"Latar Belakang : Kanker payudara merupakan salah satu kanker tersering pada wanita. Saat ini keberhasilan pengobatan terhadap kanker payudara masih rendah selain karena progesifitas tumor, tumor juga kadang bersifat resisten terhadap pengobatan, adanya metastasis dan meningkatnya agresivitas. Penelitian menunjukkan adanya peranan dari subset populasi sel punca kanker payudara (breast cancer stem cells, BCSC) yang menyokong pada sifat keganasan kanker ini. Selain Oct4 sebagai penanda kepuncaan sel, salah satu penanda yang dipakai dalam menyortir BCSC adalah aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), dan dari 19 subfamili ALDH diteliti isoform ALDH1A1 dan ALDH1A3 yang dominan berperan pada BCSC. Selain itu adanya kondisi hipoksia turut mendukung menyebabkan kegasanan kanker payudara meningkat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh hipoksia pada ekspresi mRNA ALDH1A1 dan ALDH1A3 dan hubungannya dengan kepuncaan dan ketahanan hidup sel punca kanker payudara ALDH+. Metode: Sampel menggunakan kultur sel BCSC ALDH dan sel MCF-7. Dilakukan inkubasi hipoksia (O2 1) dan normoksia (O2 20) selama 6, 24 dan 48 jam kemudian dilakukan analisis ekspresi HIF1, ALDH1A1, ALDH1A3 dan Oct4. Selanjutnya dilakukan analisis viabilitas dan pengukuran mammosphere forming unit (MFU). Hasil : Studi menunjukkan kondisi hipoksia menyebabkan peningkatan ekspresi ALDH1A3 pada sel BCSC ALDH sedangkan ALDH1A1 mengalami penurunan ekspresi dibandingkan dengan sel normoksia, sementara pada sel MCF-7 terjadi hal sebaliknya. Ekspresi Oct4 mengalami peningkatan pada awal hipoksia (6 jam) kemudian menurun. Terjadi penurunan MFU, sedangkan ketahanan hidup sel tetap stabil. Kesimpulan : Kondisi hipoksia bisa menyebabkan penurunan sifat kepuncaan pada sel BCSC ALDH ditinjau dari penanda self-renewal, pluripotensi dan tumorigenitas, tetapi ketahanan hidup sel tetap stabil.

Background: Breast cancer is one of frequent cancer-related disease among women. Complete successful therapy to breast cancer was still a big challenge considering the tumour progression, therapy resistancy, metastatic ability and increasing aggressivity. Studies shown that breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) subset were involved to maintain the malignancy. Besides the well-known cell stemness marker Oct4, researchers also suggested aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) as a marker of BCSC, in which ALDH1A1 and ALDH1A3 believed to play dominant role. In addition, tumour hypoxia might also support increasing malignancy. This study aimed to analyze the expressions of ALDH1A1 and ALDH1A3 mRNA and their correlation with stemness properties and cell survival of hypoxic BCSC ALDH+.

Method(s): Samples were obtained using BCSC ALDH and MCF-7 cells. The cells then being treated with hypoxia (O2 1) and normoxia (O2 20) conditions for 6, 24 and 48 hours respectively. We also measured the cells survival and mammosphere forming unit (MFU) capability to analyze cell proliferation.

Result(s): Our study showed that ALDH1A3 in BCSC ALDH hypoxia cells was expressed at significantly higher level but ALDH1A1 was at lower level compared to their respective normoxia cells, while we found the opposite results in MCF-7 cells. Oct4 expression was increased at early hypoxia (6 hours) then declined shortly. MFU was reduced but cells survival remained stable.

Conclusion(s): Hypoxic condition decreased the stemness properties of BCSC ALDH considering the self renewal, pluripotency, and tumorigenicity markers. However, cells survival remained stable."

"Terapi penyakit degeneratif menggunakan sel punca mesenkim (SPM) dikembangkan dengan pendekatan seluler ataupun dengan conditioned medium (CM) yang mengandung faktor pertumbuhan dan vesikel ekstraseluer (VE). Sel punca kanker merupakan populasi kecil sel dalam jaringan kanker yang berkaitan dengan resistensi terapi. Belum diketahui dampak VE SPM tali pusat terhadap kepuncaan sel kanker payudara. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dampak pemberian VE SPM tali pusat terhadap kepuncaan sel kanker payudara. VE diisolasi dengan kromatografi kolom; diidentifikasi dengan mikroskop konfokal dan transmission electron microscope. Internalisasi VE oleh sel kanker payudara dikonfirmasi dengan mikroskop konfokal. Analisis viabilitas sel pasca kokultur VE dilakukan menggunakan trypan blue exclusion assay, ekspresi mRNA OCT4 dengan qRT-PCR, ekspresi protein OCT4 dengan Western Blot, aktivitas enzim ALDH dengan ALDEFLUOR™.

