Abstract

Relaps, resistance and metastasis has become prominent problems that oncologists and cancer patients have to dealt with. Various studies have been done previously concluded that there are a subpopulation of cancer cells, identified as cancer stem cell, most likely to be the cause of relaps, resistance and metastasis of cancer. Cancer stem cell is a subpopulation of cancer cells that possess tumorigenicity, hence it can initiate the growth of tumor. Cancer stem cell has been suspected to be originated from normal stem cells reside in mature tissues, or from progenitor cells that gone through some series of alterations on its characteristics, including mutagenic and non-mutagenic changes. As seen in normal stem cells, cancer stem cell is also oftenly found in its inactive state. Therefore, cancer stem cell is not affected when it treated with many chemotherapeutic agents that are targeting cancer cells that proliferate extensively. Eventually, this event leads to the incidence of cancer relaps on cancer patients who already had series of cancer therapy. Based on this knowledge, it can be concluded that the only absolute way to overcome the incidence of metastasis, resistance and relaps on cancer patients, is to targeting cancer stem cell. Therefore, optimization on protocols of cancer stem cell identification and isolation strived continously. Some molecular markers that are oftenly used as a standard on cancer stem cell isolation are CD34, CD44 and CD133. In line with that, isolation methods that are based on sphere formation and the absorption of coloring dye could also be done to obtain cancer stem cell population. This review article would like to explain the nature of cancer stem cell existence, the pathology underlies its formation, characteristics and identification techniques that are commonly used, and challenges that have to be faced by scientists and physicians in order to optimize the application of cancer stem cell theory for the progress of science and patients’ sake.

Abstract

Metode konvensional isolasi sel endotel pembuluh darah otak (EPDO) masih tergolong sulit, sehingga upaya mendapatkan populasi murni sel ini adalah tantangan. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan isolasi endotel dari tikus Wistar dan mencit C57/Bl6, berdasarkan protokol the care and use of laboratory animals, Universitas Gunma, Jepang. Modifikasi metode isolasi adalah menggunakan gradasi bovine serum albumin (BSA), bukan Dextran-70 yang umumnya dipakai, untuk memisahkan sel EPDO yang bersatu menjadi sel EPDO tunggal. Penelitian ini dilakukan di laboratorium sel kultur, Universitas Padjadjaran bekerjasama dengan Universitas Gunma, Jepang, Januari 2008?Juni 2009. Uji hasil isolasi dan karakteristik sel EPDO dilakukan dengan teknik imunofloresen. Ekspresi tight junction ZO-1, menunjukkan sel EPDO membentuk selapis sel utuh, rapat, tidak bertumpuk dan kompak, sesuai dengan karakteristik dinding EPDO. Fenotip sel EPDO dikonfirmasi dengan acethylated LDL, faktor von Willebrand dan CD31. Penghancuran kapiler dengan collagenase/dispase masih menghasilkan populasi sel yang terkontaminasi perisit. Kontaminasi dimurnikan dengan menggunakan puromycin, tingkat pemurnian sel EPDO mencapai 98,3%. Simpulan, teknik modifikasi berhasil mengisolasi sel EPDO tikus dan mencit, tanpa melakukan intervensi genetik. Puromycin dapat digunakan untuk memurnikan sel EPDO.

In this study, we isolated BMVECs from Wistar rat and C57/Bl6 mouse from Japan SLC. All procedures performed according to guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals of Gunma University, Japan. The modification of isolation method was using bovine serum albumin (BSA) gradation, not Dextran-70 in which generally used, to separate clusters of BMVECs into single cell. This study was done at Universitas Padjadjaran, in colaboration with Gunma University, Japan, January 2008?June 2009. Further,characteristic and purification results were proven by imunofluorescene staining. The results showed that staining of tight junction, ZO-1, formed a monolayer, tightly packed, non-overlapping and contact-inhibited BMVECs, as expected for a vessel wall endothelial. ECs phenotype confirmed by acethylated LDL, von Willebrand and CD31. The digestion of capillaries generated contaminating pericytes. Contamination was purified using puromycin and the results considered satisfactory (98.3%). In conclusion, our modification procedure allows the isolation of primary rat and mouse BMVECs, which form an endothelial-like monolayer in few days. Puromycin can be used for purification of primary rat and mouse BMVECs. [MKB. 2010;42(4):161?8].Key words: Blood brain barrier, isolation modified-method of mouse-BMVECs, purification methods DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15395/mkb.v42n4.30
