摘要
近期的干细胞研究提示门静脉癌栓（PVTT）可能与肝癌干细胞在门静脉微环境诱导下的定向转移有关，肝癌干细胞脱离原发病灶，外渗到细胞外基质，促进血管的生成或细胞内渗，从而进入循环系统，逃避宿主的防御机制，通过趋化作用迁移到特定的门静脉内皮黏附，归巢到特定的微环境，形成门静脉癌栓。
Recent studies about stem cells show that the formation of portal vein tumor thrombus （PVTT） is closely relative to the metastasis of liver cancer stem cells induced by portal vein microenvironment. Liver cancer stem cells first detach from the primary tumor, extravasate to extracellular matrix, stimulate angiogenesis or intravasate and migrate through the systemic circulation, evade host defense mechanisms, migrate to specific blood vessel sites through chemo-taxis and attach to blood vessel wall, then extravasate through blood vessel and home to specific microenvironment and to form PVTT.
