ALDH1A1+ ovarian cancer stem cells co-expressing surface markers CD24, EPHA1 and CD9 form tumours in vivo

One of the reasons for recurrence following treatment of high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the persistence of residual cancer stem cells (CSCs). There has been variability between laboratories in the identification of CSC markers for HGSOC. We have identified new surface markers (CD24,...

Description
Summary:One of the reasons for recurrence following treatment of high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the persistence of residual cancer stem cells (CSCs). There has been variability between laboratories in the identification of CSC markers for HGSOC. We have identified new surface markers (CD24, CD9 and EPHA1) in addition to those previously known (CD44, CD117 and CD133) using a bioinformatics approach. The expression of these surface markers was evaluated in ovarian cancer cell lines, primary malignant cells (PMCs), normal ovary and HGSOC. There was no preferential expression of any of the markers or a combination. All the markers were expressed at variable levels in ovarian cancer cell lines and PMCs. Only CD117 and CD9 were expressed in the normal ovarian surface epithelium and fallopian tube. Both ALDEFLUOR (ALDH1A1) and side population assays identified a small proportion of cells (
