Research Abstract

By using clinical specimens, we performed IHC analysis for the putative cancer-initiating cell markers. Among the markers, we found CD166 may be the mostuseful one. To identify novel lung cancer-initiating cell markers, we analyzed an open database, screened genes that were highly expressed in CD166-positive cells, measured expression levels of such genes in the clinical specimens, and performed shRNA-induced knocking-down experiments. We identified that a gene could be a novel lung cancer-initiating cell marker, as well as a future target for the cancer treatment.
