Journal ArticleDOI

The microRNA miR-34a inhibits prostate cancer stem cells and metastasis by directly repressing CD44

TL;DR: This study shows that miR-34a is a key negative regulator of CD44(+) prostate cancer cells and establishes a strong rationale for developing miR -34a as a novel therapeutic agent against prostate CSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

NANOG promotes cancer stem cell characteristics and prostate cancer resistance to androgen deprivation

TL;DR: Gain-of-function studies establish the integral role for NANOG in neoplastic processes and shed light on its mechanisms of action in tumorigenesis, as well as establishing the importance of CXCR4, IGFBP5, CD133 and ALDH1 in this work.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional evidence that the self-renewal gene NANOG regulates human tumor development.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that NANOG, a cell‐fate regulatory molecule known to be important for ESC self‐renewal, also plays a novel role in tumor development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prostate cancer stem/progenitor cells: identification, characterization, and implications.

TL;DR: This Perspective provides insight on how a CSC should be defined and presents a hypothetical model for the hierarchical organization of human PCa cells and discusses the implications of this model in helping understand prostate carcinogenesis and design novel diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches.
