POU5F1 is a gene that encodes a transcription factor also known as Oct4.
OCT4 (Octamer-binding transcription factor 4) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in maintaining the pluripotency and self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. It is part of the core regulatory network that governs stem cell identity and is essential for the early stages of development.
OCT4 is often expressed in cancer stem cells, which are a subpopulation of cells within tumors that possess the ability to self-renew and drive tumorigenesis. The presence of OCT4 in these cells is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and resistance to conventional therapies.

Pancreatic Cancer: Hypoxia (low oxygen tension) is commonly found in solid tumors. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1),is a key mediator of the cellular response to hypoxia and is overexpressed in a wide variety of solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer.
Nanog is highly expressed in CSCs compared to normal cells [93–97]
