RSPO2 Enhances Canonical Wnt Signaling to Confer Stemness-Associated Traits to Susceptible Pancreatic Cancer Cells
13 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
Cancer stem cells (CSC) present a formidable clinical challenge by escaping therapeutic intervention and seeding tumors through processes that remain incompletely understood. Here, we describe small subpopulations of pancreatic cancer cells with high intrinsic Wnt activity (Wnt(high)) that possess properties indicative of CSCs, including drug resistance and tumor-initiating capacity, whereas cell populations with...
