ABSTRACT

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is maintained by putative colorectal cancer stem-like cells (CRC-CSCs) that are responsible for CRC metastasis and relapse. Targeting these CSCs can be an effective treatment of CRC. However, reliable identification of CRC-CSCs remains controversial due to the absence of specific markers. It is assumed that glycoprotein CD133 can serve as a useful marker for identification of CRC-CSCs. In this study, we employed CD133 as a marker to identify CRC-CSCs in human (LoVo, HCT116, and SW620) and mouse (CT26) CRC cell lines. In these lines, CD133+ cells were isolated and identified by magnetic-activated cell sorting and flow cytometry. Proliferation, colony formation, and drug resistance of CD133+ cells were analyzed in vitro, and their tumorigenicity was determined in vivo on mice. Proliferation, colony-forming ability, drug resistance, and tumorigenicity of CD133+ cells were higher than those of CD133- cells. Thus, cultured CD133+ cells had the characteristics of CSCs. Hence, glycoprotein CD133 is a reliable marker to identify CRC-CSCs. These results can be used for designing a novel therapeutic target in CRC treatment.

ABSTRACT

In this study, we explored the relationship between the circulating tumor cells (CTC) and the CTC-cancer stem cells (CSC) in the patients with breast cancer. The magnetic-activated cell separation (MACS) method and flow cytometry (FCM) for selection of epithelial cells from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were used to analyze the enriched epithelial cells that were labeled with anti-cytokeratin(CK)-fluorescein isothiocyanate, anti-CD44-phycoerythrin (PE) and anti-CD24-PE, respectively. The CK+ cells were attributed to CTC and the CK+CD44+ CD24-/low cells were thought as to CTC-CSC in 26 breast cancer patients, respectively. Our results showed the CK+ tumor cells were detected in 19 of 26 patients, with the CK+ tumor cells varying from 0.11% to 5.42 %. The CTC-CSC were identified in 18 of the 19 patients with CTC and the percentage of CTC-CSC in CTC was 19.01%. The results yet suggested the breast cancer patients with high-rate CK+ tumor cells were at the advanced tumor node metastases (TNM) stage III, and the patients with low-rate CK+ cells were at the modest TNM stage I. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.001). We concluded that there is a significant relationship between CTC and CTC-CSC, but not among TNM stages, in breast cancer metastasis.
