Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to find a better method for enriching cancer stem cells (CSCs) from a laryngeal cancer cell line using specific cell sorting techniques.
  • Researchers used fluorescence activated cell sorting to isolate CD133(+)SP and CD133(-)SP subpopulations from the Hep-2 cell line, examining their growth and resistance to treatment.
  • Results showed that CD133(+)SP cells, despite being a small fraction, demonstrated significantly faster proliferation, greater resistance to chemotherapy, and superior CSC-like properties compared to CD133(-)SP cells, indicating their potential for further research in laryngeal cancer.

Objective: To detect the expression of CD133 in human established larynx tumors cell line, Hep-2 cell line and observe tumorigenicity of CD133(+) tumorigenic cells, CD133(-) tumorigenic cells and unsorted Hep-2 cells in vivo. The marker of cancer stem cells in Hep-2 cell line was explored.

Methods: Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of putative tumor-initiating cell marker CD133 in Hep-2 cell line.
