Summary
Objective: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small population in cancer, which are responsible for therapeutic resistance, relapse and metastasis. Flavopiridol has antitumor activity against various types of cancer cells. The mechanism of action of flavopiridol on CD44+/CD24- breast CSCs has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of action of flavopiridol on breast CSCs (BCSC) in terms of apoptosis, cell cycle and biomolecular changes.
