| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To find and investigate stem cell niche for the maintenance of stem cells, colon cancer cell line PLR123 was treated with irinotecan and the remnant cells were sorted into SP and non-SP fractions, and analyze expression levels of mRNA and protein. In cell sorter, SP fraction increased after treatment with irinotecan. ABC transporter and cytokeratin RNAs were upregulated in cancer cells of SP fraction in the microarray. We confirmed the CK20 and BCRP (Breast Cancer Resistance Protein) expression with immunohistochemistry in the cell block of PLR123 irinotecan treated cell. We will elucided the existence of niche-like cells and identify the key molecule which needed to form the niche.
