CD133 confers cancer stem-like cell properties by stabilizing EGFR-AKT signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the seventh most common malignant tumor and the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cells within tumors that drive chemoresistance and tumor recurrence in various cancers. We characterized CSCs in primary HCC and identified CD133 as a CSC surface marker. CD133+ HCC cells displayed more stem cell-like properties, tumor spheroid-forming ability, chemoresistance, migration ability, and tumorigenic capacity than CD133- HCC cells.
