背景情况:

尤文肉瘤 (ES) 是一种小儿癌症,转移性疾病的结果不佳.
神经Y (NPY) 和它的Y5受体 (Y5R) 在ES瘤中构成性表达,导致血清NPY水平升高.
在动物模型中,NPY分泌的异种移植显示出肺外转移,这是ES患者的不良预后指标.

研究的目的:

调查NPY/Y5R轴在ES的肺外传播中的作用.
阐明NPY/Y5R信号对ES细胞运动和转移有所贡献的分子机制.

主要方法:

使用可诱导多西环素的CRISPR/Cas9系统在ES异种移植中淘汰Y5R.
在体内分析了异质原发性瘤的转移发作.
进行了体外测试,以评估ES细胞运动性和RhoA激活.
在ES细胞系中研究了NPY/Y5R轴的自身蛋白和副蛋白作用.

主要成果:

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle

Mitogens and the Cell Cycle

Mitogens and their receptors play a crucial role in controlling the progression of the cell cycle. However, the loss of mitogenic control over cell division leads to tumor formation. Therefore, mitogens and mitogen receptors play an important role in cancer research. For instance, the epidermal growth factor (EGF) - a type of mitogen and its transmembrane receptor (EGFR), decides the fate of the cell's proliferation. When EGF binds to EGFR, a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase...
