摘要: 上皮-间质转化(EMT)是肝细胞癌(HCC)侵袭转移和耐药的重要机制。波形蛋白(VIM)作为EMT的标志性分子,参与调控EMT和形成间质表型肿瘤干细胞;以及VIM甲基化和外泌体直接或间接分泌VIM,促进HCC侵袭增殖、化疗耐药以及复发转移。另外,VIM结合甲胎蛋白(AFP)诊断HCC时特异性和灵敏度显著提高,其表达与HCC预后不良密切相关。

关键词: 波形蛋白, 肿瘤干细胞, VIM甲基化, 外泌体

Abstract: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical mechanism related to invasion, metastasis and drug resistance. Vimentin(VIM), as the biomarker of EMT, functions in regulating EMT and forms epithelial-like cancer stem cells and itself methylation, and exosomes excrete VIM directly or indirectly, which leads to invasiveness and proliferation, chemotherapy resistance and postoperative recurrence of HCC. Importantly, combine detection of circulating VIM and AFP level in patients' serum samples, significantly improved the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of HCC, and predict poor prognosis.

Key words: vimentin, cancer stem cells, VIM methylation, exosomes
