CD133 positive

PD-L1 siRNA-loaded CD133-targeting exosomes demonstrated remarkable anticancer efficacy, characterized by specific binding to CD133-positive pancreatic cancer cells and suppression of PD-L1 expression within these cells.

AC in patients was more inert and anti-inflammatory, whereas abdominal cavity MC and PC were more active. This study revealed the biological characteristics of CSCs in different tumor tissues of patients with PMP, providing a reference for future targeted CSCs therapy.

We found an increase in the number of CSCs with expression of ALDH1, CD133 and CD34 in lung adenocarcinoma in patients with new coronavirus infection. Increased number of ALDH1+, CD133+ CD34+ CSCs in tumor tissue enhance the metastatic potential of lung adenocarcinoma. The Nucleocapsid and Spike proteins of SARS-CoV2 virus are detectable in lung tissue from patients with new coronavirus infection, both in adenocarcinoma cells, CSCs, and in type II pneumocytes, macrophages, and endothelial cells, suggesting prolonged persistence of the virus proteins and probably the virus.

The findings of this study showed that RAD51AP1 was highly expressed in OC tissue and CD133+OVCAR4 cells, and regulated the self-renewal and chemosensitivity of tumor cells through the TGF-β1/SMAD4 signaling pathway.

Decorin-negative MPNST cells grew significantly larger tumor in vivo. Thus, depletion of Decorin may occur in CSCs in MPNSTs, serving possibly as a new therapeutic target.

Our study is the first to biologically characterise pituitary tumours WDLD. We demonstrate that these tumours exhibit a higher expression of the stem cell marker SOX2 compared with other lineage-differentiated tumours, suggesting possible involvement of stem cells in their development.

Instead, FBP1 interacted with NICD1 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXW7 to facilitate the degradation of NICD1 through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, which is independent of the metabolic enzymatic activity of FBP1. The aforementioned studies suggest that targeting the FBP1-FBXW7-NICD1 axis holds promise as a therapeutic approach for addressing the challenges of NSCLC recurrence and drug resistance.

This review summarizes and discusses the existing evidence for and against the prognostic significance of CD133 in cancer. We also consider possible reasons for conflicting findings from the studies of the clinical significance of CD133.

Two members of the G6Pase system, G6PC3 and SLC37A4, associate with GBM disease progression and regulate the metabolic reprogramming of an invasive and CSC phenotype. Such molecular signature may support their role in cancer cell survival and chemoresistance and become future therapeutic targets.

This study also found that the TGF- is responsible for the de novo induction of CD133, which is linked to an increase in the expression of DNMT3 genes and there is a correlation between the TGF-induced transition in the cell subpopulation and a distinct DNA methylome. TGF- has the potential to generate genome-wide alterations in DNA methylation, which ultimately leads to a persistent shift in the fraction of liver cancer cell subpopulations.

These data provide an approach for achieving both intracellular inhibitory molecule, SHP-1 deletion and CD133 CAR gene over-expression in human T cells. And SHP-1 could be a new potential target for adoptive CAR T cells immunotherapy.

Our study provides a nonviral strategy for constructing CAR-T cells that could also secrete checkpoint blockade inhibitors based on a Sleeping Beauty system from minicircle vectors and revealed a potential benefit of this strategy for male patients with advanced HCC and high CD133 expression (median immunohistochemistry score > 2.284).

Neutron radiation experiments showed a more significant regression in spheroids formed with clones than in spheroids formed with parental cells when spheroids were treated with 10BPA. These results suggest that BNCT combined with gene therapy targeting cancer stem cells is more effective in glioblastoma therapy.

As for CD133 C643 cells, CCND1, IQGAP1, POU5F1, SOX2, NANOG, and NESTIN were significantly up-regulated compared to CD133 cells. This study suggests that these lncRNAs in CD133-positive SW1736 and C643 cells might regulate stemness behaviors in ATC.

