Abstract excerpt
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) originate from Hedgehog/Patched signaling-activated epidermal stem cells. However, the chemically induced tumorigenesis of mice with a CD4Cre-mediated biallelic loss of the Hedgehog signaling repressor Patched also induces BCC formation. Here, we identified the cellular origin of CD4Cre-targeted BCC progenitors as rare Keratin 5+ epidermal cells and show that wildtype Patched offspring...
