Identification of Cancer Stem Cell–Like Side Population Cells in Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cell Line

Abstract excerpt

Side population (SP) cells have been isolated from several solid tumors. They lack distinct molecular markers for cancer stem cells (CSC) and increasing evidence suggests that they may play an important role in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy. However, there are no reports about the existence and function of SP cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells thus far. In this study, we scanned SP cells from five...