MYC and YBX expression showed a positive correlation in RMS patients, and high MYC expression correlated with poor survival. Targeting the MYC-YBX1 axis holds promise for improving survival in RMS patients.

CD133 positive M-CTC is closely related to distant metastasis in CRC. The expression of CD133 in CTC, especially in M-CTC, can be used as a prognostic indicator for colorectal cancer.

Our data indicate that the proteinuria in TMA can be associated with significant effacement of foot processes. CD133-positive hyperplastic podocytes can be seen in the majority of TMA cases of this cohort, indicating a partial podocytopathy.

We demonstrate for the first time that XHP down-regulates stemness, restrains self-renewal and induces apoptosis in GSCs and impedes glioma growth by down-regulating SOX2 through destabilizing the CD133/EGFR/Akt/mTOR cascade.

Importantly, the depletion and enrichment of CD133 TNBCs highlighted the role of CD133 positive cancer cells in regulating tumor growth and progression. Collectively, our results demonstrate that dual targeting with bispecific CSANs can be effective against heterogenous tumor cell populations and that elimination of primary and CD133+ CSCs maybe necessary for eradication of at least a sub-set of TNBC.

G9 at 30 days produced the highest yield of cell spheroids, as determined by a sphere forming assay (F=19.147, P<0.001); colony formation assays also exhibited the greatest number of colonies derived from G9 spheroids at 30 days (F=60.767, P<0.01), which also generated the largest mean tumor volume in the subcutaneous tumorigenesis xenograft model (F=12.539, P<0.01). In conclusion, 20 ng/ml EGF + 20 ng/ml bFGF effectively enriched colon CSCs when added to suspension culture for 30 days, and conferred the highest efficiency compared with other combinations.

Methotrexate (MTX)-resistant osteosarcoma cells were established...The miR-197-3p mutation that could not combine SPOPL promoter regions was unable to sustain stemness or chemoresistance. Collectively, we discovered miR-197-3p conferred osteosarcoma stemness and chemotherapy resistance by targeting SPOPL, prompting promising therapeutic candidates for refractory osteosarcoma treatment.

In conclusion, circRACGAP1 facilitated stemness and metastasis of NSCLC cells through the recruitment of polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 to promote SIRT3-mediated RIF1 deacetylation. Our results uncover a novel regulatory mechanism of circRACGAP1 in NSCLC and identify circRACGAP1 as a promising therapeutic target.

Furthermore, AKT1 works as an upstream kinase to control RBM17-mediated FOXM1 alternative splicing and enhancement of CSC properties in CRC cells. Our study reveals that AKT1-RBM17-FOXM1-Sox2 axis could be a potential target for modulating alternative splicing to reduce CSC properties in CRC cells.

Several trials were trying to target those markers to improve the prognosis and cure. We aimed to review the papers that relate to the two markers in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

The present study provides genetic heterogeneity depending on the surface markers for LCSCs. The genetic heterogeneity of LCSCs should be considered in the development of LCSC-targeting therapeutics.

Considering the quantitative distribution of levels of intensity of staining (IS), ES (extent score), and immunoreactivity score (IRS), no difference was found between ENs and FLAIR regions for both the SOX-2 biomarker (respectively, IS p = 0.851, ES p = 0.561, IRS p = 1.000) and the CD133 biomarker (IS p = 0.653, ES p = 0.409, IRS p = 0.881). This evidence suggests to recalibrate the target of surgery for FLAIRECTOMY and 5-ALA could improve the possibility to achieve this goal.

Taken together, these data illustrated that RES inhibited lung cancer by targeting LCSCs and IL-6 in TME. The novel findings from this study provided evidence that RES exhibited multi-target effects on suppression of lung cancer and could be a novel potent cancer-preventive compound.

This study revealed that CAFs-derived SCUBE1 can enhance the malignancy and stemness of HCC cells through the Shh pathway. This study aims to provide new perspectives for future HCC studies and provide new strategies for HCC treatment.

Positive CD133 is correlated with poor prognosis in metastatic breast cancer patients.

