Sox2 Promotes Malignancy in Glioblastoma by Regulating Plasticity and Astrocytic Differentiation
1 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
The high-mobility group-box transcription factor sex-determining region Y-box 2 (Sox2) is essential for the maintenance of stem cells from early development to adult tissues. Sox2 can reprogram differentiated cells into pluripotent cells in concert with other factors and is overexpressed in various cancers. In glioblastoma (GBM), Sox2 is a marker of cancer stemlike cells (CSCs) in neurosphere cultures and is...
