INS and cancer: The expression of other factors potentially relevant for the biological behavior of the cancer cell was investigated (Table S3) including cell adhesion molecules (CD15, CD49a, CD49e, CD318, E-cadherin, CA19.9), receptors for growth factors (insulin, CD220; IGF-1, CD221; angiopoietin, Tie2; stem cell factor, CD117), modulators of microenvironment (CD142, CD200), markers of mesenchyme (CD73, CD166, CD105, CD31), and mesenchymal stemness (Stro-1, CD34).
