Drug-eluting microarrays to identify effective chemotherapeutic combinations targeting patient-derived cancer stem cells.
A new paradigm in oncology establishes a spectrum of tumorigenic potential across the heterogeneous phenotypes within a tumor. The cancer stem cell hypothesis postulates that a minute fraction of cells within a tumor, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), have a tumor-initiating capacity that propels tumor growth. An application of this discovery is to target this critical cell population using chem...
متن کاملTargeting Lung Cancer Stem Cells with Antipsychological Drug Thioridazine
Lung cancer stem cells are a subpopulation of cells critical for lung cancer progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Thioridazine, a classical neurological drug, has been reported with anticancer ability. However, whether thioridazine could inhibit lung cancer stem cells has never been studied. In our current work, we used different dosage of thioridazine to test its effect on lung cancer...
متن کاملNatural and herbal compounds targeting breast cancer, a review based on cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are known as the major reason for therapy resistance. Recently, natural herbal compounds are suggested to have a significant role in inhibiting the breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs). The aim of this study was to explore the effective natural herbal compounds against BCSCs.This review article was designed based on the BCSCs, mechanisms of therapy resistance and natural he...
متن کاملChemical approaches to targeting drug resistance in cancer stem cells.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of cancer cells with high clonogenic capacity and ability to reform parental tumors upon transplantation. Resistance to therapy has been shown for several types of CSC and, therefore, they have been proposed as the cause of tumor relapse. Consequently, much effort has been made to design molecules that can target CSCs specifically and sensitize them ...
متن کاملTargeting the Achilles’ heel of drug-resistant cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have recently emerged as key contributors to drug resistance based on their enhanced abilities to evade apoptosis and survive unfavorable microenvironments. CSCs represent a subpopulation of cells that can self-renew, propagate, reconstitute the tumor heterogeneity, and resist many types of cancer therapies. Determining the specific pathways involved in regulating the d...
