Macrophages facilitate tumour progression, but it is unclear whether this capability is influenced by tumour-initiating cells. Glioblastoma stem cells are now shown to secrete periostin, a matrix protein that recruits protumoral macrophages and enhances glioblastoma progression in mice.
巨噬细胞促进肿瘤进展,但目前尚不清楚这种能力是否受肿瘤起始细胞的影响。研究表明,神经胶质瘤干细胞会分泌一种细胞外基质蛋白——骨膜蛋白,这种蛋白可以募集促肿瘤巨噬细胞,增强小鼠神经胶质瘤的进展。