Therapy of degenerative diseases using umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) are currently developed either using the cell or the conditioned medium containing extracellular vesicles (EVs). Cancer stem cells are a minor subpopulation of cells within cancerous tissue that had been associated with therapy resistance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of EVs secreted by UCMSC (UCMSC-EVs) on the stemness of human breast cancer cells. UCMSC-EVs were isolated using SEC, then identified using confocal microscope and TEM. UCMSC-EV uptake by MDA-MB-231, MCF7, and ALDH+ cells was analyzed by confocal microscope. The viability of co-cultured breast cancer cells was determined using trypan blue exclusion assay, mRNA and protein expression of OCT4 as well as ALDH activity were analyzed qRT-PCR, Western Blot, and ALDEFLUOR™, respectively. As the result, UCMSC-EVs were successfully isolated and identified. The internalization ability of each type of breast cancer cell seemed different. Notably, 5% EVs increased the viability of those three cells. Five percent of EVs increased the mRNA expression of OCT4. On MCF7 and ALDH+ cells, the higher the EVs concentration given, the lower expression of OCT4 protein was. Supplementation of EVs 5% increased the ALDH activity of cells. In conclusion, supplementation of UCMSC-EVs in different concentrations gives different impacts in terms of stemness that was correlated with OCT4 and ALDH regulation within the treated cells."

"Pendahuluan: Kanker payudara triple-negatif merupakan subset keganasan yang menantang terkait dengan prognosis buruk akibat rendahnya ekspresi HER2 dan reseptor hormon, yang mengakibatkan kurangnya modalitas terapi yang ditargetkan secara spesifik. Selain itu, bagian dari keganasan ini mempunyai tingkat kekambuhan dini dan metastasis yang tinggi. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), suatu enzim yang sangat penting untuk keseimbangan redoks, terlibat dalam tumorigenesis karena peran gandanya. Awalnya, MnSOD bertindak sebagai penekan tumor selama tumorigenesis awal, namun perannya bergeser seiring perkembangan penyakit. Kanker payudara triple-negatif diperkaya dengan subpopulasi sel dengan potensi tumorigenik tinggi dan stres oksidatif yang dikenal sebagai sel punca kanker. Sel-sel ini mengekspresikan faktor transkripsi Oct4 dan Sox2, yang mengatur pembaruan diri dan kepuncaan. Studi ini menyelidiki efek penekanan ekspresi MnSOD melalui KO gen CRISPR/Cas9 pada sel punca kanker BCSC triple-negatif dengan mengukur ekspresi mRNA OCT4 dan SOX2. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan kelompok kontrol BCSC tripel-negatif BT-549 tipe wild-type dan dua kelompok BT-549 KO MnSOD yang diberi perlakuan. Untuk setiap kelompok, tiga sampel ulangan digunakan. Ekspresi mRNA OCT4 dan SOX2 di setiap kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan dideteksi oleh RT-qPCR. Hasil masing-masing dihitung dengan Metode Livak untuk mengekstraksi rasio ekspresi. Uji T dua sampel dilakukan untuk menghitung signifikansinya. Hasil: Temuan ini menunjukkan tren penurunan ekspresi SOX2 dan ekspresi mRNA OCT4 yang tidak konsisten. Kesimpulan: Penekanan MnSOD dapat menjadi target potensial untuk mengubah sifat pluripotensi BCSC triple-negatif dengan memberikan efek tidak langsung pada ekspresi mRNA OCT4 dan SOX2.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer represents a challenging subset of malignancy associated with poor prognosis due to low expression of HER2 and hormone receptors, resulting in the lack of specific targeted therapeutic modalities. Additionally, this subset of malignancy acquires a high rate of early recurrence and metastasis. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), an enzyme paramount for redox balance, is implicated in tumorigenesis by its dual role. Initially, MnSOD acts as a tumor suppressor during early tumorigenesis, but its role shifts as the disease advances. Triple-negative breast cancer is enriched with a subpopulation of cells with high tumorigenic potential and oxidative stress known as cancer stem cells (CSC). These cells expressed Oct4 and Sox2 transcription factors, which regulate self-renewal and stemness. This study investigates the effect of suppressing MnSOD expression through CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout on the stemness of triple-negative BCSCs by measuring OCT4 and SOX2 mRNA expression. Methods: This study utilized a control group of wild-type BT-549 triple-negative BCSCs and two treated groups of MnSOD-knockout BT549 BCSCs. For each group, three replicate samples were used. The mRNA expression of OCT4 and SOX2 in each control and treated group was detected by RT-qPCR. Their respective results were calculated by the Livak Method to extract the expression ratio. A two-sample T-test was performed to calculate the significance. Results: The findings demonstrate a decreasing trend of SOX2 expression and an inconsistent OCT4 mRNA expression. Conclusion: MnSOD suppression may present as a potential target for altering the pluripotency properties of triple-negative BCSCs by exerting an indirect effect on OCT4 and SOX2 mRNA expression."

