Relative to normal endothelial cells (HUVEC), GLUT1High HemSCs were characterized by higher expression of genes involved in vasculogenesis/angiogenesis, normal and tumor development (e.g. Angiogenesis, “Angiocrine”26, Stem Cell, TGFβ, Notch, HIFs, Tyrosine Kinases, Hypoxia Signaling, Tumor Metastasis, MAP Kinases, NFκB, PI3K-AKT, Homeobox, Ubiquitin-Ring/Zinc Finger domain). This evidence concerns the gene LBX1 and metastasis.
