CD133: a stem cell biomarker and beyond

TLDR
New insights into CD133 regulation and the involvement of CD133 in cell self-renewal, tumorigenesis, metastasis, resistance, metabolism, differentiation, autophagy, apoptosis, and regeneration are summarized.
Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor initiating cells (TICs) contribute to tumorigenesis, metastasis, recurrence and chemoresistance. CD133, a pentaspan membrane glycoprotein, has been used as a stem cell biomarker for isolation of stem-like cells from a variety of normal and pathological tissues as well as cell lines since its discovery in 1999. Recent studies are focusing on the functionality of CD133. In this review, we summarize new insights into CD133 regulation and the involvement of CD133 in cell self-renewal, tumorigenesis, metastasis, resistance, metabolism, differentiation, autophagy, apoptosis, and regeneration.

AC133, a Novel Marker for Human Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells

TL;DR: AC133-selected cells engraft successfully in a fetal sheep transplantation model, and human cells harvested from chimeric fetal sheep bone marrow have been shown to successfully engraft secondary recipients, providing evidence for the long-term repopulating potential of AC133(+) cells.

CD133(+) and CD133(-) glioblastoma-derived cancer stem cells show differential growth characteristics and molecular profiles.

TL;DR: Together, the data provide first evidence that CD133(+) CSC maintain only a subset of primary glioblastomas, with apparent stem cell-like properties but distinct molecular profiles and growth characteristics in vitro and in vivo.

CD133 + HCC cancer stem cells confer chemoresistance by preferential expression of the Akt/PKB survival pathway

TL;DR: Results show that CD133+ HCC cells contribute to chemoresistance through preferential activation of Akt/PKB and Bcl-2 cell survival response, and targeting of this specific survival signaling pathway in CD133- HCC CSCs may provide a novel therapeutic model for the disease.
