Molecular Insights Into Therapeutic Potential of Autophagy Modulation by Natural Products for Cancer Stem Cells
2020
Autophagy, a cellular self-digestion process that is activated in response to stress, has a functional role in tumor formation and progression. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) accounting for a minor proportion of total cancer cells-have distinct self-renewal and differentiation abilities and promote metastasis. Researchers have shown that a numeral number of natural products using traditional experimental methods have been revealed to target CSCs. However, the specific role of autophagy with respect to CSCs and tumorigenesis using natural products are still unknown. Currently, CSCs are considered to be one of the causative reasons underlying the failure of anticancer treatment as a result of tumor…
NOTCH3 expression is linked to breast cancer seeding and distant metastasis
2018
Background Development of distant metastases involves a complex multistep biological process termed the invasion-metastasis cascade, which includes dissemination of cancer cells from the primary tumor to secondary organs. NOTCH developmental signaling plays a critical role in promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, tumor stemness, and metastasis. Although all four NOTCH receptors show oncogenic properties, the unique role of each of these receptors in the sequential stepwise events that typify the invasion-metastasis cascade remains elusive. Methods We have established metastatic xenografts expressing high endogenous levels of NOTCH3 using estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ERα+) MCF…
Mazu un vidēju uzbekistānas uzņēmumu eksports: Lauksaimniecības produktu pārbaude
2020
Neskatoties uz pastāvīgu Uzbekistānas Republikas eksporta kvantitatīvo un kvalitatīvo rādītāju pieaugumu un ārējās tirdzniecības liberalizāciju, eksporta aktivitāte parāda vairākus faktorus, kuriem ir būtiska ierobežojoša ietekme uz MVU republikas eksporta attīstību. Tāpēc šis pētījums tika veikts ar mērķi izcelt un novērot izaicinājumus un nākotnes izredzes, ar kurām saskaras MVU, Uzbekistānas lauksaimniecības un pārtikas eksporta pierādījumos. Pieejas pamatā ir MVU eksporta novērošana, galvenokārt lauksaimniecības un pārtikas eksporta vide, tiešsaistes un papīra recenzijas akadēmiskajos žurnālos, grāmatās un iepriekšējos pētījumos. Pētījumā izmantota kvalitatīvā metode, un dati tiek apkop…

Synaptic Regulator α-Synuclein in Dopaminergic Fibers Is Essentially Required for the Maintenance of Subependymal Neural Stem Cells.
2018
Synaptic protein -synuclein (-SYN) modulates neurotransmission in a complex and poorly understood manner and aggregates in the cytoplasm of degenerating neurons in Parkinsons disease. Here, we report that -SYN present in dopaminergic nigral afferents is essential for the normal cycling and maintenance of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the brain subependymal zone of adult male and female mice. We also showthat premature senescence of adult NSCs into non-neurogenic astrocytes in mice lacking-SYN resemblesthe effects of dopaminergic fiber degeneration resulting from chronic exposure to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydropyridine or intranigral inoculation of aggregated toxic -SYN. Interestingly…
Targeting lysine-specific demethylase 1 (KDM1A/LSD1) impairs colorectal cancer tumorigenesis by affecting cancer cells stemness, motility, and differ…
2023
: Among all cancers, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common and the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide. New therapeutic strategies are required to target cancer stem cells (CSCs), a subset of tumor cells highly resistant to present-day therapy and responsible for tumor relapse. CSCs display dynamic genetic and epigenetic alterations that allow quick adaptations to perturbations. Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A also known as LSD1), a FAD-dependent H3K4me1/2 and H3K9me1/2 demethylase, was found to be upregulated in several tumors and associated with a poor prognosis due to its ability to maintain CSCs staminal features. Here, we explored the potential role of KDM1A tar…
A short story of 3AB-OS Cancer Stem Cells, a possible model for studying cancer stemness
2014
All tumors contain a population of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) responsible for the initiation, growth and development of the tumor and a challenge in cancer research is their identification and eradication. In our laboratory, by chemical treatment of the human osteosarcoma MG63 cell line, we have isolated and characterized the human OS CSC line (3AB-OS). 3AB-OS CSCs have a significant chromosomal complexity and a large number of molecular abnormalities which appear to be strongly congruent with those described in a large number of pediatric and adult osteosarcomas. 3AB-OS cells transdifferentiated in vitro into cells of all three primary germ layers and, when xenografted in athymic mice they w…
MicroRNAs in colorectal cancer stem cells: new regulators of cancer stemness?
2012
Recently, the hypothesis that colorectal tumors originate from a subpopulation of cells called ‘cancer stem cells' (CSCs) or tumor-initiating cells, which exhibit stem-like features, has been confirmed experimentally in various human cancers. Several studies have confirmed the existence of colorectal CSCs (CRCSCs) and have demonstrated that this rare cell population can be isolated by the expression of specific cell surface biomarkers. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, which are crucial for post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and participate in a wide variety of biological functions, including development, cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism…
Non-coding RNAs Functioning in Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells
2016
In recent years, the hypothesis of the presence of tumor-initiating cancer stem cells (CSCs) has received a considerable support. This model suggested the existence of CSCs which, thanks to their self-renewal properties, are able to drive the expansion and the maintenance of malignant cell populations with invasive and metastatic potential in cancer. Increasing evidence showed the ability of such cells to acquire self-renewal, multipotency, angiogenic potential, immune evasion, symmetrical and asymmetrical divisions which, along with the presence of several DNA repair mechanisms, further enhance their oncogenic potential making them highly resistant to common anticancer treatments. The main…
