BACKGROUND Subsets of tumor cells were characterized by mapping DNA ploidy patterns in correlation with established cell surface markers in three non-treated sublines of the Dunning R3327 prostate tumor system representing different progressional stages. METHODS Flow cytometry was used to analyze DNA-index, cell cycle distribution as well as multiparametric aquisition of single and combined cell surface markers in single cell suspensions of frozen tumor tissues. RESULTS The three Dunning prostate tumor sublines clearly differ in their ploidy status. In addition each tumor subline displays a characteristic cell surface marker profile, which is correlated with the cell cycle phase and the amount of genomic alterations. CONCLUSIONS In a feasibility study we have shown that cross-reacting antibodies to human cell surface markers stain discrete tumor subpopulations in three sublines of the Dunning tumor model. Although it remains presently uncertain, which cell surface markers are most suitable for cell sorting to display cancer initiating (CIC) properties following subcutaneous or orthotopic grafting, the model may be useful for mechanistic investigations of putative stem-like tumor subpopulations and their significance in response to radio- or chemotherapy.

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.
