Relapse and metastasis are frequent in colon cancer and may be linked to stem cell characteristics. This study isolated side population (SP) cells from a colon cancer cell line (Colo-320) and examined their self-renewal and differentiation abilities. Compared to non-SP (NSP) cells, SP colon cancer cells were more tumorigenic in vivo and exhibited more invasive characteristics and a greater ability to form colonies. Additionally, more cells were in G/G phase and more highly expressed the multidrug resistance protein BCRP/ABCG2. We achieved enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity by transfecting SP cells with a hairpin-like, small interfering RNA (siRNA) eukaryotic expression plasmid targeting BCRP/ABCG2.
结肠癌中复发和转移很常见,可能与干细胞特性有关。本研究从结肠癌细胞系(Colo-320)中分离出侧群(SP)细胞,并检测了它们的自我更新和分化能力。与非SP(NSP)细胞相比,SP结肠癌细胞在体内具有更强的致瘤性,表现出更强的侵袭特性和更大的集落形成能力。此外,更多细胞处于G/G期,多药耐药蛋白BCRP/ABCG2的表达更高。我们通过用靶向BCRP/ABCG2的发夹状小干扰RNA(siRNA)真核表达质粒转染SP细胞,提高了化疗敏感性。
