  • Title: Differential Expression of Cancer Stem Cell Markers ALDH1 and CD133 in Various Lung Cancer Subtypes.
    Author: Roudi R, Korourian A, Shariftabrizi A, Madjd Z.
    Journal: Cancer Invest; 2015; 33(7):294-302. PubMed ID: 26046383.
    Abstract:
    Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are hypothesized to be the main culprit of lung cancer progression. Clinicopathological significance of stem cell markers CD133 and ALDH1 in a large group of lung cancer patients was evaluated. ALDH1 and CD133 had higher expression levels in the NSCLC compared to the SCLC. Over-expression of both ALDH1 and CD133 markers was exclusively found in SCC and ADC. Low level of ALDH1 expression was strongly correlated with poor differentiation in ADC cases. Thus, ALDH1(high)/CD133(high) phenotype can be considered as a CSC marker in some lung cancer subtypes.
