Abstract

Although all cells within a colon cancer may harbour adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) or Β-catenin mutations, activation of Wnt signalling is limited to a subpopulation of cells that display cancer stem cell properties. This activation requires a co-stimulatory signal mediated by hepatocyte growth factor, which is produced by tumour-associated myofibroblasts.
