- 癌症转移 癌症转移
背景情况:
- 表皮卵巢癌 (EOC) 是一种致命的恶性瘤,其特点是独特的转移性行为.
- 在EOC转移中,瘤休眠与非增殖状态,缺氧核和球状体瘤信号减少有关.
研究的目的:
- 在转移过程中研究EOC细胞的不同代谢状态,特别关注附着,球状和重新附着的阶段.
- 确定促进EOC转移的新代谢途径.
主要方法:
- 在不同转移阶段 (附着,球形,重新附着) 的EOC细胞的代谢概况.
- 使用同位素代谢流量分析验证 (例如,用13C标记的葡萄糖和谷氨酸).
- 线粒体功能测定,包括蛋白质丰度和呼吸能力的评估.

Adaptive Mechanisms in Cancer Cells
5.7K
Cancer cells accumulate genetic changes at an abnormally rapid rate due to the defects in the DNA repair mechanisms. From an evolutionary perspective, such genetic instability is advantageous for cancer development. Mutant cell lines accumulate a series of beneficial mutations that contribute to their progression into cancer.
Some of the advantages that cancer cells have on normal cells include - enhanced ability to divide without terminally differentiating, induce new blood vessel formation,...

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...
