PI3K/Akt pathway and Nanog maintain cancer stem cells in sarcomas

Abstract The self-renewal transcription factor Nanog and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)–Akt pathway are known to be essential for maintenance of mesenchymal stem cells. We evaluated their contribution to the maintenance of CD133(+) cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) and spheroid-forming cells in pa...
