α2β1 Integrin Regulates Lineage Commitment in Multipotent Human Colorectal Cancer Cells*
30 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
The human colorectal epithelium is maintained by multipotent stem cells that give rise to absorptive, mucous, and endocrine lineages. Recent evidence suggests that human colorectal cancers are likewise maintained by a minority population of so-called cancer stem cells. We have previously established a human colorectal cancer cell line with multipotent characteristics (HRA-19) and developed a serum-free medium...
