SMURF1 silencing diminishes a CD44-high cancer stem cell-like population in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
1 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is thought to play key roles in regulating the survival and maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which contribute to disease recurrences and treatment failures in many malignances, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Intracellular BMP signaling is regulated by SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (SMURF1) during cellular...
