A non-hierarchical organization of tumorigenic NG2 cells in glioblastoma promoted by EGFR
2018
Background
Expression of neuron-glial antigen 2 (NG2) identifies an aggressive malignant phenotype in glioblastoma (GBM). Mouse models have implicated NG2 in the genesis, evolution, and maintenance of glial cancers and have highlighted potential interactions between NG2 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). However, it is unknown whether the lineage relationship of NG2+ and NG2− cells follows a hierarchical or stochastic mode of growth. Furthermore, the interaction between NG2 and EGFR signaling in human GBM is also unclear.
