摘要: 目前越来越多的研究显示上皮间质转化(EMT)参与了肿瘤干细胞的形成以及肿瘤细胞的浸润、迁移和转移,不仅增强了癌细胞的侵袭和转移能力,还可使细胞获得自我更新等干细胞特性,促进肿瘤干细胞的产生。因此,研究EMT与常见干细胞之间的关系对于寻找控制肿瘤侵袭和转移的有效途径有非常重要的意义,亦可为肿瘤的治疗提供新的靶点。

Abstract: At present, more and more studies show that epithelialmesenchymal transition (EMT) is closely associated with cancer stem cell formation and tumor cell invasion, migration and metastasis. EMT not only enhances the capacity of cancer cell invasion and metastasis, but also makes the cell obtain self regeneration and other stem cell characteristics and promotes the production of cancer stem cells. As a result, the investigation of the relationship between EMT and common stem cells can be served as a new approach for searching for effective ways to control tumor invasion and metastasis. It also can provide new targets for the treatment of tumor.

Key words: Neoplastic stem cells, Neoplasm metastasis, Epithelialmesenchymal transition
