The Hoechst 33342 exclusion side population (SP) assay is a validated method used to identify cells with stem cell-like properties. When isolated from tumors, SP cells have been shown to have high malignant potential. SPs have been found in both carcinomas and sarcomas. The molecular profile of sarcoma SP is poorly understood. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether endosialin is a suitable therapeutic target for sarcomas. Six cell lines (HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, SJSA-1 and HOS osteosarcoma, A-673 and SK-ES-1 Ewing sarcoma) were used for the SP analysis. Flow cytometry was used to count and examine the cells. Results showed for the first time that endosialin (CD248), which was previously identified as a sarcoma marker, is expressed in sarcoma SP cells. This observation supports the hypothesis that endosialin is a promising therapeutic target for sarcomas.
Hoechst 33342 排斥侧群(SP)分析是一种用于鉴定具有干细胞样特性细胞的有效方法。当从肿瘤中分离出来时,SP细胞已被证明具有高恶性潜能。在癌和肉瘤中均发现了SP细胞。肉瘤SP细胞的分子特征了解甚少。本研究的目的是确定内涎蛋白是否是肉瘤的合适治疗靶点。使用六种细胞系(HT-1080纤维肉瘤、SJSA-1和HOS骨肉瘤、A-673和SK-ES-1尤因肉瘤)进行SP分析。采用流式细胞术对细胞进行计数和检测。结果首次表明,先前被鉴定为肉瘤标志物的内涎蛋白(CD248)在肉瘤SP细胞中表达。这一观察结果支持了内涎蛋白是肉瘤有前景的治疗靶点这一假说。
