Seminar entitled:

"Heme Oxygenase-1 and Melanoma-Initiating Cell Markers"

Objectives or Summary:

Melanoma-initiating cells (MICs) contribute to the tumorigenicity and heterogeneity of melanoma. MICs are identified by surface and functional markers and have been shown to display cancer stem cell (CSC) properties. However, the existence of MICs that follow the hierarchical CSC model has been questioned by studies showing that single unselected melanoma cells are highly tumorigenic in xenotransplantation assays. Herein, we characterize cells expressing MIC markers (CD20, CD24, CD133, Sca-1, ABCB1, ABCB5, ALDH high) in the B16-F10 murine melanoma cell line.

Place of the Seminar:

Department of Animal Production, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Duhok.
