Another initial study was based on the characterization of prostate cancer stem cells in immortalized human epithelial prostate cells from primary tumors: these cells do not express AR or p63, express embryonic stem cell and early progenitor cell markers and when inoculated under the renal capsule of male SCID mice, recapitulate the original tumor with multipotential differentiation [522]. The gene discussed is AR; the disease is prostate cancer.
