Aldehyde Dehydrogenase–Expressing Colon Stem Cells Contribute to Tumorigenesis in the Transition from Colitis to Cancer
Cancer Research, 10/27/09

Carpentino JE et al. – Patients with chronic ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Although current hypotheses suggest that sporadic colorectal cancer is due to inability to control cancer stem cells, the cancer stem cell hypothesis has not yet been validated in colitis–associated cancer. These data link colitis and cancer identifying potential tumor–initiating cells from colitic patients, suggesting that sphere and/or xenograft formation will be useful to survey colitic patients at risk of developing cancer.
