Wnt/beta-catenin signaling activates microRNA-181 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant cancer with an observable heterogeneity and microRNAs are functionally associated with the tumorigenesis of HCC. We recently identified that EpCAM (CD326)-positive cells isolated from alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)-positive HCC samples are hepatic cancer stem cells (HepCSCs). EpCAM+AFP+ HepCSCs have an activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling with a parallel increased...
