The reciprocal interaction between cancer stem cells and their niche is important for oncogenesis and tumor progression, but the factors involved in this interrelationship remain largely unknown. We have recently demonstrated that osteopontin plays a crucial role in the crosstalk between CD44 colorectal cancer stem cells and tumor-associated macrophages.
癌症干细胞与其微环境之间的相互作用对肿瘤发生和肿瘤进展至关重要,但这种相互关系中涉及的因素仍大多未知。我们最近证明,骨桥蛋白在CD44结直肠癌干细胞与肿瘤相关巨噬细胞之间的相互作用中起关键作用。
