Tumor and Stem Cell Biology Distinct Subpopulations of Head and Neck Cancer Cells withDifferent Levelsof IntracellularReactiveOxygenSpecies Exhibit Diverse Stemness, Proliferation, and Chemosensitivity

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is driven by cancer-initiating cells (CIC), but their maintenance mechanisms are obscure. For hematopoietic stem cells, low levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) is known to help sustain stemness properties. In this report, we evaluated the hypothesis that ROS character conferred CIC properties in HNSCC. Sphere cultures define CIC in...

O-21: Differential Expression and Epigenetic Pattern of HOX Family Genes in Cumulus Cells of Mature MII Oocytes from Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background Ovarian tissue cryopreservation represents a promising strategy to preserve the ovarian function in cancer patients. It is usually performed by slow freezing/rapid thawing (SF/RT). Recent studies emphasize an ultrarapid cryopreservation procedure, vitrification/warming (V/W), since it might prevent damages due to ice crystal formation. Comparative studies between the cryopreservation...

Anti-oxidant and Selective Anti-proliferative Effects of the Total Cornicabra Olive Polyphenols on Human Gastric MKN45 Cells

Background: According to the epidemiological studies, consuming olive products can decrease the incidence of the different types of cancers mostly due to the high anti-oxidant properties of their polyphenolic compounds. Objectives: To evaluate the anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative potentials of the olive fruits total polyphenols on the gastric adenocarc...

Cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of melatonin hormone on NB4 leukemic cells

Introduction: Given to the fact that the high toxicity and side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs have limited their clinical use, it is not surprising that novel therapeutic drugs with less toxicity and more efficacy have entered into the novel protocols. Relatively, Melatonin, a main product of pineal gland, not only plays a key role in the regulation of circadian rhythm, but also exerts anti...

Activation of microRNA-494-targeting Bmi1 and ADAM10 by silibinin ablates cancer stemness and predicts favourable prognostic value in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas

Tumor initiating cells (TICs) possessing cancer stemness were shown to be enriched after therapy, resulting in the relapse and metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNC). An effective therapeutic approach suppressing the HNC-TICs would be a potential method to improve the treatments for HNC. We observed that the treatment of silibinin (SB) dose dependently down-regulated the ALD...
