| 摘要 |
The discovery of clonally pure populations of serosal cancer stem cells (CSCs) as well as methods of producing CSCs, culturing the CSCs and using them in screening assays, has lead to the development of methods of treating serosal and ovarian cancers by targeting removal or inhibition of the glycocalyx coat surrounding such cells, and includes combination therapies using particular chemotherapeutics in conjunction with glycocalyx inhibitors, as well as the same new chemotherapy treatments without targeting the glycocalyx, where the chemotherapeutic agent is any one of LBH-589 (Panobinostat), NVP-AUY922, LAQ824 (NVP-LAQ824, Dacinostat), colchicine, brefeldin A, diphenyleneiodonium chloride, any combination thereof or another agent identified herein. These treatment methods of the invention can also be used in combination with radiation treatment or other conventional cancer therapy. |
