BMP-2 inhibits the tumorigenicity of cancer stem cells in human osteosarcoma OS99-1 cell line
1 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Previously, based on high ALDH activity, we showed that cancer stem cells (CSCs) could be identified as ALDH(br) cells from an aggressive human osteosarcoma OS99-1 cell line. In this study, we evaluate the impact of BMP-2 on CSCs.Three types of BMP receptors were expressed in freshly sorted ALDH(br) cells. In vitro, growth of the sorted ALDH(br) cells was inhibited by BMP-2. Using RT-PCR analysis, BMP-2 was found...
