Expression and Clinicopathological Significance of Notch Signaling and Cell-Fate Genes in Biliary Tract Cancer
20 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a fatal cancer originating from epithelial cells of the intra- and extra-hepatic biliary duct system and the gallbladder. Genes and pathways regulating stem and progenitor cells as well as cell-fate decisions are increasingly recognized in tumorigenesis. We evaluated the expression of Notch1, Notch2, and HES1 (hairy and enhancer of split 1), as well as the biliary...
