PDGFRA Defines the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Kaposi’s Sarcoma Progenitors by Enabling KSHV Oncogenesis in an Angiogenic Environment
2019-10-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is an AIDS-defining cancer caused by the KS-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Unanswered questions regarding KS are its cellular ontology and the conditions conducive to viral oncogenesis. We identify PDGFRA(+)/SCA-1(+) bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Pα(+)S MSCs) as KS spindle-cell progenitors and found that pro-angiogenic environmental conditions typical of KS ar...
