الوصف: Cancer stem cells (CSC) drive tumour progression and are implicated in relapse and resistance to conventional cancer therapies. Identification of differentially expressed genes by gene expression (GEP) profiling may help identify the differentially activated signalling pathways in cancer stem cells as opposed to bulk tumour cells which will provide new insights into cancer stem cell biology and aid in identification of novel therapeutic targets. Our study focused on the inhibition of CSC from cervical cancer cell lines by targeting insulin-like growth factor (IGF), which was identified by differential GEP. Targeted inhibition of IGF-1 by JB-1 trifluoroacetate (inhibitor of IGF) was carried out in SiHa, RSBS-14 and RSBS-43 cervical cancer derived cell lines. Effect of cisplatin was also evaluated. Inhibition of IGF-1 signalling was confirmed by demonstration of reduction in p-Akt levels. The cell biological effects of IGF-1 inhibition included an increase in G2M/S fraction, increased apoptosis and decreased invasive ability. JB-1 and cisplatin showed synergism. However, transcript levels of stemness and EMT markers showed variable levels following IGF inhibition. Overall, this proof-of-concept study has shown that IGF-1 is an attractive target for inhibition of CSC in invasive cervical cancer.

الوصف: Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common kidney neoplasm and requires an early diagnosis because of poor response to conventional cancer treatments. However, till date, there is no reliable tumor marker available for the diagnosis of RCC. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression of speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) as a biomarker in patients with RCC. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from fifty patients with RCC and ten healthy controls. Tumor tissue samples were obtained from nephrectomy specimen. Adjoining normal renal parenchyma of these fifty patients and eight normal renal tissue samples from normal kidney served as controls. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay was performed for SPOP and mammalian target of rapamycin expression. Results: SPOP was significantly increased in blood of patients with RCC as compared to controls (0.754 ± 0.32 vs. 0.224 ± 0.14; P < 0.001). Twenty-two patients (44%) had SPOP value more than mean + 2 standard deviation (SD) of controls. In RCC tissue, 42 (84%) patients had increased expression of SPOP more than 0.523 (mean + 2 SD value of SPOP expression in controls). SPOP expression was high in blood of 60% patients and in tumor tissue of 90% patients with clear cell RCC. SPOP was higher in high grade and high stage of RCC. Conclusions: Our result suggests that SPOP expression in blood might have a sensitivity that is low for routine diagnostic use and for screening for RCC. However, SPOP could be a potential tissue diagnostic biomarker in RCC.

الوصف: Background Cervical cancer is a major cause of cancer-related mortality in women in the developing world. Cancer Stem cells (CSC) have been implicated in treatment resistance and metastases development; hence understanding their significance is important. Methods Primary culture from tissue biopsies of invasive cervical cancer and serial passaging was performed for establishing cell lines. Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) assay was performed for comparison of cell lines with their parental tissue. Tumorsphere and Aldefluor assays enabled isolation of cancer stem cells (CSC); immunofluorescence and flow cytometry were performed for their surface phenotypic expression in cell lines and in 28 tissue samples. Quantitative real-time PCR for stemness and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, MTT cytotoxicity assay, cell cycle analysis and cell kinetic studies were performed. Results Four low-passage novel cell lines designated RSBS-9, − 14 and − 23 from squamous cell carcinoma and RSBS-43 from adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix were established. All were HPV16+. VNTR assay confirmed their uniqueness and derivation from respective parental tissue. CSC isolated from these cell lines showed CD133+ phenotype. In tissue samples of untreated invasive cervical cancer, CD133+ CSCs ranged from 1.3–23% of the total population which increased 2.8-fold in radiation-resistant cases. Comparison of CD133+ with CD133− bulk population cells revealed increased tumorsphere formation and upregulation of stemness and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers with no significant difference in cisplatin sensitivity. Conclusion Low-passage cell lines developed would serve as models for studying tumor biology. Cancer Stem Cells in cervical cancer display CD133+ phenotype and are increased in relapsed cases and hence should be targeted for achieving remission.
