Endoglin Is Essential for the Maintenance of Self-Renewal and Chemoresistance in Renal Cancer Stem Cells. [PDF]
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a deadly malignancy due to its tendency to metastasize and resistance to chemotherapy. Stem-like tumor cells often confer these aggressive behaviors.

Reprogramming glioblastoma multiforme cells into neurons by protein kinase inhibitors [PDF]
Background Reprogramming of cancers into normal-like tissues is an innovative strategy for cancer treatment. Recent reports demonstrate that defined factors can reprogram cancer cells into pluripotent stem cells. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most

Fucosyltransferase 1 and 2 play pivotal roles in breast cancer cells. [PDF]
FUT1 and FUT2 encode alpha 1, 2-fucosyltransferases which catalyze the addition of alpha 1, 2-linked fucose to glycans. Glycan products of FUT1 and FUT2, such as Globo H and Lewis Y, are highly expressed on malignant tissues, including breast cancer ...

Do we need another heart failure biomarker. focus on soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) [PDF]
If sST2 indeed turns into the HbA1c of heart failure, its value should increase exponentially in our management of patients with heart failure. Serial sST2 levels should allow us to titrate therapy and monitor the clinical state of the patient.

MicroRNA-383 located in frequently deleted chromosomal locus 8p22 regulates CD44 in prostate cancer. [PDF]
A major genomic alteration in prostate cancer (PCa) is frequent loss of chromosome (chr) 8p with a common region of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chr8p22 locus.

GPER-induced signaling is essential for the survival of breast cancer stem cells. [PDF]
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor-1 (GPER), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, mediates estrogen-induced proliferation of normal and malignant breast epithelial cells.

Clinical Implication of Targeting of Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
The existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) is receiving increasing interest particularly due to its potential ability to enter clinical routine. Rapid advances in the CSC field have provided evidence for the development of more reliable anticancer ...

Yin Yang 1 is associated with cancer stem cell transcription factors (SOX2, OCT4, BMI1) and clinical implication. [PDF]
The transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is frequently overexpressed in cancerous tissues compared to normal tissues and has regulatory roles in cell proliferation, cell viability, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, metastasis and drug/immune resistance.

Many faces of DAMPs in cancer therapy [PDF]
A new concept of immunogenic cell death (ICD) has recently been proposed. The immunogenic characteristics of this cell death mode are mediated mainly by molecules called ‘damage-associated molecular patterns’ (DAMPs), most of which are recognized by ...

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...
