Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis is driven by phenotypic plasticity beyond classic epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), including non-canonical lineages such as squamous-like phenotypes. Their regulatory mechanisms and clinical significance remain unclear. In the current issue of Nature, Cammareri et al. identified ATRX loss as a driver of multilineage plasticity, including squamous-like characteristics, linked to increased metastasis and poor clinical outcomes in CRC.

ATRX缺失诱导谱系可塑性和鳞状样表型，促进结直肠癌转移。

结直肠癌（CRC）的转移是由典型上皮-间质转化（EMT）以外的表型可塑性驱动的，包括非典型谱系，如鳞状样表型。其调控机制和临床意义尚不清楚。在最新一期的《自然》杂志上，Cammareri等人发现ATRX缺失是多谱系可塑性的驱动因素，包括鳞状样特征，与CRC转移增加和临床预后差有关。
