Differential miRNA Expression Contributes to Emergence of Multiple Cancer Stem Cell Subpopulations in Human Colorectal Cancer
Author(s): Victoria A. Stark, Caroline O. B. Facey, Lynn M. Opdenaker, Jeremy Z. Fields and Bruce M. Boman*
One reason for lack of efficacy in cancer therapeutics is tumor heterogeneity. We hypothesize that tumor heterogeneity arises due to emergence of multiple Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) subpopulations because miRNAs regulate expression of stem cell genes in CSCs. Our goal was to determine if: i) multiple CSC subpopulations exist in a human CRC cell population, and ii) miRNAs are differentially expressed in the different CSC subpopulations. We discovered that at least four different CSC populations (ALDH1, CD166, LGR5, and LRIG1) exist in the HT29 cell line. CSC subpopulations were quantified using co-staining for multiple stem cell markers, isolated using FACS, and analyzed by NanoString miRNA profiling. The miRNA expression pattern in each CSC subpopulation was analyzed relative to miRNA expression patterns in other CSC subpopulations. Messenger RNAs predicted to be targeted by the up-regula..
