Tumor endothelial cells with high aldehyde dehydrogenase activity show drug resistance
29 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Tumor blood vessels play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis. We previously reported that tumor endothelial cells (TEC) exhibit several altered phenotypes compared with normal endothelial cells (NEC). For example, TEC have chromosomal abnormalities and are resistant to several anticancer drugs. Furthermore, TEC contain stem cell‐like populations with high aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity...
