MicroRNA Regulation of Cancer Stem Cell Phenotypes
Metastatic dissemination of disease, the emergence of resistance to therapy and ultimately relapse of the disease state are the primary cause of treatment failure among cancer patients [1-3]. In recent years, it has become apparent that a subpopulation of tumor cells is primarily responsible for driving tumor progression and resistance to therapy in some cancers [4,5]. These cells, termed Cance...
متن کاملLong Noncoding RNA MALAT-1 Enhances Stem Cell-Like Phenotypes in Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a vital role in tumor initiation, progression, metastasis, chemoresistance, and recurrence. The mechanisms that maintain the stemness of these cells remain largely unknown. Our previous study indicated that MALAT-1 may serve as an oncogenic long noncoding RNA in pancreatic cancer by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and regulating CSCs markers expre...
متن کاملRegulation of breast cancer stem cell features
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are rare, tumour-initiating cells that exhibit stem cell properties: capacity of self-renewal, pluripotency, highly tumorigenic potential, and resistance to therapy. Cancer stem cells have been characterised and isolated from many cancers, including breast cancer. Developmental pathways, such as the Wnt/β-catenin, Notch/γ-secretase/Jagged, Shh (sonic hedgehog), and BMP ...
متن کاملA basal stem cell signature identifies aggressive prostate cancer phenotypes.
Evidence from numerous cancers suggests that increased aggressiveness is accompanied by up-regulation of signaling pathways and acquisition of properties common to stem cells. It is unclear if different subtypes of late-stage cancer vary in stemness properties and whether or not these subtypes are transcriptionally similar to normal tissue stem cells. We report a gene signature specific for hum...
متن کاملStem-cell driven cancer: "hands-off" regulation of cancer development.
A cancer dogma states that inactivation of oncogene(s) can cause cancer remission, implying that oncogenes are the Achilles' heel of cancers. This current "hands on" model of cancer has kept oncogenes firmly in focus as therapeutic targets and is in agreement with the fact that in human cancers all cancerous cells, with independence of the cellular heterogeneity existing within the tumor, carry...
