導讀:科學家發現一種類似于正常組織干細胞響應傷口的新機制,新機制或許可以解釋在化療藥物治療的多個周期后,為什么膀胱癌干細胞出現化療耐藥性。針對這個類似傷口響應的機制,有可能提供一種新的方法來治療癌癥。研究結果發表在Nature雜志上。治療晚期膀胱癌僅限于手術和化療,目前還沒有可用的有針對性的治療方法,通訊作者Keith Syson Chan說:化療反應很不理想,所以臨床上的目標是開發一個更具針對性的療法。
團隊找到了已侵入肌肉的膀胱癌化療耐藥潛在性的發展機制。他們發現在藥物治療周期之間,癌癥干細胞的再生積極促進耐化療治療。 癌癥干細胞積極重新生長,并響應不同化療治療周期所引起的損傷或細胞凋亡(細胞死亡),類似于組織干細胞如何正常響應傷口損傷。
瀕死的細胞釋放的代謝物(或因子)稱為前列腺素E2或PGE 2刺激增殖被從,這將導致癌癥干細胞重新填充化療縮小的腫瘤,他們發現。在正常細胞中,干細胞重生是傷口修復過程的一部分,即PGE 2誘導組織干細胞重新生長。在癌癥化療周期之間,PGE2卻誘導多種癌癥干細胞的再生。
化療有周期性,化療一段時間后就停治療,讓你的骨髓與正常干細胞從損傷中恢復,然后另一個治療周期重新開始。癌癥干細胞也在這段空檔期恢復, 瀕死癌癥細胞釋放PGE2。在老鼠身上進行的研究中,研究小組發現阻斷前列腺素E2能抑制癌癥干細胞再生。
重要的是,我們能夠使用已經獲得FDA的藥物,Kurtova說。 這將有助于我們快速啟動人體臨床試驗。該藥物是塞來昔布或Celebrex?,藥物最常用作用于關節炎的治療。(來源生物谷)

Cytotoxic chemotherapy is effective in debulking tumour masses initially; however, in some patients tumours become progressively unresponsive after multiple treatment cycles. Previous studies have demonstrated that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are selectively enriched after chemotherapy through enhanced survival1, 2, 3. Here we reveal a new mechanism by which bladder CSCs actively contribute to therapeutic resistance via an unexpected proliferative response to repopulate residual tumours between chemotherapy cycles, using human bladder cancer xenografts. Further analyses demonstrate the recruitment of a quiescent label-retaining pool of CSCs into cell division in response to chemotherapy-induced damages, similar to mobilization of normal stem cells during wound repair4, 5, 6, 7. While chemotherapy effectively induces apoptosis, associated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release paradoxically promotes neighbouring CSC repopulation. This repopulation can be abrogated by a PGE2-neutralizing antibody and celecoxib drug-mediated blockade of PGE2 signalling. In vivo administration of the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibitor celecoxib effectively abolishes a PGE2- and COX2-mediated wound response gene signature, and attenuates progressive manifestation of chemoresistance in xenograft tumours, including primary xenografts derived from a patient who was resistant to chemotherapy. Collectively, these findings uncover a new underlying mechanism that models the progressive development of clinical chemoresistance, and implicate an adjunctive therapy to enhance chemotherapeutic response of bladder urothelial carcinomas by abrogating early tumour repopulation.
