Cancer stem cells in melanoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The identification of cancer stem cells in various malignancies led to the hypothesis that these cells have the exclusive ability of self-renewal, contribute to the plasticity of the tumours and may be the cause for ineffective cancer therapies. Several markers of melanoma stem cells have been described in recent studies including CD133, CD166, Nestin and BMI-1. Further studies are necessary to identify, better define and understand the origin and function of cancer stem cells. If confirmed that cancer stem cells play an important role in malignancy, therapeutic strategies may need to be redirected towards these cells to circumvent the failure of conventional therapies.

بررسی بیان شاخص‌های سطحی CD133، CD44 و ABCG2 در رده‌های سلولی ملانوما و ارتباط آنها با سلول‌های بنیادی سرطان
Background and Objective: Melanoma is the most deadly type of skin cancer that has a high potency and rapid metastasis to other organs. It appears that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of cancer stem cells candidate markers and their association with stemness features in mel...

Background: The cancer stem cells (CSCs) are involved in invasion and metastasis of melanoma, the most lethal and aggressive form of skin cancer. In the present study, the expression of putative stem cell markers CD133 and ALDH1 were evaluated in melanoma cell lines and then the cells sorted based on the expression of these markers. Methods: In the present study expression of CD133 and A...

Background: Skin cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer and melanoma is the deadliest kind of skin cancer in the world. Due to enhanced induction of apoptosis and ROS levels, low-level lasers can be utilized to destroy skin cancer cells. Lasers are used to treat some skin lesions. Vitamin A is beneficial in the prevention and treatment of skin cancer. Vitamin A inhibits the pathway of canc...