We also observed a self-established, hierarchically organized, and heterogeneous TME by GBM transdifferentiation into endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes. Collectively, we demonstrate the ability to biomanufacture uniformly sized GBOs that recapitulate in vivo GBM TME features that can serve as an improved GBM in vitro model.

However, its effect is less significant on CD133 TPC-1 compared with CD133 TPC-1, which may be related to the stem cell-like properties of CD133 cells. In the future, the application of DHMEQ in TC 131I radiotherapy will effectively improve the clinical effect of patients.

This evidence suggests to recalibrate the target of surgery for FLAIRECTOMY and 5-ALA could improve the pos-sibility to achieve this goal.

These results demonstrate that apigenin can sensitize the radiotherapy of subcutaneous glioma in nude mice, and its mechanisms may result from the attenuations of cell stemness and DNA damage repair by inhibiting NF-κB/HIF-1α-mediated glycolytic related enzymes and protein expressions. In conclusion, our findings suggest that apigenin and apigenin-rich health foods can be used in the radiotherapy of glioma as a radiosensitizer.

The results of this study suggest the feasibility of using autologous BM-MSCs as an abundant source of stem cells for treating SG hypofunction and restoring the production of saliva in these patients.

HT29 cells were incubated with tumor-originated self-DNA with or without inhibitors of IGF1R (picropodophyllin), autophagy (chloroquine), and TLR9 (ODN2088), respectively. Autophagy, induced by different combinations of self-DNA and inhibitors is not sufficient to rescue HT29 cells from death but results in the survival of some CD133-positive stem-like HT29 cells. The creation of new types of combined IGF1R, autophagy, and/or TLR9 signaling inhibitors would play a significant role in the development of more personalized anti-tumor therapies for colorectal cancer.

Interestingly, the treatment effect was observed in glioblastoma stem cells modeling different transcriptomic subtypes of the disease. The presented platform is the fundament for subsequent target specificity characterization and in vivo application.

Moreover, the transduced and bystander T cells could kill the target CCA spheroids at a rate approximately 5-fold higher than that of the no treatment control condition (p = 0.0011). Our findings demonstrate proof-of-principle that T cells secreting αCD133-αCD3 engager can be an alternative approach to treating CD133-positive CCA, and they pave the way for future in vivo study and clinical trials.

PAM exhibited synergistic cytotoxicity with cisplatin (CDDP) but not with paclitaxel and doxorubicin. In a peritoneal metastasis xenograft model established via intraperitoneal spheroid injection, PAM intraperitoneal therapy significantly suppressed peritoneal carcinomatosis (tumor size and number), with a more significant decrease observed due to the combined effects of PAM and CDDP with no side effects. Taken together, our results indicate that PAM inhibits ovarian CSC traits and exhibits synergetic cytotoxicity with CDDP, demonstrating PAM as a promising intraparietal chemotherapy for enhancing antitumor efficacy and reducing side effects.

We demonstrated in vitro and in vivo that cisplatin and PARP inhibitors (PARPi) enrich for ovarian cancer stem cells (CSCs). Therefore, our objective was to assess how disruption of EZH2 action and/or reduction of EZH2 affects CSC populations alone or in combination with PARPi or carboplatin treatment. We treated OvCa cell lines (A2780, OVCAR4, displaying relatively high levels of EZH2) with vehicle(s), single agent EZH2 inhibitor GSK-126, carboplatin, the PARPi (olaparib), and combinations of GSK-126 with carboplatin or olaparib... Together, these data suggest EZH2 disruption of H3K27 trimethylation status negatively impacts the levels of ALDH active cells, but promotes an increase in PROM1 and subsequently CD133 positive cells. However, the combination of GSK-126 with carboplatin or PARPi was sufficient to negate the increase in CD133 positive populations suggesting the combination strategy could reduce CSC populations that contribute to recurrence.

These data link ECSC maintenance to PD-L1 expression through hypoxia and suggest a promising target for PD1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.
