Expression analysis of putative stem cell markers in human benign and malignant prostate
25 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Stem cells were suggested to be present in human prostate cancer as a small population of distinct cells, which may contribute to carcinogenesis, tumor recurrence, and chemoresistance. To identify potential prostatic stem cells, we analyzed the expression of several potential stem cell markers in benign prostate and prostatic adenocarcinoma. METHODS: CD44, CD133, Oct4, SOX2, and EZH2 expression was...
