Hepatocellular carcinoma and multidrug resistance: Past, present and new challenges for therapy improvement [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common malignancy of the liver and the third cause of cancer death worldwide. Chronic hepatitis due to HBV and HCV infection are two major risk factors for HCC worldwide.

Anti-proliferative but not anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors enrich for cancer stem cells in soft tissue sarcoma. [PDF]
BackgroundIncreasing studies implicate cancer stem cells (CSCs) as the source of resistance and relapse following conventional cytotoxic therapies. Few studies have examined the response of CSCs to targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors ...

Loss of histone macroH2A1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells promotes paracrine-mediated chemoresistance and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells activation [PDF]
Rationale: Loss of histone macroH2A1 induces appearance of cancer stem cells (CSCs)-like cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). How CSCs interact with the tumor microenvironment and the adaptive immune system is unclear. Methods: We screened aggressive

Hepatitis B virus induces sorafenib resistance in liver cancer via upregulation of cIAP2 expression
Background HBV promotes cell survival by upregulating the expression of the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP2), however whether it is involved in HBV-induced sorafenib resistance in liver cancer remains unclear.
