Craniopharyngiomas Express Embryonic Stem Cell Markers (SOX2, OCT4, KLF4, and SOX9) as Pituitary Stem Cells but Do Not Coexpress RET/GFRA3 Receptors
27 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Adult stem cells maintain some markers expressed by embryonic stem cells and express other specific markers depending on the organ where they reside. Recently, stem/progenitor cells in the rodent and human pituitary have been characterized as expressing GFRA2/RET, PROP1, and stem cell markers such as SOX2 and OCT4 (GPS cells). OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to detect other specific markers of the pituitary...
