Characterisation of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Stem Cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) is propagated by cancer stem cells which are identified by their ability to efflux dye and hence reside in the side population (SP) on FACS analysis. In order to understand the origins of these ALCL SP cells we purified SP and main population (MP; SP-depleted) cell from the ALCL cell line SUDHL-1. On comparison of the gene expression signatures derived from these 2 cellular populations distinct branches dividing the SP and MP populations present indicating that they are distinct subsets within the bulk tumour. We sought to obtain pure populations of SP and MP cells from human SUDHL-1 Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) cell line. SUDHL-1 cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 dye, analysed using MoFlo Cell Sorter with UV lasers. The cells were then sorted in triplicates and subjected to RNA extraction. The extracted RNA was subjected to gene expression microarray using the Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array.
