چکیده

Methods CSCs were isolated using the sphere-forming assay in serum-free medium under non-adherent conditions and characterized for the expression of mesenchymal stem cell markers (CD90, CD105, CD73) by flow cytometry. The chemosensitity of MNNG and CSCs to doxorubicin (DOX), cisplatin (CIS) and methotrexate (MTX) was evaluated using the MTT colorimetric assay after an incubation period of 48h. Cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry with propidiun iodide.

سلول های بنیادی سرطانی: ناهمگونی در سلول‌های سرطانی و راهکارهای نانوتکنولوژی در درمان آن‌ها

Cancer stem cells are believed to be responsible for the cancer-initiating step and resistance to chemotherapy drugs. Studies have shown that cancer stem cells are silent and have no metabolic activity. The main reasons behind tumors resistant to therapies are lack of activity of cancer stem cells and division of cancer cells. This cell population, like normal stem cells, is capable of self-ren...

The Effect of Plant-derived Compounds in Targeting Cancer Stem Cells

Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cancer cells with self-renewal and differentiation ability. Furthermore, CSCs are resistant to chemoradiotherapy due to their high level of detoxifying enzymes, strong DNA repair abilities, and high drug efflux capacity. Objective Therefore, CSCs are supposed to account for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence, ...

Stem cells occur in many somatic tissues of multicellular organism and are important participants in their physiology. Stem cells have three distinctive properties: 1- self-renewal, 2- the potential to proliferate extensively and 3- capability to develop into multiple lineages. Every time a stem cell divides, it makes one exact copy and one progenitor cell. Progenitor cells have finite division...

A Glance into Cancer Stem Cells

The presence of stem cells in leukemia and solid tumors has been demonstrated in recent decades. Cancer stem cells have the potency of tumorigenesis; furthermore, they have the ability of self-renewing and differentiation like other stem cells. They also play important role in the process of tumor invasion and metastasis. Several studies have been performed to discover the spe...
