撰文丨王聪 编辑丨王多鱼 排版丨水成文 致癌突变在正常人体组织中普遍存在，人体内有着数万亿个细胞，致癌突变在这些正常细胞中突变存在， 然而，这些致癌突变通常并不会引起癌症，这也导致了癌症实际上并不常见。同样，在小鼠嵌合体中，携 带致癌突变的细胞能为成年组织提供正常细胞，而不会引发癌症。那些通过正常发育而避开癌症的细胞谱 系与少数最终罹患癌症的细胞谱系有何不同，目前尚不清楚。 2025 年 4 月 30 日，四川大学华西医院 陈大年 教授作为第一作者，联合多伦多大学西奈山医院 Rod Bremner 教授团队在国际顶尖学术期刊 Nature 上发表了题为： Cell cycle duration determines oncogenic transformation capacity 的研究论文 。 该研究发现， 细胞分裂周期在易患癌的细胞类型中更快，证实了细胞周期快是新发现的癌症易感性预测指 标。 肿瘤具有典型的癌症特征；因此，研究团队寻找了区分易患癌症的细胞谱系和抗性细胞谱系的特征。 在这项最新研究中，研究团队发现， 总细胞周期持续时间 （ Tc ） 可预测多种肿瘤类型的转化易感性。 易患癌症的 Rb 和 ...
