    Abstract:
    Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a subpopulation of tumor cells that can self-renew, metastasize, and promote cancer recurrence. A comprehensive characterization of the CSC proteome has been hampered due to their scarcity and rapid differentiation. Here, we present a systematic analysis of the cell-surface proteome using a CSC-like cell line derived from MDA-MB453 breast cancer cells, which exhibited a CD44(+) /CD24(-) (where CD is cluster of differentiation) phenotype and chemoresistance. We identified differentially expressed proteins in CSC-like cells, including upregulated plasma membrane proteins such as CD44, CD133, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), CD147, cadherin 1, integrins, and catenin (cadherin-associated protein), beta 1 (CTNNB1), using an in-situ biotinylation approach followed by MS analysis. We examined the role of CD147 in the promotion of CSC growth and survival, and demonstrated that inhibition of CD147 with a monoclonal antibody induced significant inhibition of cell growth. siRNA-mediated silencing of CD147 gene expression restored the sensitivity of CSC-like cells to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), along with decreasing the expression of thymidylate synthase, p-AKT, and β-catenin, while increasing the expression of p-glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3β. Increased CD147 expression in the CSC-like cells, as seen by proteomic analysis, and the functional consequences of CD147 overexpression in CSC-like cells suggest that CD147 may be one of the critical cell-surface proteins involved in promoting chemoresistance and survival in CSCs.
