Sox2 Is Required to Maintain Cancer Stem Cells in a Mouse Model of High-Grade Oligodendroglioma
5 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
The stem cell-determining transcription factor Sox2 is required for the maintenance of normal neural stem cells. In this study, we investigated the requirement for Sox2 in neural cancer stem-like cells using a conditional genetic deletion mutant in a mouse model of platelet-derived growth factor-induced malignant oligodendroglioma. Transplanting wild-type oligodendroglioma cells into the brain generated lethal...
