Abstract excerpt
OCT-4 (also known as POU5F1) is a key regulator of self-renewal in embryonic stem cells. Regarding the new cancer stem cell concept, the expression of such genes is potentially correlated with tumorigenesis and can affect some aspects of tumor behavior, such as tumor recurrence or resistance to therapies.
