Gemcitabine and mitomycin induced autophagy regulates cancer stem cell pool in urothelial carcinoma cells
3 Dec 2015
Abstract excerpt
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is characterized by therapeutic resistance and frequent tumor relapse. It has been suggested that UC are driven by a rare subset of cancer stem cells (CSCs). In order to understand UC recurrence post therapy, we investigated the behavior of urothelial CSCs after exposure to commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, gemcitabine (GC) and mitomycin (MM). Although, the role of autophagy in CSC...
