Metastasis of colon cancer requires Dickkopf-2 to generate cancer cells with Paneth cell properties
2024-04-15
Abstract excerpt
Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Paneth cells provide stem cell niche factors in homeostatic conditions, but the underlying mechanisms of cancer stem cell niche development are unclear. Here we report that Dickkopf-2 (DKK2) is essential for the generation of cancer cells with Paneth cell properties during colon cancer metastasis. Splenic injection of Dkk2 -knockout (KO) cancer organoid...
