Isolation and Identification of Cancer Stem-Like Cells in Esophageal Carcinoma Cell Lines
4 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Side population (SP) cells may play an important role in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy. We isolate and identify the cancer stem-like cells in human esophageal carcinoma (EC) cell lines, EC9706 and EC109 cells labeled with Hoechst 33342. Both the cell lines contained SP cells, and the cells that had the strongest dye efflux activity ("Tip"-SP cell) in EC9706 had higher clone formation efficiency than non-SP...
