Emergence of CD26+ Cancer Stem Cells with Metastatic Properties in Colorectal Carcinogenesis
Colorectal cancer results from genetic aberrations which accumulate over a long period of time, with malignant and metastatic properties acquired at a relatively late stage. A subpopulation of CD26+ colorectal cancer stem cells are known to be implicated in metastasis. We quantified CD26+ cancer cells in 11 primary tumor samples by flow cytometry, and showed that tumors having confirmed or susp...
متن کاملCD44-positive cancer stem cells expressing cellular prion protein contribute to metastatic capacity in colorectal cancer.
Cancer stem cells are implicated in tumor progression, metastasis, and recurrence, although the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the expression of cellular prion protein (PrPc, PRNP) is positively correlated with an increased risk of metastasis in colorectal cancer. PrPc defines a subpopulation of CD44-positive cancer stem cells that contributes to metastatic capaci...
متن کاملOverexpression of cancer stem cell marker Lgr5 in colorectal cancer patients and association with pathologic findings
Background: To determine the expression of cancer stem cell marker Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) in colorectal carcinoma samples compared to normal adjacent tissue and any possible association with clinicopathological findings. Methods: This study was performed on forty samples of cancerous colorectal tissues (case group) and their adjacent normal mucosa (c...
متن کاملCancer stem cells: a shifting subpopulation of cells with stemness?
Carcinogenesis and tumor cells had long been thought to be produced by genetic mutations, until the emergence of the cancer stem cell (CSC) model. This relatively new model reveals another layer of complexity in malignancy formation and maintenance. However, these hard-to-track subpopulations have not only been challenging to understand at the molecular level but have also prevented the develop...
متن کاملA Rare Presentation of Colorectal Cancer with Unusual Progressive Intramuscular and Subcutaneous Metastatic Spread
Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death, worldwide. Recently, due to the introduction of novel imaging and therapeutic techniques, five-year survival of patients has increased. However, distant metastasis is still expected in half of the patients. Colorectal cancer tends to target the abdominal cavity, liver, lungs, and bones as the common sites of metastas...
