abstract

background cancer stem cells play crucial roles in resistance to therapeutic schemes and relapse of disease, so it is important to find targeted therapies that kill them selectively. breast cancer is the most common cancer in females living in all part of the world including iran and it has an important burden in public health with direct impact on patients’ families. breast cancer in young adults occurs in iran more frequently than western countries and they usually show higher aggressiveness and poor prognosis. it is postulated that such cancers are consisted of stem cell like cells, so called cancer stem cells that confer severe aggressiveness and poor prognosis. the current study was sought to find of a good in vitro model of cancer stem cells that might be a shortcut to better understanding of molecular events in them and may leads us to find new opportunities for molecular manipulations and design of new therapeutics.  methods: four breast cancer cell lines, mcf-7 ، t47d ، mda-mb231 and mda-mb468 were purchased from national cell bank of iran based in iran pasture institute and were cultured in high glucose dmem supplemented with 10% fcs. cells were stained with anticd44-pe and anticd24-fitc antibodies and status of cd44 and cd24 as markers of breast cancer stem cells were evaluated using flow cytometer and fluorescent microscopy.evaluation of cd44 and cd24 as markers of breast cancer stem cells showed that mda-mb231 with 97±1.2% cd44+/cd24-/low cells is significantly different from the others that they were mainly cd44 and cd24 positive cells(p<0.01). conclusion: the current study showed that mda-mb231 breast cancer cell line is the only one among common breast cancer cell lines that could be used as breast cancer stem cell line. the findings are in close agreement with a few studies that were reported earlier. keywords: stem cell markers, breast cancer, cd44/cd24.

Cancer Stem Cell Markers CD44, CD133 in Primary Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are unique subpopulations that have the capacity to drive malignant progression with renewal abilities. Recently the role of some of CSCs in gastric adenocarcinoma has been studied. This study was performed in order to evaluate CD44 and CD133 expressions by immunohistochemistry in 95 primary gastric adenocarcinoma and their relation to clinical and pathological paramete...

cancer stem cell markers

cancer stem cells (csc) are the tumor-associated cells existed within tumors or hematological cancers which share characteristics similar to normal stem cells. the common characteristics of a normal stem cell and a csc are their differentiation capacity and self-renewal in tumors. the expression pattern of csc markers differs depending on the type and location of cancers. cd molecules are proba...

Stem Cell in Breast Milk

Tissue-engineered biomaterials have existed approximately 40 years as simple biomimetic structures. Replacement of human tissue with new tissue can be accomplished by generating replacements outside of the body or in situ in the body. In each case, the key elements are described as the tissue engineering triad of scaffolds, cells, and signals. Scaffolds can be produced synthetically or derived ...

Cell Kinetic Study of Tamoxifen Treated MCF-7 and MDA-MB 468 Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Apoptosis could be a major mechanism of antitumor effect of tamoxifen. Therefore this study is designed to characterize the kinetic behavior of tamoxifen-induced apoptosis in the estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and negative (ER-) cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468. Frequency of cell death was examined by trypan blue and acridine orange staining. Annexin V-Fluorescein/PI was used in flow cytometr...

Expression of Some Genes Involved in Epigenetic in Breast Cancer Cell Lines: The Effect of Quercetin

Background & Objectives: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Incorrect pattern of gene expression involved in epigenetic including APOBEC3B, DNMT-1, and TET-1 can develop breast cancer. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties that have been reported in other studies. To investigate the effect mechanism of quercetin, this study examin...
