Through a complex and self-reinforcing feedback mechanism, colorectal cancer cells create space for their own expansion by driving the death of surrounding healthy intestinal cells-while also promoting their own growth
For an organ or tissue to maintain a good functional state, on the one hand, it requires the balance of cell growth and differentiation, and on the other hand, the elimination of defective cells
Growth requires constant dynamic reorganization of tissue structure: defective cells must leave the tissue under the action of mechanical force
Zhou Jun, Erica Valentini and Michael Boutros from the German Cancer Research Center and Heidelberg University have now studied these processes in the intestinal epithelium of fruit flies.
First, tumor cells tear tissue structure by acting on cell adhesion
It is speculated that it may be due to the release of cytokines from dead intestinal cells, and the JAK/Stat signaling pathway that promotes growth in tumor cells is activated, leading to further tumor spread
The research team also found that the immune activator PGRP-LA is necessary in this process
