All PDGCAs expressed markers of tumor epithelial and stem cells (EPCAM, CDH1, KRT18, CA9, CD24, CD133), stromal and extracellular matrix components (COL3A1, COL5A1, DCN, PDGFRA, and PDGFRB), and mesenchymal stem cells (CD73, CD105, CD90) (Figure 6a,b). This evidence concerns the gene DCN and neoplasm.
