被称为“癌症之王”的肝癌复发率高,其主要原因就是人体内的正常细胞斗不过癌细胞。为何斗不过?一直是个谜。记者从武汉协和医院获悉,华中科技大学同济医学院附属协和医院院长王国斌教授研究组与美国密歇根大学教授邹伟平历经3年研究,在全球率先发现其中机理,成果文章已发表在国际著名学术期刊《肝脏病学》上。据了解,在人体正常免疫状态下,肝脏组织中一种吞噬细菌的细胞——枯否细胞,可不断激活一种免疫细胞——T细胞,来杀死肝癌细胞。通俗来讲,就好比一把手枪(枯否细胞)射出子弹(T细胞),击中目标(肝癌细胞)。然而,肝癌患者体内这 Known as the “king of cancer,” the recurrence rate of liver cancer is high, the main reason is that the body’s normal cells do not fight cancer cells. Why fight? However, it has always been a mystery. Reporters learned from Wuhan Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tongji Medical College Affiliated Union Hospital, Professor Wang Guobin Group and the University of Michigan professor Zou Weiping after 3 years of research, first in the world to discover the mechanism, the results of the article has been published in the international well-known academic journal “ Hepatology ”on. It is understood that in normal human immune state, a phagocytic bacteria in the liver cells - Kupffer cells, can continue to activate an immune cell - T cells to kill liver cancer cells. In a nutshell, it’s like a pistol (KP) shooting a bullet (T cell) that hits a target (a liver cell). However, liver cancer patients in vivo
