Cancer stem cells were first recognized by Bonnet et al, who showed a sub-portion of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) stem cells could be identified and separated from AML cells in patients. This subset of AML cells were the only cells capable of transferring AML from the human patients to studied mice.1 The hypothesis of the existence of cancer stem cells gained more attention around 2001 when Reya et al pushed the notion that cancer stems cells are composed of a subset fraction of tumor cells that have the ability to maintain the tumor through self-renewal, conferring drug resistance, and inducing tumor relapse.2 These cancer stem cells have similar physiologic properties to normal adult stem cells, like self-renewal and differentiation. Normal stem cells had been shown to be resistant to cytotoxic agents compared to mature cell types, which is explained by anti-apoptotic mechanisms,3 quiescence,4 and high expression levels of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.5 Thus, the existence of cancer stem cells explains the reason why many treatments for metastatic tumors ultimately fail. Current treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can shrink, but not cure metastatic tumors. Frequently, these treatments do indeed target the bulk of tumor cells in the human body, but often, the drug therapy is unable to kill the cancer stem cells (due to inherited and/or acquired resistance), and thus the tumor can easily grow back. In recent years, cancer stem cells have been identified and isolated by characteristics of normal stem cells, like using tissue specific CD markers (The cluster of differentiation) and ABC transporter proteins.6 Research about targeted therapy in regard to these cancer stem cells has come in full swing over the past decade.","PeriodicalId":91560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stem cell research & therapeutics","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80770422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It supplies cellular energy and assist in signaling, cell metabolism, cellular differentiation, cell survival and other cell-specific functions. Calcium uptake takes place through mitochondrial outer membrane by voltage-dependent anion channels. After formation of electrochemical gradient and equilibrium on both sides’ mitochondrial functions become normal. It is maintained during oxidative phosphorylation. Thus buffering of cytosolic Ca2+ levels regulate mitochondrial effector functions. Ca2+ transported into mitochondria regulates its metabolism and causes transient depolarisation of mitochondrial membrane. Imbalance in Ca2+ levels cause cardiac myocyte injury that is increased with the decline in pH.1 Dysregulated mitochondrial Ca2+ level and its imbalances generate ischemia neurodegenerative diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders and cancer.2 Accumulation of extra calcium in mitochondria also increases production and modulation of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, balanced Ca2+ buffering is required for normal mitochondrial functions, cell survival and longevity. Mitochondria also involve in control of cell cycle and cell growth. Hence, excessive calcium influx increases ROS generation, induces mitochondrial depolarization and triggers sever pathogenesis. Contrary to this low calcium level affects homoeostasis and redox signaling.3 It also gives rise stress particularly, nitrosative or oxidative stress. More often, excessive calcium uptake of calcium and accumulation of it in cardiac muscle cells result in mitochondrial dysfunctions that impose heart disease. Mitochondria play a central role in cell life and cell death. Availability of Ca2+ in cell from endoplasmic reticulum plays a pivotal role in cell proliferation.","PeriodicalId":91560,"journal":{"name":"Journal of stem cell research & therapeutics","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90826674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
