1 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: OCT4 is a key regulator of self-renewal and pluripotency in embryonic stem cells which can potentially encode three spliced variants designated OCT4A, OCT4B and OCT4B1. Based on cancer stem cell concept, it is suggested that the stemness factors misexpressed in cancer cells and potentially is involved in tumorigenesis. OBJECTIVE: Accordingly, in this study, we investigated the potential expression of...
