概括

与瘤相关的巨细胞 (TAM) 促进质母细胞 (GBM) 的干细胞入侵. 针对像TGFBI这样的TAM分泌因子,

科学领域:

神经瘤学
免疫学
癌症生物学

背景情况:

与瘤相关的巨细胞在质母细胞瘤 (GBM) 中积累,但它们在疾病进展中的确切作用尚不完全理解.
针对GBM的TAM的临床成功程度有限,这表明需要对巨细胞与质母细胞相互作用进行更深入的研究.

研究的目的:

研究TAMs在调节脑瘤干细胞 (GSC) 在脑瘤微环境 (TME) 中的功能作用.
确定特定的TAM分泌因素驱动GSC的攻击性和侵入性.

主要方法:

使用模拟GBM TME的3D水凝模型.
结合GBM患者样本的蛋白质组与单细胞转录组.
确定了TAM分泌蛋白在GSC转化中的作用.

主要成果:

M2极化巨细胞诱导了GSC中的介质细胞过渡,增加了它们的攻击性.
确定了几种具有潜在的侵袭性功能的TAM分泌蛋白质.
被称为BIGH3的TGF-β诱导被证实是促进瘤发生的关键TAM分泌因子.

结论:

TAMs显著影响了GSC的表型,推动了GBM的侵入性.
工程 TME 模型与多组学分析相结合,是研究细胞间交叉通话的强大工具.
针对TAM分泌的因素如TGFBI为质母细胞瘤提供了一个有前途的治疗途径.

The Tumor Microenvironment

The Tumor Microenvironment

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...
