LncRNA HOTTIP modulates cancer stem cell properties in human pancreatic cancer by regulating HOXA9.

TLDR
The results indicate that the HOTTIP/WDR5/HOXA9/Wnt axis contributes to PCSC stemness and is a potential therapeutic target for PDAC.

The emerging role of lncRNAs in the regulation of cancer stem cells

TL;DR: lncRNAs are valuable tools in the search for new targets to selectively eliminate CSCs and improve clinical outcomes and may serve as excellent therapeutic targets because they are stable, easily detectable and expressed in tissue-specific contexts.

lncRNA GAS5 Reverses EMT and Tumor Stem Cell-Mediated Gemcitabine Resistance and Metastasis by Targeting miR-221/SOCS3 in Pancreatic Cancer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the potential functions and mechanisms of GAS5 in pancreatic cancer (PC) gemcitabine resistance and metastasis, and showed that overexpression of growth arrest-specific 5 suppressed the proliferation, migration and stem cell-like properties of PC cells by directly binding to and suppressing miR-221 expression.

Cancer statistics, 2016

TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells

TL;DR: Stem cell biology has come of age: Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine.

Identification of Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells

TL;DR: This work identified a highly tumorigenic subpopulation of pancreatic cancer cells expressing the cell surface markers CD44, CD24, and epithelial-specific antigen (ESA) that showed the stem cell properties of self-renewal, the ability to produce differentiated progeny, and increased expression of the developmental signaling molecule sonic hedgehog.
