Protein–protein interaction analysis reveals a novel cancer stem cell related target TMEM17 in colorectal cancer

Abstract: Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cells within tumors with stem cell property. Increased evidence suggest that CSCs could be responsible for chemoresistance and recurrence in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, a reliable therapeutic target on CSCs is still lacking. Methods Here we describe a two-step strategy to generate CSC targets with high selectivity for colon stem cell markers, specific proteins that are interacte… Show more

“…Proteins with high connectivity may be the key points affecting the whole system metabolism or signal transduction pathway (Qiu & Liu, 2021). In addition, the results of protein interaction network analysis and pathway annotation, a more comprehensive and systematic cellular activity model at the molecular level can be obtained, which is convenient for the in‐depth study and mining of molecular mechanisms (Yu et al., 2021). The greater the connectivity is, the greater the disturbance the whole system will be when the protein changes, and it is more likely to be the key to maintain the balance and stability of the system, which is a candidate protein for the follow‐up research.…”
