Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colon cancer harboring TP53 mutations is highly aggressive and associated with short survival. Adaptive, rather than apoptotic, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress endows TP53-mutant tumor cells with enhanced protein-folding capacity, metabolic plasticity, and chemoresistance. However, the upstream regulators that selectively drive this cytoprotective program within the cancer stem cell compartment...
