Abstract:Objective: To establish high/low invasion liver cancer stem cells (H/L-ILCSCs) model from human liver cancer cell line HCCLM3, and compare their biological properties with HCCLM3 and HL-7702 cells. Methods: ①Transwell immigration assay was used to separate high/low immigration HCCLM3 cells, then the high/low invasion HCCLM3 cells were isolated from high/low immigration HCCLM3 cells by Transwell invasion assay. ②H/L-ILCSCs were isolated from CD133+ high/low invasion HCCLM3 cells using magnetic activated cell sorting. ③The expression of cancer stem cell markers CD133+, CD90+ and CD44+ were detected in H-ILCSCs, L-ILCSCs, HCCLM3 and HL-7702 cells. ④The proliferation, invasion, clonal sphere formation and tumorigenicity were investigated by CCK-8 assay, Transwell invasion assay, monoclonal sphere formation and transplanted tumor formation assay in nude mice in H-ILCSCs, L-ILCSCs, HCCLM3 and HL-7702 cells. Results: High expression levels of cancer stem cell markers CD133+, CD90+ and CD44+ in H-ILCSCs, but high expression levels of CD133+ and low expression levels of CD90+ and CD44+ in L-ILCSCs. The abilities of proliferation, invasion, clonal sphere formation and tumorigenicity in L-ILCSCs, HCCLM3 and HL-7702 cells were lower than in H-ILCSCs. The abilities of proliferation and invasion in L-ILCSCs were lower than in HCCLM3 cells. Besides, stem cell spheres and nude mouse transplanted tumor couldn’t be established in L-ILCSCs cells. Conclusion: H/L-ILCSCs can be isolated and expanded from HCCLM3 cells, and both cells exhibit distinct biological properties.
