Based on the facts that CAFs are enriched in the breast cancer microenvironment and can induce EMT in breast cancer cells [12] and that BMP2 is elevated in primary breast cancer tissues [19], we hypothesized that the ectopically co-expressed BRGs may be derived from epithelial cancer cells that have undergone EMT and acquired cancer stem cells (CSCs) properties, followed by BMP2 induction in the tumor microenvironment. The gene discussed is BMP2; the disease is breast carcinoma.
