New Role of Red Blood Cells in Absorption of DNA Bearing Tumorigenic Mutations from Lung Cancer Tissue

2021-01-24

Abstract excerpt

Red blood cells (RBC) are commonly assumed to be vehicles for oxygen, carbon dioxide, and cells’ metabolic byproducts. In this study, we investigated whether RBC may contain cancer-cell derived DNA and whether such cargo may be used as a biomarker for detecting cancer. Using an in vitro co-culture system, we showed that RBC could absorb DNA bearing tumorigenic mutations from cancer cell lines. Next, we demonstrate...
