The recently suggested intestinal cancer stem cell marker<i>DCLK1</i>is an epigenetic biomarker for colorectal cancer
2 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Recently, Dclk1 expression was identified to be an intestinal cancer stem cell specific biomarker in mouse models, implicating a potential role for targeting the DCLK1-postive cancer cells as a treatment for colorectal cancer. Using quantitative methylation specific PCR (qMSP) we here demonstrated that the DCLK1 promoter is hypermethylated in the vast majority of colorectal cancers (134/164; 82%), with no...
