Core Tip |
Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are involved in tumor angiogenesis and have a higher capacity for secreting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) than non-CSCs. Notch-1 was important in the control of the proliferation of many CSCs; targeting Notch-1 could result in a reduced CSC pool size and decreased levels of VEGF. Our study indicated that CD44+ GCSCs showed superior proliferation and higher VEGF secretion than non-CSCs; these traits were accompanied by high expression of Notch-1. Xiaotan Sanjie decoction could inhibit the proliferation of GCSCs and down-regulate microvessel density in a dose-dependent manner, which could be at least partially explained by its role in manipulating Notch-1. |
