Lung Cancer Stem Cells
Lung cancer remains a major cause of cancer-related lethality because of high incidence and recurrence in spite of significant advances in staging and therapies. Recent data indicates that stem cells situated throughout the airways may initiate cancer formation. These putative stem cells maintain protumorigenic characteristics including high proliferative capacity, multipotent differentiation, ...
متن کاملStem Cells for Lung Cancer?
Stem cells are believed to be crucial players in tumor development. There is much interest in identifying those compartments that harbor stem cells involved in lung cancer, given the high incidence and recurrence rate of this disease. In this issue of Cell, Kim and colleagues describe a niche in the bronchioalveolar duct junction of adult mouse lung that harbors stem cells from which adenocarci...
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 کاملCancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in Lung Cancer
The cancer stem cell model for tumor progression is the first model of its type to suggest that only one subpopulation of cancer cells is capable of proliferating indefinitely. These cells resemble normal stem cells in their capacity for self-renewal and multi-potential differentiation, and can both initiate and maintain tumors. The prevailing names for these cells are “cancer stem cells (CSCs)...
متن کاملDihydroartemisinin increases radiosensitivity of A549 lung cancer cells
Background: Radiotherapy is the gold standard in the treatment of lung cancer. However, the radiosensitization of cancerous cells requires further improvement. Here, we investigated the effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on the radiosensitization of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Methods: Cell proliferation and cell cycle assays were carried out using A549 cells exposed to DHA. The e...
