Abnormal DNA Methylation of <i>CD133</i> in Colorectal and Glioblastoma Tumors
30 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Much recent effort has focused on identifying and characterizing cellular markers that distinguish tumor propagating cells (TPC) from more differentiated progeny. We report here an unusual promoter DNA methylation pattern for one such marker, the cell surface antigen CD133 (Prominin 1). This protein has been extensively used to enrich putative cancer propagating stem-like cell populations in epithelial tumors...
