概括
扩散到腹膜的结肠直肠癌细胞通常来自瘤的边缘,而不是扩散到肝脏的细胞. 这表明腹转移期间的进化压力较轻.
科学领域:
- 进化生物学是进化的生物学.
- 癌症转移的转移.
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
背景情况:
- 人类癌症转移的细胞起源尚未完全理解.
- 确定转移是否来自随机瘤细胞扩散或专门特征是具有挑战性的.
- 需要大量采样来重建转移的进化史.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究结肠直肠癌的进化动态,腹转移.
- 评估腹转移是否源于原发性瘤细胞的随机或非随机子集.
- 为了比较细胞形成腹膜与肝转移的进化压力.
主要方法:
- 在26名患有腹膜转移的结直肠癌患者中采用了密集的多区域采样.
- 使用基于微卫星的指纹测试重建了进化史,平均每名患者的样本为28.8.
- 在初级瘤中评估了间和内转移异质性和空间起源.
主要成果:
- 腹膜转移表现出比肝转移更大的异质性,但比局部转移少.
- 用化疗治疗的超慢性腹转移显示出比同步,未经治疗的转移更高的多样性.
- 腹膜转移经常起源于主要瘤的深入侵边缘,与肝脏或淋巴结转移不同.
- 腹膜转移往往缺乏共同的亚克隆起源,而其他器官的远程转移.
结论:
- 腹膜转移过程与肝转移相比,对扩散的癌细胞施加的选择性压力较轻.
- 腹转移表现出明显的进化特征,包括特定的原发性瘤起源.
- 这些发现对结直肠癌的分期和治疗策略有潜在的影响.

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...

Selectins
3.3K
Cell adhesion is an essential aspect of multicellularity. While stable cell interactions usually occur between cells of the same type, transient cell interactions occur between cells of different tissue types, such as between neutrophils and endothelial cells. Selectins are one class of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that bind carbohydrate ligands to form transient cell adhesion. They are rod-like proteins with a long extracellular part of variable length ending with the lectin domain,...
