Epithelial?to?mesenchymal transition (EMT) confers stem cell?like phenotype and
more motile properties to carcinoma cells. During EMT, the expression of
E?cadherin decreases, resulting in loss of cell?cell adhesion and increased
migration. Expression of Twist1 and other pleiotropic transcription factors, such
as Snail, is known to activate EMT. We established primary colon cancer cell
cultures from samples of operated patients and validated cultures by cytogenetic
and molecular biology approaches. Western blot assay, quantitative real?time PCR
and immunofluorescence were performed to investigate the expression of
E?cadherin, vimentin, ??catenin, cytokeratin?20 and ?18, Twist1, Snail, CD44,
cyclooxygenase?2 (COX2), Sox2, Oct4 and Nanog. Moreover, cell differentiation was
induced by incubation with LiCl?containing medium for 10 days. We observed that
these primary colorectal cancer (CRC) cells lost expression of the E?cadherin
epithelial marker, which was instead expressed in cancer and normal colon mucosa
of the same patient, while overexpressed vimentin (mesenchymal marker), Twist1,
Snail (EMT markers) and COX2. Cytokeratin?18 was expressed both in tissues and
cell cultures. Expression of stem cell markers, such as CD44, Oct4 and Nanog,
were also observed. Following differentiation with the glycogen synthase kinase
3? (GSK3?) inhibitor LiCl, the cells began to express E?cadherin and, at once,
Twist1 and Snail expression was strongly downregulated, suggesting a
MET?reverting process. In conclusion, we established primary colon mesenchymal
cancer cell cultures expressing mesenchymal and epithelial biomarkers together
with high level of EMT transcription factors. We propose that they could
represent a good model for studying EMT and its reverting mechanism, the
mesenchymal?to?epithelial transition (MET). Our observation indicates that LiCl,
a GSK3? inhibitor, induces MET in vitro, suggesting that LiCl and GSK3? could
represent, respectively, interesting drug, and target for CRC therapy.
