The study found that different subtypes of ovarian cancer SP cells have varying levels of stemness, with the LSP cell subtype exhibiting higher stem cell marker expression, greater in vitro sphere-forming capability, increased cisplatin resistance, and enhanced in vivo tumorigenicity compared to USP cells. NSP cells showed no stemness characteristics.
The stemness of different side population (SP) cell subtypes in ovarian cancer cells was studied, and the heterogeneity of ovarian cancer stem cells was analyzed. The cisplatin-resistant human serous ovarian cancer cell line C13 was stained with the bisbenzimide Hoechst 33342. A flow cytometry-based fluorescence-activated sorting method was used to obtain lower-SP (LSP) cells, upper-SP (USP) cells, and non-SP cells (NSP) based on their sensitivity to the staining time and Hoechst dye concentration. The sphere-forming capability, expression levels of stem cell markers, resistance to high concentrations of cisplatin, and subcutaneous tumorigenicity in NOD/SCID mice of the different cell subtypes were evaluated. The C13 cells contained SP cells with stemness characteristics, and the LSP cell subtype expressed higher levels of stem cell markers, had higher in vitro sphere-forming capability, higher cisplatin resistance and higher in vivo subcutaneous tumorigenesis than USP cells (P<0.05). NSP cells had no stemness. In conclusion, different subtypes of ovarian cancer SP cells have different stemness levels, and ovarian cancer stem cells may be heterogeneous.
