| Research Abstract |
【Objective】Our objective was to investigate the effect of cold shock domain protein A (CSDA) on carcinogenesis and secretions of angiogenic and lymphangiogenic factors from tumor cells. 【Results】In human skeletal muscle cells (SkMC), CSDA was up-regulated during hypoxia when cells were damaged and apoptosis was induced. CSDA expression could up-regulate the c-fos and VEGF promoter activity on cancer cell lines, CT26, LLC, and AZL5G, but these results were inconsistent with previous reports. We hypothesized that CSDA expresses on cancer non-stem cells and CSDA can control the secretions angiogenic and lymphangiogenic factors from cancer stem cells. We tried to sort the cancer cell line, 4T1, and only 4% cells were recognized as the cancer stem cells.【Conclusion】Given with our in vitro data, we assessed novel hypothesis. Further experiments were required to confirm our concept.
