Role of mesenchymal stem cells in growth and progression of cancer and prospective potentials in cancer therapy
Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are present in most tissues of the body. These cells are involved in various biological processes, such as maintaining tissue homeostasis and wound healing. Recent studies have shown that tumor associated MSCs (TA-MSCs) are also present in tumor microenvironment (TME) of most solid tumors. MSCs have a strong tendency to migration toward tumor tissues....
متن کاملسلولهای بنیادی پرتوان القایی از تولید تا کاربرد: مقاله مروری
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells which have the ability to indefinitely self-renew and differentiate into all differentiated cells of the body. Regarding their two main properties (unlimited self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation), these cells have various biomedical applications in basic research and cell based therapy. Because the transplantation of differentiated cells...
متن کاملCancer stem cells: therapeutic targets
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. This minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. Low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...
متن کاملEvaluation of Changes in Global DNA Methylation during Osteoblastic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells: A Laboratory Study
Background and Objectives: Control processes in osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells are not yet fully understood. Epigenetic mechanisms, especially the methylation of CpG Islands in the promoter of genes, are considered as one of the most important control mechanisms in stem cell differentiation. In the process of differentiation, it is debated whether only the methylation of...
متن کاملA 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...
