Disruption of the crypt niche promotes outgrowth of mutated colorectal tumor stem cells
7 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Recent data establish a logarithmic expansion of leucine rich repeat containing G protein coupled receptor 5-positive (Lgr5+) colonic epithelial stem cells (CESCs) in human colorectal cancer (CRC). Complementary studies using the murine 2-stage azoxymethane-dextran sulfate sodium (AOM-DSS) colitis-associated tumor model indicate early acquisition of Wnt pathway mutations drives CESC expansion during adenoma...
