In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the poor response to the chemotherapeutic agents is partially attributed to the chemoresistance property of cancer stem cells (CSCs). NOTCH signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the chemoresistance through the maintenance of the CSCs. We observed that the NOTCH pathway was activated in HCC CD133+ cells treated with vincristine (VIN)1 and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)2. Therefore, we examined whether inhibition of the NOTCH can improve sensitization of HCC CD133+ cells to VIN and 5-FU. The Huh7 cell line was pre-incubated γ-sec
