Slow-Cycling Cancer Stem Cells Regulate Progression and Chemoresistance in Colon Cancer
19 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Cancer chemoresistance is often attributed to the presence of cancer stem cell (CSC)-like cells, but whether they are homogeneously chemoresistant remains unclear. We previously showed that in colon tumors, a subpopulation of LGR5+ CSC-like cells driven by TCF1 (TCF7), a Wnt-responsive transcription factor, were responsible for tumorigenicity. Here we demonstrate that the tumorigenic subpopulation of...
