Genes Involved in the Transcriptional Regulation of Pluripotency Are Expressed in Malignant Tumors of the Uterine Cervix and Can Induce Tumorigenic Capacity in a Nontumorigenic Cel... by Graciela Ruiz, Heriberto A. Valencia-González, Delia Pérez-Montiel, Felipe Muñoz, Rodolfo Ocadiz-Delgado, Jorge Fernández-Retana, Carlos Pérez-Plasencia, Osbaldo Reséndis-Antonio, Patricio Gariglio, Alejandro García-Carrancá

“…Transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, C-MYC, and NANOG (OSKM-N) regulate pluripotency and stemness, and their ectopic expression reprograms human and murine fibroblasts that constitute the key of regenerative medicine. To determine their contribution to cell transformation, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of these transcription factors in cervical cancer samples and found that they are preferentially expressed in the tumor component. …”
