Drug resistance is one of the major characteristics of cancer stem cells (CSCs) and a mechanism of tumor recurrence. Therefore, selectively targeting CSCs may be an effective therapeutic strategy to overcome cancer recurrence. In the present study, we found that exposure to tumorigenic compounds significantly increased the growth potential and stem-cell-like properties of various CSCs. Early-response genes involved in tumorigenesis can be used as specific markers to predict potential tumorigenicity. Importantly, for the first time we identified, a labile tumorigenic response gene-SERPINB2-and showed that tumorigenic compound exposure more profoundly affected its expression in CSCs than in non-stem cancer cells, although both cells exhibit basal expression of SERPINB2 in multiple cancer types. Our data also revealed a strong relationship between the significantly enhanced expression of SERPINB2 and metastatic progression in multiple cancer types. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to focus on the functions of SERPINB2 in the tumorigenicity of various CSCs and these findings will facilitate the development of promising tumorigenicity test platforms.
