CDC20 maintains tumor initiating cells
Glioblastoma is the most prevalent and lethal primary intrinsic brain tumor. Glioblastoma displays hierarchical arrangement with a population of self-renewing and tumorigenic glioma tumor initiating cells (TICs), or cancer stem cells. While non-neoplastic neural stem cells are generally quiescent, glioblastoma TICs are often proliferative with mitotic control offering a potential point of fragi...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of tumor cells in terms of cancer-initiating cells
Tumors derive from a single cell clone but consist of heterogeneous cell subpopulations with diverse features and functions. A limited number of subclones with a selective advantage can initiate tumors when inoculated into immunocompromised mice, and are called cancer-initiating cells (CICs). CICs can be isolated from the bulk of tumors on the basis of their characteristics, such as high reagen...
متن کاملAptamer identification of brain tumor-initiating cells.
Glioblastomas display cellular hierarchies with self-renewing tumor-initiating cells (TIC), also known as cancer stem cells, at the apex. Although the TIC hypothesis remains controversial and the functional assays to define the TIC phenotype are evolving, we and others have shown that TICs may contribute to therapeutic resistance, tumor spread, and angiogenesis. The identification of TICs has b...
متن کاملMatrix regulation of tumor-initiating cells.
The recognition that the progression of many tumors may be driven by specific subpopulations of cells with stem/progenitor-like properties (tumor-initiating cells or TICs, a.k.a. cancer stem cells) represents an important recent paradigm shift in cancer biology and therapeutics. TICs in solid tissues are expected to interface with the extracellular matrix (ECM), which can strongly influence cel...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of hepatic tumor-initiating cells.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most lethal cancer and resistant to common chemotherapy. Tumor-initiating cells (T-ICs) that are thought to be responsible for tumorigenesis share surface markers and signaling pathways similar to normal tissue stem cells. Identification of T-ICs and elucidation of aberrant epigenetic modulation and self-renewal pathways may provide new insights into ...
