Cell surface GRP78 promotes stemness in normal and neoplastic cells [PDF]
Abstract Reliable approaches to identify stem cell mechanisms that mediate aggressive cancer could have great therapeutic value, based on the growing evidence of embryonic signatures in metastatic cancers. However, how to best identify and target stem-like mechanisms aberrantly acquired by cancer cells has been ...

MicroRNAs involved in neoplastic transformation of liver cancer stem cells [PDF]
Background The existence of cancer stem cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been verified by characterizing side population (SP) cells based on efflux of Hoechst 33342 dye from stem cells. Recent advances in microRNA (miRNA) biology have revealed

Normal and Neoplastic Stem Cells. [PDF]
A stem cell is broadly defined as a cell that retains the capacity to self-renew, a feature that confers the ability to continuously make identical daughter cells or additional cells that will differentiate into downstream progeny. This highly regulated genetic program to retain "stemness" is under active investigation.

Neoplastic Reprogramming of Patient-Derived Adipose Stem Cells by Prostate Cancer Cell-Associated Exosomes [PDF]
Abstract Emerging evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are often recruited to tumor sites but their functional significance in tumor growth and disease progression remains elusive. Herein we report that prostate cancer (PC) cell microenvironment subverts PC patient adipose-derived stem cells (pASCs) to undergo neoplastic ...

Thrombopoietin in normal and neoplastic stem cell development [PDF]
It has been known for sometime that thrombopoietin acts on megakaryocytic progenitor cells to stimulate platelet production. It has recently been discovered that it also stimulates the self-renewal and expansion of normal murine and human haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by acting on its cognate receptor, the product of the myeloproliferative leukaemia

Aneuploid embryonic stem cells exhibit impaired differentiation and increased neoplastic potential [PDF]
Aneuploidy leads to severe developmental defects in mammals and is also a hallmark of cancer. However, whether aneuploidy is a driving cause or a consequence of tumor formation remains controversial. Paradoxically, existing studies based on aneuploid yeast and mouse fibroblasts have shown that aneuploidy is usually detrimental to cellular fitness. Here,

Gene knockout of the master regulator of mitochondrial fission, Drp1, prevents neoplastic transformation. Also, mitochondrial fission and its opposing process of mitochondrial fusion are emerging as crucial regulators of stemness.
