Hypoxia‐inducible factor‐2α directly promotes BCRP expression and mediates the resistance of ovarian cancer stem cells to adriamycin
10 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) are sources of tumor chemoresistance and recurrence. A hypoxic microenvironment contributes to the chemoresistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the underlying mechanism is not fully understood yet. Here, we show that increased HIF‐2α expression is associated with enhanced stemness of OCSCs and poor outcomes in ovarian cancer patients. OVCAR‐3 and CAOV‐3 sphere‐forming...
