Abstract:
0.05).Tumor formation was found in subgroups of positive CXCR4 cells(7 ? 103 ).Negative and positive CXCR cells were inoculated into 3 mice respectively at the concentration of 5 ? 105 and 2 ? 104 cells.No metastasis occurred in the former group.However,lung metastasis was found in 2 mice and ear metastasis was observed in 1mouse of the latter group.Conclusion Subgroups of positive CXCR4 cells in LLC are characterized by certain properties of cancer metastatic stem cells and have the ability to renew themselves and metabolize.
