The Effect of Plant-derived Compounds in Targeting Cancer Stem Cells
Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cancer cells with self-renewal and differentiation ability. Furthermore, CSCs are resistant to chemoradiotherapy due to their high level of detoxifying enzymes, strong DNA repair abilities, and high drug efflux capacity. Objective Therefore, CSCs are supposed to account for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence, ...
متن کاملFunctional Inhibition of Nucleostemin Gene-Acoordinator of Self-Renewal Ability-In Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Rnai Strategy
Purpose: The aim is to downregulate the expression level of NS as an important factor in sustaining stem cells and certain types of cancer cells self-renewal ability in bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells by RNAi strategy and investigate the effects of absence of NS in these cells. Materials and Methods: Double strand NS-specific and control siRNA oligos were designed and transfected in...
متن کاملEffect of Radiation on self-renewality of prostate cancer stem cells.
Introduction: CSCs have been identified in prostate cancer (PCa), one of the most diagnosed malignancies in men over the world, for which radiation resistance is a major problem in the treatment of advanced stages. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have the ability to self-renew and differentiate to give rise to heterogeneous phenotype of the tumor cells. It is believed that CSCs are ...
متن کاملEffect of Hyperthermia on self-renewality of prostate cancer stem cells
Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in the male population worldwide and it is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in males. PCa is almost incurable due to the resistance of PCa to conventional treatments. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) theory suggests that a small subpopulation of cancer cells is responsible for tumor development, ...
متن کاملEvaluating the Expression of Oct4 as a Prognostic Tumor Marker in Bladder Cancer
Objective(s)The key transcriptional regulator Oct4 is one of the self-renewal and differentiation-related factors in cancer stem cells, where it maintains "stemness" state. Cancer stem cells have been identified in a variety of solid malignancies. They are a small population of tumor cells with stem cell characteristics, which are a likely cause of relapse in cancer patients. Due to high incide...
