Isolation and identification of CD133+ colon cancer stem cells from colon cancer cell line HCT116
Objective To isolate colon cancer stem cells from human colon cancer cell line HCT116 and observe their biological characteristics in vitro. Methods The expression of CD133 in HCT116 cells was investigated by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. they were isolated with magnetic beads
then they were cultured in serum-free medium for their proliferation in vitro. Stem sphere was induced to differentiate by serum-containing medium and the expression of CK20 was investigated by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expressions of CD133
MDR1 and ABCG2 were detected by RT-PCR. Results A few CD133
+
cells existed
in HCT116 cells. CD133
+
cells could be enriched by magnetic isolation and had typical characteristics of stem cells. The percentage of CD133
+
cells after isolation was 91.92%. And those cells expressed MDR1 and ABCG2. Conclusion CD133
+
cells that cultured in vitro possess the capabilities of generation
self-renewing and differentiation as normal stem cells. They also express drug resistance associated-proteins such as ABCG2.
