Abstract

Background: In accord with the cancer stem cell (CSC) theory, only a small subset of cancer cells are capable of forming tumors. We previously reported that CD44 isolates tumorigenic cells from head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). Recent studies indicate that aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity may represent a more specific marker of CSCs. Methods: Six primary HNSCCs were collected. Cells with high and low ALDH activity (ALDH high/ALDH low) were isolated. ALDH high and ALDH low populations were implanted into NOD/SCID mice and monitored for tumor development. Results: ALDH high cells represented a small percentage of the tumor cells (1% to 7.8%). ALDH high cells formed tumors from as few as 500 cells in 24/45 implantations, whereas only 3/37 implantations of ALDH low cells formed tumors. Conclusions: ALDH high cells comprise a subpopulation cells in HNSCCs that are tumorigenic and capable of producing tumors at very low numbers. This finding indicates that ALDH activity on its own is a highly selective marker for CSCs in HNSCC. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2010

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
