Methylome analysis reveals Jak-STAT pathway deregulation in putative breast cancer stem cells

Abstract excerpt

Growing evidence supports the existence of a subpopulation of cancer cells with stem cell characteristics within breast tumors. In spite of its potential clinical implications, an understanding of the mechanisms responsible for retaining the stem cell characteristics in these cells is still lacking. Here, we used the mammosphere model combined with DNA methylation bead arrays and quantitative gene expression to...
