Sox11 Prevents Tumorigenesis of Glioma-Initiating Cells by Inducing Neuronal Differentiation
7 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Recent findings have shown that malignant tumors contain cancer-initiating cells (CIC), which self-renew and are tumorigenic. However, CICs have not been characterized properly due to lack of specific markers. We recently established a mouse glioma cell line, NSCL61, by overexpressing an oncogenic HRas(L61) in p53-deficient neural stem cells. Using limiting dilution assays, we show that only 2 of 24 NSCL61 clones...
