mTOR Signal and Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Regulate CD133 Expression in Cancer Cells
8 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
The underlying mechanism regulating the expression of the cancer stem cell/tumor-initiating cell marker CD133/prominin-1 in cancer cells remains largely unclear, although knowledge of this mechanism would likely provide important biological information regarding cancer stem cells. Here, we found that the inhibition of mTOR signaling up-regulated CD133 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels in a...
