Glioma-initiating Cells Retain Their Tumorigenicity through Integration of the Sox Axis and Oct4 Protein
11 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
Although the concept of cancer stem cells or cancer-initiating cells had created a new paradigm for the treatment of malignant tumors, it remains unclear how cancer-initiating cells can be eradicated. We have previously reported that the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-Sox4-Sox2 pathway is essential for glioma-initiating cells to retain their stemness, and inhibition of TGF-β signaling may lead to...
