20 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in colorectal cancer stem cells (CCSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used the TU12 cell line possessing CD133-expressing CCSCs. After isolating CD133 (-) and CD133 (+) CCSCs, we overexpressed and knocked-down TGM2 to investigate its role in human CCSCs. RESULTS: The expression level of TGM2 was 25-fold higher in...
