Intestinal Stem Cell Markers in the Intestinal Metaplasia of Stomach and Barrett’s Esophagus
21 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
Gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a highly prevalent preneoplastic lesion; however, the molecular mechanisms regulating its development remain unclear. We have previously shown that a population of cells expressing the intestinal stem cell (ISC) marker LGR5 increases remarkably in IM. In this study, we further investigated the molecular characteristics of these LGR5+ cells in IM by examining the expression...
