Sphere-forming culture enriches liver cancer stem cells and reveals Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 as a potential therapeutic target
1 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUNDS: The role of sphere-forming culture in enriching subpopulations with stem-cell properties in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. The present study investigates its value in enriching cancer stem cells (CSCs) subpopulations and the mechanism by which HCC CSCs are maintained. METHODS: HCC cell lines and fresh primary tumor cells were cultured in serum-free and ultra-low attachment conditions to...
