Mesenchymal splice isoform of CD44 (CD44s) promotes EMT/invasion and imparts stem‐like properties to ovarian cancer cells
11 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Increased metastasis and a precipitous recurrence contribute to the lethality of ovarian cancer (OC). Several molecular mechanisms including aberrant-splicing have been closely associated with the extent of cancer progression. Numerous gene transcripts are differentially spliced in cancer cells, CD44 being one of them. CD44 splice isoforms contribute to the aggressiveness and gain of stem-like properties in...
