Beyond the surface: Investigation of tumorsphere morphology using volume electron microscopy

open access: yesJournal of Structural Biology, 2023
The advent of volume electron microscopy (vEM) has provided unprecedented insights into cellular and subcellular organization, revolutionizing our understanding of cancer biology. This study presents a previously unexplored comparative analysis of the ultrastructural disparities between cancer cells cultured as monolayers and tumorspheres.

A novel chemotherapeutic protocol for peritoneal metastasis and inhibition of relapse in drug resistant ovarian cancer

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2018
The majority of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed in late stages of the disease, in which the tumor cells have leaked into the peritoneum and are present as tumorspheres.

YM155 as an inhibitor of cancer stemness simultaneously inhibits autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor and G9a-mediated stemness in lung cancer cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Cancer stem cell survival is the leading factor for tumor recurrence after tumor-suppressive treatments. Therefore, specific and efficient inhibitors of cancer stemness must be discovered for reducing tumor recurrence.

Immunobiology of solid cancers: cellular and molecular pathways as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In the last four decades, tumor immunology has shed light on identity and functions of cells and molecules involved in tumor rejection through the involvement of the immune system [1].

New markers for human ovarian cancer that link platinum resistance to the cancer stem cell phenotype and define new therapeutic combinations and diagnostic tools [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecologic cancer-related death, due in part to a late diagnosis and a high rate of recurrence. Primary and acquired platinum resistance is related to a low response probability to subsequent lines of ...

5-Azacytidine Induces Anoikis, Inhibits Mammosphere Formation and Reduces Metalloproteinase 9 Activity in MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells

open access: yesMolecules, 2014
Cancer stem cells are a subset of cancer cells that initiate the growth of tumors. Low levels of cancer stem cells also exist in established cancer cell lines, and can be enriched in serum-free tumorsphere cultures.

Etomoxir, a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 inhibitor, combined with temozolomide reduces stemness and invasiveness in patient-derived glioblastoma tumorspheres

open access: yesCancer Cell International, 2022
Introduction The importance of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in the bioenergetics of glioblastoma (GBM) is being realized. Etomoxir (ETO), a carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) inhibitor exerts cytotoxic effects in GBM, which involve interrupting the ...

Aldh1 Expression and Activity Increase during Tumor Evolution in Sarcoma Cancer Stem Cell Populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Tumors evolve from initial tumorigenic events into increasingly aggressive behaviors in a process usually driven by subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Co-expression of cancer driver genes: IDH-wildtype glioblastoma-derived tumorspheres [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Abstract Background Driver genes of GBM may be crucial for the onset of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype (WT) glioblastoma (GBM). However, it is still unknown whether the genes are expressed in the identical cluster of cells.

Monoamine oxidase-A activity is required for clonal tumorsphere formation by human breast tumor cells

open access: yesCellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2019
Background Breast tumor growth and recurrence are driven by an infrequent population of breast tumor-initiating cells (BTIC). We and others have reported that the frequency of BTIC is orders of magnitude higher when breast tumor cells are propagated in ...
