Research Abstract

We are pursuing the hypothesis that slowly cycling and rapidly cycling intestinal stem cells exhibit distinctly different responses to tumor initiating signals. Preliminary results indicate that adenoma formation does not arise from slowly cycling (quiescent) stem cells. Ongoing work is focused on defining the mechanism underlying this tumor suppressor state, including analysis of gene expression and microRNA signatures.

Comparative analysis of rapidly and slowly cycling stem cells will provide unique insight into the mechanisms regulating the initial steps of cancer initiation.
