摘 要:Tumor initiating cells(TICs)have been identified as cells that account for tumor *** studies demonstrated that genes controlling stem cell biology play key roles in maintaining TICs and promote their development into *** this review,we summarize findings from human and animal studies that indicate the presence of TICs during liver cancer *** identified for liver development and regeneration are used to identify liver cancer *** of these markers is often upregulated in human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)*** flow cytometry analysis and lineage tracing approaches,the presence of TICs is *** of TIC markers and the presence of TICs are also observed in genetically modified animals that target genes that are frequently altered in human *** presence of these TICs represents a major challenge for therapeutic devel*** signals that can regulate the fate,transformation and growth of liver TICs is an emerging need in liver ***-determining region Y-box 9(SOX9)has recently become an important marker for liver ***,we summarize the role of SOX9 in TICs and its potential interaction with other *** includes the Notch-Numb signal that controls asymmetrical-symmetrical cell division,Wnt-b-catenin signal that maintains cell fate and transforming growth factor(TGF)-b signal that acts as upstream inducers.
