Abstract
Background: Increasing and spreading out of cancer stem cells as spheroids were verified in our previous studies. But, capability of primary tumor-derived stem cells to keep their unique properties in vitro is still doubtful. So, the goal of this study was to segregate, expand and characterize the colon cancer-derived stem cells. Materials & Methods: In the present work, colon cancer stem cells indicators including CD44 and EPCAM in spheroid and maternal cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The appearance levels of stemness genes in both spheroid and parental cells were investigated using real-time PCR. Tumorigenic potential of spheroid cell was evaluated and used for the implantation of tumor xenografts into nude mice. Results: The earned data showed 75% of spheroids were CD44+/EpCAM+, while parental cells only expressed 18% of CD44/ EpCAM markers (p<0.01). In comparison with the parental cells, the expression levels of stemness genes, like Sox2, Oct4, Nanog, C-myc, and Klf4 were significantly increased in spheroid cells (p<0.05). Furthermore, as little as 1000 spheroid cells were sufficient to obtain tumor growth in nude mice, while 1x106 of parental cells was needed to generate tumor. Conclusion: Sphere formation test is a useful method to enhance cancer stem cells. Spheroid cells showed increasing manifestation of stemness genes and tumorigenic activity in nude mice.Biography
