Transcriptional recapitulation and subversion of embryonic colon development by mouse colon tumor models and human colon cancer
5 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The expression of carcino-embryonic antigen by colorectal cancer is an example of oncogenic activation of embryonic gene expression. Hypothesizing that oncogenesis-recapitulating-ontogenesis may represent a broad programmatic commitment, we compared gene expression patterns of human colorectal cancers (CRCs) and mouse colon tumor models to those of mouse colon development embryonic days 13.5-18.5....
