BACKGROUND:Gastric cancer stem cels involved in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and conventional treatment are closely associated with relapse of gastric cancer. However, this conclusion has not yet been confirmed.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of gastric cancer stem cels in tumor invasion and metastasis and its effect on angiogenesis ability.
METHODS:We prepared nude mouse models of gastric cancer to isolate and culture gastric cancer stem cels. Harvested gastric cancer stem cels were detected in cel scratch test, ring test, inhibition rate test, cel migration test and tumorigenicity test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 7 days of culture, the cels exhibited adherent growth but a lack of regularity that most cels were in a tadpole shape. In the cel scratch test, the scratch width was significantly different at 0 and 24 hours (P < 0.05). Under an inverted microscope, the cels were found to form a ring in the ring test. The 50% inhibiting concentration of gastric cancer stem cels induced by oxaliplatin was significantly lower than that induced by 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). The number of cels passing through the basilar membrane was significantly increased after cel migration (P < 0.05). After implantation of gastric cancer stem cels, the gastric tissue quality was significantly higher than that in normal nude mice of gastric cancer (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that gastric cancer stem cels responsible for tumor invasion and migration have stronger angiogenesis ability.
