Targeting cancer stem cells via dendritic-cell vaccination
Using syngeneic murine tumor models established in immunocompetent hosts, we showed that cancer stem cells are immunogenic and can be selectively targeted by dendritic cell-based vaccines. This new approach induced both humoral and cellular immune responses and conferred significantly superior antitumor immunity as compared with conventional vaccines.
متن کاملTargeting breast cancer stem cells by dendritic cell vaccination in humanized mice with breast tumor: preliminary results
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) is one of the leading cancers in women. Recent progress has enabled BC to be cured with high efficiency. However, late detection or metastatic disease often renders the disease untreatable. Additionally, relapse is the main cause of death in BC patients. Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are considered to cause the development of BC and are thought to be responsible...
متن کاملDendritic cell vaccines for cancer stem cells.
Accumulating evidence suggests that only a fraction of neoplastic cells, defined as cancer stem cells (CSC), are responsible for tumor perpetuation. Recent data suggest that neurospheres (NS) from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) are enriched in CSC. The characterization of this subpopulation of brain tumor cells with a potent tumorigenic activity supports the cancer stem cell hypothesis in solid ...
متن کاملNatural and herbal compounds targeting breast cancer, a review based on cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are known as the major reason for therapy resistance. Recently, natural herbal compounds are suggested to have a significant role in inhibiting the breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). The aim of this study was to explore the effective natural herbal compounds against BCSCs.This review article was designed based on the BCSCs, mechanisms of therapy resistance and natural he...
متن کاملSafely targeting cancer stem cells via selective catenin coactivator antagonism
Throughout our life, long-lived somatic stem cells (SSC) regenerate adult tissues both during homeostatic processes and repair after injury. The role of aberrant regulation of SSC has also recently gained prominence in the field of cancer research. Following malignant transformation, so termed cancer stem cells (CSC), endowed with the same properties as SSC (i.e. the ability to both self-renew ...
