OBJECTIVE To detect the expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line and observe the biological characteristics of tumor cells expressing high level of ALDH (ALDH(hig)). METHODS The expression of ALDH in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line was detected by the flow cytometry. The ALDH(hig) and ALDH(low) subpopulation cells were isolated and cultured in vitro respectively. The ability of differentiation, proliferation and tumorsphere formation were detected. Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was employed to screen the genes overexpressed in ALDH(hig) subpopulation cells. RESULTS The ALDH(hig) cells in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line was rarely 1.3%. Compared with ALDH(low) cells and unsorted cells, ALDH(hig) cells demonstrated increased proliferation capacity. After culture in vitro, the percentage of ALDH(hig) cells decreased gradually to the level of that in unsorted tumor cells. The ALDH(hig) subpopulation cells could survive in serum free medium and generate tumorspheres. SSH analysis revealed these tumor cells also expressed stem cell related genes. CONCLUSIONS There is a rare subpopulation cells expressing ALDH highly, which displays characteristics similar to stem cells. ALDH may be one of markers for cancer stem cells of tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
