Known liver CSC markers and their role in cellular metabolism

Marker Metabolic phenotype Function in therapy Reference
CD13 Maintain lower levels of mitochondrial ROS Combining a CD13 inhibitor with a chemo/radiation therapy inhibit tumor progression 27,38
CD133 Decrease mitochondrial OXPHOS and promotes glycolysis Targeting glycolytic enzymes represses stemness properties in CD133+ PLC cells 32,72
CD90 Higher levels of the mitochondrial ROS Actively proliferate and are sensitive to 5-FU therapy 27
CD44 Maintaining low ROS levels through promoting glutathione synthesis Combining a CD44 inhibitor with a Sulfasalazine inhibit tumor progression 74
