HES1 and in situ carcinoma: In our current study, we show for the first time that WFA alone or in combination with CIS if employed to treat mice bearing human orthotopic ovarian tumors not only suppresses tumor growth but targets cells expressing CSC markers as well as inhibits Notch1 and its downstream signaling genes (Hes1 and Hey1) that have been reported to play a crucial role in self-renewal and maintenance of CSCs (33).
