Nestin Delineates Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells in Metastatic Foci of NOD/Shi-scid IL2Rγnull (NOG) Mice
9 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with a high incidence of hepatic metastases, as well as occasional pulmonary metastases. To delineate the potential role of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in PDAC metastasis, human PDAC cells were injected into the spleen of mice. The characteristics and expression of markers associated with CSC and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of metastatic cells that...
