OCT4 Potentiates Radio-Resistance and Migration Activity of Rectal Cancer Cells by Improving Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in a ZEB1 Dependent Manner
Radiotherapy is an important strategy for rectal cancer patient treatment. However, the efficiency of radiation is usually poor, especially in patients with advanced stage rectal cancer due to the radio-resistance developed. At the present study, OCT4 was found to play a critical role in radio-resis...
