Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer stem cells involved in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and conventional treatment are closely associated with relapse of gastric cancer. However, this conclusion has not yet been confirmed.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of gastric cancer stem cells in tumor invasion and metastasis and its effect on angiogenesis ability.
METHODS: We prepared nude mouse models of gastric cancer to isolate and culture gastric cancer stem cells. Harvested gastric cancer stem cells were detected in cell scratch test, ring test, inhibition rate test, cell migration test and tumorigenicity test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 7 days of culture, the cells exhibited adherent growth but a lack of regularity that most cells were in a tadpole shape. In the cell scratch test, the scratch width was significantly different at 0 and 24 hours (P < 0.05). Under an inverted microscope, the cells were found to form a ring in the ring test. The 50% inhibiting concentration of gastric cancer stem cells induced by oxaliplatin was significantly lower than that induced by 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). The number of cells passing through the basilar membrane was significantly increased after cell migration (P < 0.05). After implantation of gastric cancer stem cells, the gastric tissue quality was significantly higher than that in normal nude mice of gastric cancer (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that gastric cancer stem cells responsible for tumor invasion and migration have stronger angiogenesis ability.
