7 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Non-CG methylation has been associated with stemness regulation in embryonic stem cells. By comparing differentially expressed genes affected by non-CG methylation between tumour and corresponding non-tumour tissues in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we find that Integrin α7 ( ITGA7 ) is characterized as a potential cancer stem cell (CSC) marker. Clinical data show that a high frequency of...
