Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to cell sample storage device technical field, concretely relates to a flow cytometry sample storage device for anoikis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Anoikis is a special programmed cell death induced by cell detachment from extracellular matrix or adjacent cell contact. The process is triggered by mitochondrial disturbance to activate Bim and Fas / Fas-L mediated Caspase cascade, and its regulation involves integrin alphaVbeta3, EGFR, PI3K-AKT and other signaling pathways. In tumor metastasis, cancer cells acquire anoikis resistance through activation of ADAM10-p75NTR ICD-TRAF6-NF-kappa B, C / EBPbeta-PDGFB and other pathways, promoting peritoneal and ovarian metastasis. Studies have shown that this mechanism is closely related to the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer, breast cancer and other diseases, and the related molecular markers have clinical evaluation value.
