摘要: The cancer cell population is heterogeneous, and stem cells (CSCs) are important for tumor growth maintenance. CSC associated with different neoplastic characteristics, such as migration, resistance to apoptosis, radiation therapy chemotherapy. To increase the knowledge of CSCs in canine prostate (PC), we characterized markers PC tissues tumorspheres. We performed immunohistochemistry OCT3/4, Nestin, NANOG, CD44 CD24 10 normal prostatic tissue samples, hyperplastic (PH) samples 28 samples. Then, established two cultures profile tumorspheres grown from these cultures. Normal PH were positive only basal layer. OCT3/4 was expressed luminal tissues. There no significant difference Nestin expression among However, found higher NANOG than that Tumorspheres express CD44, indicating may be potential PC. results obtained can useful better characterize guide future studies comparative oncology.
