Targeting leukemic stem cells with multifunctional bioactive polypeptide nanoparticles.
10.2217/FON.15.31 © 2015 Future Medicine Ltd RNA interference (RNAi) using synthetic small interfering RNA (siRNA) is being explored as a potential therapeutic strategy in oncology for silencing the expression of specific mRNA species that have been linked to chemotherapy resistance of cancer cells [1–9]. Systemically administered unformulated siRNA lack RNAi activity in vivo due to rapid enzym...
متن کاملSeed dormancy-breaking and germination requirements of
Dormancy breaking and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of Ferula ovina and Ferula gummosa. Seeds of rather species were collected from north and eastern-north rangelands of Iran. Seeds of each of the species were subjected to different treatments including various levels of GA3, chilling and combination of GA3 and chilling (GA-chilling). In contrast to treated seeds, non-trea...
متن کاملDormancy activation mechanism of tracheal stem cells
Accurate markers and molecular mechanisms of stem cell dormancy and activation are poorly understood. In this study, the anti-cancer drug, 5-fluorouracil, was used to selectively kill proliferating cells of human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cell line. This method can enrich and purify stem cell population. The dormant versus active status of stem cells was determined by phosphorylation of RNAp I...
متن کاملCancer stem cells, tumor dormancy, and metastasis
Tumor cells can persist undetectably for an extended period of time in primary tumors and in disseminated cancer cells. Very little is known about why and how these tumors persist for extended periods of time and then evolve to malignancy. The discovery of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in human tumors challenges our current understanding of tumor recurrence, drug resistance, and metastasis, and open...
متن کاملLung Cancer Stem Cells and Their Therapeutic Targeting
Lung cancer is responsible for causing more than 1 million deaths worldwide each year making it the most common cancer in humans. It has now been established that lung cancers contain a subpopulation of cancer cells, responsible for tumor initiation, propagation, and metastasis, termed as cancer stem cells (CSCs). However, this stem cell population in lung cancers remains poorly characterized. ...
