Abstract

The biological significance of a known normal and cancer stem cell marker CD133 remains elusive. We now demonstrate that the phosphorylation of tyrosine-828 residue in CD133 C-terminal cytoplasmic domain mediates direct interaction between CD133 and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) 85 kDa regulatory subunit (p85), resulting in preferential activation of PI3K/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway in glioma stem cell (GSC) relative to matched nonstem cell. CD133 knockdown potently inhibits the activity of PI3K/Akt pathway with an accompanying reduction in the self-renewal and tumorigenicity of GSC. The inhibitory effects of CD133 knockdown could be completely rescued by expression of WT CD133, but not its p85-binding deficient Y828F mutant. Analysis of glioma samples reveals that CD133 Y828 phosphorylation level is correlated with histopathological grade and overlaps with Akt activation. Our results identify the CD133/PI3K/Akt signaling axis, exploring the fundamental role of CD133 in glioma stem cell behavior.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
