乳腺癌细胞系显著改变了肺部的微环境.
- 肺部的微环境诱导了不同程度的EMT,减少了增殖,增加了超内皮迁移,以及瘤细胞的衰老.
- 可植入的支架是由初级瘤形成的,类似于肺部,促进了亲EMT的形象.
- 支架条件区分了不同乳腺癌细胞系的转移潜力.
结论:
- 转移性和非转移性乳腺癌不同地影响远处的组织,影响瘤细胞的反应.
- 代理组织支架可以预测乳腺癌细胞系的转移潜力.
- 这种方法提供了一种评估转移潜力的方法,而不需要对重要器官进行侵入性活检.

Metastasis
5.5K
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...

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...
