Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) are now considered the primary "seeds" for the onset, development, metastasis, and recurrence of tumors. Despite therapeutic breakthroughs, cancer remains the leading cause of death worldwide. This is because the tumor microenvironment contains a key population of cells known as CSCs, which promote tumor aggression. CSCs are self-renewing cells that aid tumor recurrence by promoting tumor growth and persisting in patients after many traditional cancer treatments. According to reports, numerous transcription factors (TF) play a key role in maintaining CSC pluripotency and its self-renewal property. The understanding of the functions, structures, and interactional dynamics of these transcription factors with DNA has modified the hypothesis, paving the way for novel transcription factor-targeted therapies. These TFs, which are crucial and are required by cancer cells, play a vital function in the etiology of human cancer. Such CSC TFs will help with gene expression profiling, which provides crucial data for predicting the prognosis of patients. To overcome anti-cancer medication resistance and completely eradicate cancer, a potent therapy combining TFs-based CSC targets with traditional chemotherapy may be developed. In order to develop therapies that could eliminate CSCs, we here concentrated on the effect of TFs and other components of signalling pathways on cancer stemness.
癌症干细胞(CSCs)现在被认为是肿瘤发生、发展、转移和复发的主要“种子”。尽管治疗取得了突破,但癌症仍然是全球主要的死亡原因。这是因为肿瘤微环境中包含一群关键细胞,即癌症干细胞,它们会促进肿瘤侵袭。癌症干细胞是自我更新的细胞,通过促进肿瘤生长并在许多传统癌症治疗后在患者体内持续存在来帮助肿瘤复发。据报道,众多转录因子(TF)在维持癌症干细胞的多能性及其自我更新特性方面发挥着关键作用。对这些转录因子的功能、结构以及它们与DNA的相互作用动力学的理解改变了这一假说,为新型转录因子靶向治疗铺平了道路。这些对癌细胞至关重要且必不可少的转录因子在人类癌症的病因学中发挥着重要作用。此类癌症干细胞转录因子将有助于基因表达谱分析,为预测患者预后提供关键数据。为了克服抗癌药物耐药性并彻底根除癌症,可能会开发一种将基于转录因子的癌症干细胞靶点与传统化疗相结合的有效疗法。为了开发能够消除癌症干细胞的疗法,我们在此集中研究了转录因子和信号通路的其他成分对癌症干性的影响。
