CD133+ cells contain cancer stem cell-like properties in Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor (Carcinosarcoma) of the Uterus


ABSTRACT: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) that display tumor-initiating properties have recently been identified. We herein identify and characterize CSCs in human uterine carcinosarcoma, a highly aggressive and therapy-resistant gynecologic malignancy, which is considered to be of mesodermal origin. FU-MMT-1, a cell-line, which was established by us (Emoto M, Cancer 1992) from a patient with uterine carcinosarcoma, was evaluated. FU-MMT-1 contained a high population of CD133, CD44, CD90, and CD29 positive cells. Using the magnetic bead cell separation method, we isolated CD133+ cells, which predominantly form spheres in culture. These CD133+ cells form transplantable tumors in vivo. A qRT-PCR analysis of the genes implicated in stem cell maintenance revealed that CD133+ cells express significantly higher levels of OCT4, NANOG, and BMI-1 than CD133M-oM-
