Identification and isolation of breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) based on
CD44/CD24 expression and/or enzymatic activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1
(ALDH1). However, the differences among the CD44+/CD24?/low cells, ALDH1+ cells
and the overlap between the sub?populations have not been frequently
investigated. Thus, it is imperative to improve the understanding of breast CSC
with different stem markers. CD44+/CD24?/low, ALDH1+ and ALDH1+CD44+/CD24?/low
cell populations were isolated from fresh breast cancer tissues and analyzed by
flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Mammosphere formation, cell proliferation
assay and Transwell experiments, were used to analyze self?renewal, proliferation
and invasion, respectively, for each sub?population. Finally, in vivo
experimentation in mice was performed to evaluate the tumorigenic abilities of
the sub?populations. The sub?populations of CD44+/CD24?/low, ALDH1+ and
ALDH1+CD44+/CD24?/low in human breast cancer cells, represented the 7.2, 4.6 and
1.5% of the total tumor cell population, respectively. ALDH1+CD44+/CD24?/low
cells had the strongest ability of self?renewal, invasion, proliferation and
tumorigenicity compared with the other sub?populations (P<0.05). In conclusion,
different phenotypes of CD44+/CD24?/low, ALDH1+ and ALDH1+CD44+/CD24?/low were
isolated and demonstrated that breast CSCs are heterogeneous, and they exhibit
distinct biological characteristics. As ALDH1+CD44+/CD24?/low cells demonstrated
the strongest stem?like properties, it may be a useful specific stem cell marker.
The utilization of more reliable biomarkers to distinguish the breast CSC pool
will be important for the development of specific target therapies for breast
cancer.
