The FGF2-driven induction of several Wnt and TGF-β modulators in CSC-media cultured organoids correlates with gene-sets of colorectal adenomas compared to healthy mucosa or with an adult stem cell gene signature adding additional credence to our hypothesis that stem cell features of these tumour cells are dimished by FGFR-inhibition (Fig. 3H,I, Table S12)23,24. This evidence concerns the gene FGF2 and colorectal adenoma.
