摘要: Tumor-initiating cells (TIC) represent cancer stem-like cell (CSC) subpopulations within tumors that are thought to give rise recurrent after therapy. Identifying key regulators of TIC/CSC maintenance is essential for the development therapeutics designed limit recurrence. The steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) overexpressed in a wide range cancers, driving tumor initiation, proliferation, and metastasis. Here we report SRC-3 supports state induces an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by expression master EMT stem markers. We also show inhibition SRC-1 with SI-2, second-generation SRC-3/SRC-1 small-molecule inhibitor, targets CSC/TIC population both vitro vivo Collectively, these results identify SRC coactivators as capacity can serve potential therapeutic prevent recurrence cancer.
