概括
乳腺癌转移中的免疫细胞组成因器官而异,而不是因转移部位而异. 肺转移显示出比肝转移更大的免疫透,影响免疫治疗策略.
科学领域:
- 免疫学 免疫学 免疫学
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 癌症转移 癌症转移
背景情况:
- 瘤的免疫微环境 (TME) 影响癌症转移和治疗反应.
- 以前的研究表明,转移性TME是免疫抑制的,但在多个转移性部位进行直接比较是具有挑战性的.
- 评估不同转移部位的免疫细胞组成对于了解癌症进展至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究和比较跨多个乳腺癌转移部位和配对无瘤组织的免疫细胞组成.
- 确定器官类型或转移部位是否决定了免疫微环境.

主要方法:
- 使用快速的死后组织采集协议进行全面的免疫分析.
- 采用流细胞计和多重体免疫光学用于免疫细胞密度和空间分析.
- 分析了乳腺癌转移中的免疫细胞组成,并对各种器官的无瘤组织进行了配对.
主要成果:

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...
