The presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and the induction of
epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumors are associated with tumor
aggressiveness, metastasis, drug resistance, and poor prognosis, necessitating
the development of reagents for unambiguous detection of CSC- and EMT-associated
proteins in tumor specimens. To this end, we generated novel antibodies to EMT-
and CSC-associated proteins, including Goosecoid, Sox9, Slug, Snail, and CD133.
Importantly, unlike several widely used antibodies to CD133, the anti-CD133
antibodies we generated recognize epitopes distal to known glycosylation sites,
enabling analyses that are not confounded by differences in CD133 glycosylation.
For all target proteins, we selected antibodies that yielded the expected target
protein molecular weights by Western analysis and the correct subcellular
localization patterns by immunofluorescence microscopy assay (IFA); binding
selectivity was verified by immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry and by
immunohistochemistry and IFA peptide blocking experiments. Finally, we applied
these reagents to assess modulation of the respective markers of EMT and CSCs in
xenograft tumor models by IFA. We observed that the constitutive presence of
human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) in the tumor microenvironment of H596
non-small cell lung cancer tumors implanted in homozygous hHGF knock-in
transgenic mice induced a more mesenchymal-like tumor state (relative to the
epithelial-like state when implanted in control SCID mice), as evidenced by the
elevated expression of EMT-associated transcription factors detected by our novel
antibodies. Similarly, our new anti-CD133 antibody enabled detection and
quantitation of drug-induced reductions in CD133-positive tumor cells following
treatment of SUM149PT triple-negative breast cancer xenograft models with the
CSC/focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor VS-6063. Thus, our novel antibodies to
CSC- and EMT-associated factors exhibit sufficient sensitivity and selectivity
for immunofluorescence microscopy studies of these processes in preclinical
xenograft tumor specimens and the potential for application with clinical
samples.
