History of Cancer Stem Cell (CSC) theory

• Only a minority of malignant cells can induce tumors (1930-1950)

• SCF-U: identification of individual normal hemopoietic precursors generating large number of mature cells (1960-es)

• TFU: tumor-forming unit – malignant cells from one colony could generate large number of secondary colonies

• The composition of most tumors is heterogeneous

• AML – single cell source for an entire spectrum of malignant cells

(1990-es)

Solid tissue tumor CSCs

• Breast cancer

• Brain tumor

• Pancreatic cancer

• Lung cancer

• Colonic cancer, etc.

• Melanoma: use of a more immunocompromised mouse recipient led to the identification of higher number of CSCs than in

conventional SCID recipients

AML niche characteristics

Normal HSC (LKS+, CD34, CD150+, CD48-) Impaired normal HSC niche function

• Direct invasion of niche

• Secreted substances such as SCF

• Pathway activation leading to enhanced self-renewal

• Enforced LSC quiescence

• Resistance to chemotherapy including secretion of antagonists

Sympathetic nervous system regulation

Endosteal regulatory elements (osteoblasts, Osteoclasts, bone

matrix, osteopontin,calcium)

Loss of traditional niche dependence and homing to alternative niche

Dysregulated homing and engraftment

• CXCR4/CXCR12 interactions

• Up-regulation of adhesion molecules such as VLA-4

LSC (human CD34+/CD38-

; murine lin-, c-kit+, Sca-1-)

Mature hematopoietic cells (paracrine

cytokines)

• Enhanced cytokine responsiveness

• Determination of immunophenotype

Perivascular regulatory elements (endothelium, CAR, MSC)

Summary

• Cancer stem cell represent a small compartment within the entire tumor tissue by the time of tumor diagnosis, that are capable for regenerating the entire tumor spectrum following cytoreduction; however, their adaptation to the current

cytotoxic therapies poses a severe obstacle for efficient treatment.

• Similarly to the physiological stem cell niches, the interaction

of CSCs with their niche is vital to the survival of CSCs and

it may represent a novel target in therapy.
