摘要: CD44 is a widely known cancer stem cells marker in various cancers and validated to function tumor growth, survival metastasis. In this study, we first established C3A-derived liver by OSKM method [OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, c-MYC], termed C3A-induced (C3A-iCSCs) which acquired self-renewal stemness abilities. Then found was positive C3A-iCSCs mainly located cell nuclear. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) results showed nuclear combined promoter regions of c-MYC SOX2. These suggested that participated transcriptional regulation. To explore overall influence cells, knocked out using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Our dramatic increase the expression markers OCT4, SOX2 NANOG CD44- compared with CD44+ C3A-iCSCs. Tumor derived from also displayed well-differentiated C3A-iCSCs, exhibited lower malignant degree. data indicated responsible for poorly differentiated highly maintenance low state.
