A real-time visualization system for cancer stem cells (CSCs) was established (Clin Cancer Res, in press). We found that human pancreatic CSCs were highly metastatic and dominantly localized at the invading margins in liver metastasis. Microarray and siRNA screening assays showed that DCLK1 was predominantly expressed with histone modification in pancreatic CSCs with invasive and metastatic potential. Overexpression of DCLK1 led to amoeboid morphology which promotes the migration of pancreatic cancer cells. Knockdown of DCLK1 profoundly suppressed in vivo liver metastasis of pancreatic CSCs. Clinically, the specific expression of DCLK1 was detected in the metastatic tumors in patients with pancreatic cancer. Our studies identified DCLK1, that is essential for the metastatic properties of CSCs, as a promising epigenetic and therapeutic target in human pancreatic cancer (PLoS One 2016). In addition, we revealed transgenic mice with this system are useful for cancer prevention strategies.
