Sox2 expression in human stomach adenocarcinomas with gastric and gastric‐and‐intestinal‐mixed phenotypes
18 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Other than ectopic expression of intestinal transcription factors, Cdx1 and Cdx2, the molecular mechanisms underlying gastric and intestinal phenotypes of human stomach adenocarcinomas have yet to be clarified in detail. We have reported that Sox2, an HMG-box gastric transcription factor, is expressed in normal gastric mucosa and down-regulated in intestinal metaplasia. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analysed mRNA...
