Sonic Hedgehog Pathway Is Essential for Maintenance of Cancer Stem-Like Cells in Human Gastric Cancer
4 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Abnormal activation of the Sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway has been described in a wide variety of human cancers and in cancer stem cells (CSCs), however, the role of SHH pathway in gastric CSCs has not been reported. In this study, we investigated the possibility that abnormal activation of the SHH pathway maintained the characteristics of gastric CSCs. First, we identified cancer stem-like cells (CSLCs) from human...
