Methylation Status of the Nanog Promoter Determines the Switch between Cancer Cells and Cancer Stem Cells
23 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the main cause of tumor development, metastasis, and relapse. CSCs are thus considered promising targets for cancer therapy. However, it is hard to eradicate CSCs due to their inherent plasticity and heterogeneity, and the underlying mechanism of the switch between non‐CSCs and CSCs remains unclear. Here, it is shown that miR‐135a combined with SMYD4 activates Nanog...
