Citation: Boominathan, L., Anti-cancer stem cell therapy: AMP-Activated Protein Kinase α 2 (AMPKα2) suppresses the expression of stem cell proteins Oct-4 and Sox-2 and inhibits cancer stem proliferation via up regulation of its target gene, 27/March/2015, 12.05 am, Genome-2-Bio-Medicine Discovery center (GBMD), http://genomediscovery.org
Significance: The study presented here suggests that AMPKα2, by increasing the expression of its target genes, it may suppress the expression of stem cell/reprogramming proteins Oct-4 and Sox-2. Thereby, it may inhibit the proliferation of cancer stem cells. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “AMPKα2 activators” may be used to inhibit the proliferation of cancer stem cells enriched in tumor tissues.
