Determination of the biological significances of platelet factor 4 (PF4), a tumor suppressor gene encoding an angiogenesis inhibitor in multiple myeloma.
多發性骨髓瘤(Multiple myeloma) 為骨髓內漿細胞異常增生的惡性腫瘤,到目前為止仍然難以治癒。其發生發展是一個複雜的多步驟事件,涉及腫瘤細胞中遺傳和表觀遺傳的改變,以及骨髓微環境的支持。現已確定骨髓瘤細胞和骨髓微環境之間的相互作用對於骨髓瘤的病理發生,以及骨髓瘤細胞的生長,遷移和抗藥性起著關鍵作用。血小根因子四(Platelet factor 4, or PF4) 是一種抗血管生成的趨化因子。它不僅在體外抑制血管內皮細胞增殖和遷移,而且在體內抑制腫瘤的生長。此前,我們發現PF4 基因在多發性骨髓瘤中等位缺失以及DNA 高度甲基化,因而導致其在骨髓瘤病人及細胞系中的表達缺失或降低。...
