Figure 7. In vivo plasticity model of human colon cancer initiation.

Figure 7

KRASmut induced high cellular plasticity with the embryonic-SC like program to transform human colon adenomas to carcinomas. Heatmap of selected embryonic SC genes showed low, moderate and high expressions in normal colon epithelia of colon crypt, colon adenomas and stage I colon carcinomas, respectively. Red, pink, light blue, and dark blue colors represent high, moderate, low, and lowest expression.
