Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have previously found there was a small subpopulation of cells with cancer stem cell-like phenotype ALDH-1 in cervical cancer. Radiotherapy has been applied in most of the cervical cancer. However,the mechanisms underlying radioresistance still remained elusive. Our study is to explore whether ALDH+ cell promotes radioresistance by hypoxia. METHODS: Cells were respectively cultured in hypoxia and...
