Hierarchical Organization of Prostate Cancer Cells in Xenograft Tumors: The CD44+α2β1+ Cell Population Is Enriched in Tumor-Initiating Cells
15 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Prostate cancer cells are heterogeneous in their tumorigenicity. For example, the side population cells isolated from LAPC9 xenografts are 100 to 1,000 times more tumorigenic than the corresponding non-side population cells. Highly purified CD44(+) prostate cancer cells from several xenografts are also enriched in prostate cancer stem/progenitor cells. Because the CD44(+) prostate cancer cell population is still...
