The Wnt/β-catenin pathway regulates self-renewal of cancer stem-like cells in human gastric cancer

Abstract excerpt

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) possess the ability of self-renewal and tumor initiation. Targeting key signaling pathways that are active in CSC self-renewal is one approach to cancer therapy. Abnormal activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway has been described in a wide variety of human cancers and in CSCs; however, the role of this pathway in gastric CSCs has not been reported. In our study, we investigated whether...
