摘要
The tumor stem cell theory supposed that tumor stem cells are the origin of tumor abnormal proliferation,invasion,metastasis,drug resistance and recurrence.As the theory is put forward,it redefines the functions of classic stem cells in tumorigenesis.It is a great event for recent studies on glioma initiating cells as brain tumor stem cells were identified and isolated successfully.A lot of evidence from experiments in vivo and in vitro demonstrates that brain tumor stem cells might play an important role in glioma tumorigenesis.In this review,we discuss the relationship between tumor stem cells and tumorigenesis,and the research on the correlation between brain tumor stem cells and glioma genesis.
The tumor stem cell theory supposed that tumor stem cells are the origin of tumor abnormal proliferation, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance and recurrence. As the theory is put forward, it redefines the functions of classic stem cells in tumorigenesis. It is a great event for recent studies on glioma initiating cells as brain tumor stem cells were identified and isolated successfully. A lot of evidence from experiments in vivo and in vitro demonstrates that brain tumor stem calls might play an important role in glioma tumorigenesis. In this review, we discuss the relationship between tumor stem cells and tumorigenesis, and the research on the correlation between brain tumor stem cells and glioma genesis.
