Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to isolate thyroid cancer stem cells and examine whether the sensitivity of the cancer stem cells to radioiodine is different from non-cancer stem cells. First, we established an efficient screening system to evaluate markers for thyroid cancer stem cells. Using this system, we were able to identify candidate markers such as ALDH1 activity and CD326. However, they were not universal markers in all types of thyroid cancers. To characterize the sorted subpopulations, radiosensitivity of each fraction was evaluated. However, there was no association between these markers and radiosensitivity.
