SOX2 Is a Marker for Stem-like Tumor Cells in Bladder Cancer
1 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that functionally distinct cancer stem cells (CSCs) exist in human bladder cancer (BCa). Here, we found that Sox2, a transcription factor that is well characterized as a marker for stem cells, is upregulated in both mouse and human BCa. Sox2 expression is absent in normal urothelial cells, but it begins to be expressed in pre-neoplastic bladder tumors and continues to be expressed in invasive...
