Aldehyde dehydrogenasehigh gastric cancer stem cells are resistant to chemotherapy
22 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are known to influence chemoresistance, survival, relapse and metastasis. Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) functions as an epithelial CSC marker. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of ALDH in gastric CSC maintenance, chemoresistance and survival. Following screening for eight candidate markers (CD13, CD26, CD44, CD90, CD117, CD133, EpCAM and ALDH), five gastric cancer cell...
