BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) display cellular
heterogeneity and contain cancer stem cells (CSCs). Sex-determining region Y
[SRY]-box (SOX)2 is an important regulator of embryonic stem cell fate and is
aberrantly expressed in several types of human tumours. Nonetheless, the role of
SOX2 in HNSCC remains unclear. METHODS: We created cells ectopically expressing
SOX2 from previously established HNSCC cells and examined the cell proliferation,
self-renewal capacity, and chemoresistance of these cells compared with control
cells. In addition, we knocked down SOX2 in primary spheres obtained from HNSCC
tumour tissue and assessed the attenuation of stemness-associated traits in these
cells in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we examined the clinical relevance of
SOX2 expression in HNSCC patients. RESULTS: SOX2 is aberrantly expressed in
primary tissue of HNSCC patients but not in healthy tissue. SOX2 expression
correlated with tumour recurrence and poor prognosis of HNSCC patients. Ectopic
expression of SOX2 induced cell proliferation via cyclin B1 expression and
stemness-associated features, such as self-renewal and chemoresistance. In
addition, a knockdown of SOX2 in HNSCC CSCs attenuated their self-renewal
capacity, chemoresistance (through ABCG2 suppression), invasion capacity (via
snail downregulation), and in vivo tumorigenicity. CONCLUSIONS: These results
suggest that SOX2 may have important roles in the 'stemness' and progression of
HNSCC. Targeting SOX2-positive tumour cells (CSCs) could be a new therapeutic
strategy in HNSCCs.
