Quiescence represents a survival strategy adopted by cancer stem cells (CSCs) to resist harsh environmental conditions and cytotoxic insults. Recent studies show that quiescent CSCs are found in a low metabolic state in which they are exquisitely dependent on Bcl-2 or Bcl-XL, indicating new potential routes of clinical intervention.
静止状态是癌症干细胞(CSCs)采用的一种生存策略,用于抵抗恶劣的环境条件和细胞毒性损伤。最近的研究表明,静止的癌症干细胞处于低代谢状态,在这种状态下它们极度依赖Bcl-2或Bcl-XL,这表明了新的临床干预潜在途径。
