Modeling the functional heterogeneity of leukemia stem cells: role of STAT5 in leukemia stem cell self-renewal
10 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Although the cancer stem cell (CSC) concept implies that CSCs are rare, recent reports suggest that CSCs may be frequent in some cancers. We hypothesized that the proportion of leukemia stem cells would vary as a function of the number of dysregulated pathways. Constitutive expression of MN1 served as a 1-oncogene model, and coexpression of MN1 and a HOX gene served as a 2-oncogene model. Leukemia-initiating cell...
