Abstract:
Objective To analysis the malignant performance characteristics of tumor stem cell-like side popula-tion cells in patients with cervical cancer. Methods The cervical cancer cells were obtained from surgical resection tumor tissue. The tumor stem cell-like side population cells were isolated by flow cytometry. The cell growth curve was drawn by MTT assay. The invasion ability of tumor cells was compared by transwell assay. The clonogenic capacity was detected by clone formation in soft agar. The expression level of ABCG2 protein, a drug-resistant gene, was detected by immunofluores-cence method. Finally, these cells were transplated into the subcutaneous of de thymus mice. The rate of tumor formation was compared between groups. Results The results from flow cytometry assay showed the percentage of cervical cancer stem cell-like side population cells was 1.39%. Compared with the non-side population cells, the side population cells grow quickly, showed the enhanced invasion ability and colony forming ability. There was more high expression level in ABCG 2 protein of side population cells. The tumor form rate was 100%(10/10) in the side population cells and the non-side popula-tion cells was 20%(2/10). Conclusion The cervical cancer stem cell-like side population cells have more malignant perfor-mance characteristics than that of non-side population cells, which maybe a core target for cancer gene therapy in the future.
