Objective(s):The colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs) with the CD133+ phenotype are a rare fraction of cancer cells with the ability of self-renewal, unlimited proliferation and resistance to treatment. Quercetin has anticancer effects with the advantage of exhibiting low side effects. Therefore, we evaluated the anticancer effects of quercetin and doxorubicin (Dox) in HT29 cancer cells and its ...

Background: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a crucial role in the initiation, progression, and recurrence of cancer. Evidence indicates that the high linear energy transfer (LET) carbon ion beam is more effective against CSCs than the conventional X-ray beam. Carbon ion radiotherapy is considered as a promising cancer strategy, however, information about whether, or not, new CSCs are induced...

increased fetal hemoglobin (hbf) in b-globin gene disorders ameliorates the clinical symptoms of the underlying disease. 5-azacytidine, butyrate and hydroxyurea, have been shown to activate g-globin gene expression. it has also been found that hematopoietic growth factors can influence expression of g-globin in erythroid cultures and in animal models. this study was designed to evaluate the in ...

Purpose of the study. Determine content cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumor tissue (TT) and perifocal tissues (PT) muscle-non-invasive bladder cancer. Materials methods. We’ve examined fragments TT PT 7 (NMIBC) after surgical intervention – transurethral resection urinary (TUR). In samples that were used to obtain cell suspension using BD Medimachine apparatus (BD, USA) was treated with monoclona...

Abstract The self-renewal transcription factor Nanog and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)–Akt pathway are known to be essential for maintenance of mesenchymal stem cells. We evaluated their contribution CD133(+) cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) spheroid-forming in patient-derived cell lines from three human sarcoma subtypes: HT1080 fibrosarcoma, SK-LMS-1 leiomyosarcoma, DDLS8817 dedifferentiat...

objective: despite of many benefits, umbilical cord blood (ucb) hematopoietic stem cell (hsc) transplantation is associated with low number of stem cells and slow engraftment; in particular of platelets. so, expanded hscs and co-transfusion of megakaryocyte (mk) progenitor cells can shorten this period. in this study, we evaluated the cytokine conditions for maximum expansion and mk differentia...

OBJECTIVE CD133 may be the most specific marker of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which are thought to be largely confined to the bone marrow milieu. This study reports on the phenotypic characterization and functional analysis of human CD133+ cells and their generation from cells in the peripheral circulation. METHODS Adult human CD133+ and CD133- cells were isolated from peripheral bl...

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in world and a leading cause death. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for tumor initiation. CSCs features include self-renewal capacity, differentiation, high invasion-migration, resistance to chemotherapy. characterized by specific surface markers. CD133 widely used as marker many cancers, including lung cancer. CD133-positive an important b...
