Cancer stem cell markers

Loss of prostate cancer differentiation or de-differentiation leads to an untreatable disease. Patient survival would benefit if this can be prevented or reversed. Cancer de-differentiation transforms luminal-like (differentiated) adenocarcinoma into less luminal-like and more stem-like (undifferentiated) small cell carcinoma through a sequential activation of stem cell transcription factors (scTF) POU5F1, LIN28A, SOX2 and NANOG.

The result showed that only 6% single cancer cells developed into tumorspheres during culture process. Then, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis was carried out to evaluate the expression of CSC markers CD44 and ALDH in samples taken from tumorspheres which arose from gastric CSCs. The results showed that gastric CSCs formed tumorspheres in 3D culture condition with a high expression of 92% and 40,1% for markers CD44 and ALDH, respectively.
