Notch activation in antral stem cells induces tumorigenesis. In the mouse, NICD activation in an LGR5+ stem cell (green) at the gland base results in increased stem cell proliferation and number followed by antral gland fission. This leads to overall tissue expansion and eventual tumorigenesis. Such tumors are hyperproliferative and undifferentiated, expressing stem and progenitor cell markers.
