Identification of microRNAs specific for epithelial cell adhesion molecule–positive tumor cells in hepatocellular carcinoma
8 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Therapies that target cancer stem cells (CSCs) hold promise in eliminating cancer burden. However, normal stem cells are likely to be targeted owing to their similarities to CSCs. It is established that epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a biomarker for normal hepatic stem cells (HpSCs), and EpCAM(+) AFP(+) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells have enriched hepatic CSCs. We sought to...