"Pertumbuhan kanker tidak hanya ditentukan oleh adanya sel kanker itu sendiri akan tetapi ditentukan juga oleh lingkungan mikro disekitarnya. Lingkungan mikro tersebut merupakan jaringan yang heterogen dengan adanya interaksi sel termasuk sel punca mesenkim. Sekretom mengandung faktor-faktor biologis terlarut yang dapat mempengaruhi pertumbuhan sel kanker. Stem cell from Human Exfoliated Deciduous SHED diketahui merupakan sumber sel punca yang memiliki banyak potensi. Sampai saat ini belum diketahui bagaimana dampak pemberian CM dari SHED terhadap sel punca kanker payudara. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemberian conditioned medium kultur SHED pada sel punca kanker payudara terhadap viablitas, proliferasi dan tumorigenitas serta kepuncaan dari sel punca kanker payudaraALDH dan sel punca kanker MCF7. Conditioned medium SHED SHED-CM adalah medium kultur bebas serum sel SHED yang dikumpulkan dalam 24 jam dan 48 jam. ALDH dan MCF7diberikan 50 v/v SHED-CM 24 jam dan 48 jam dan di inkubasi selama 72 jam. Hal yang sama dilakukan untukperlakuan aktivasi CM dengan suhu. CM sebelum digunakan terlebih dahulu dipanaskan dalam suhu 80 C selama 10 menit. Kontrol adalah sel yang diberikan 50 v/v a-MEM. Perhitungan viabilitas sel dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Trypan Blue Exclusion Assay dan ekspresi relatif mRNA dari TGF-b1, TGF-b1 receptor TBRI, ALDH1A1 dan OCT4 menggunakan qRT-PCR dan analisis menggunakan perhitungan livak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekspresi relatif dari TGF-b1, TGF-b1 reseptor TBRI, ALDH1A1 dan OCT4 pada sel ALDH dan MCF7 pasca induksi dengan CM SHED mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Selain itu, peningkatan yang lebih signifikan ditunjukkan pada perlakuan aktivasi dibandingkan yang tidak diaktivasi. Hal yang berbeda pada hasil uji viabilitas sel. Viabilitas sel mengalami penurunan pasca induksi dengan CM SHED sedangkan setelah diinduksi dengan CM SHED yang telah diaktivasi, viabilitas sel mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan pada sel ALDH dan MCF7. Dengan demikian sekretom SHED dapat meningkatkan viabilitas dan proliferasi serta kemampuan kepuncaan dari ALDH dan MCF7.

Cancer development is not only determined by corresponding of cancer cells but also by the microenvironment. This includes a heterogen network of interacting cell include mesenchymal stem cells. Conditioned medium of MSC culture containing soluble factor hes been identified to affect intercellular communicating between MSC and cancer cells which could affect the stemness of cancer cells. Many studies reported that Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth SHED as a novel stem cell source with multipotent potential. However, the effect of MSC interaction with cancer cells can not be clearly understood so that the effects of safety in its utilization are not yet known for certain. This study is to confirm the relation between secretom of MSC from SHED with the stemness and agresiveness of ALDH and MCF7. SHED conditioned medium SHED CM, SHED were grown in serum free a MEM for 24 and 48 hours, consist of two groups, non heated and heated at 80 C for 10 min. Human BCSCs ALDH cultured in DMEM F12 were supplemented with 50 v v CM SHED 24 h and 48 h, as well as with heated by 72 h incubation. Control was BCSCs supplemented with 50 v v a MEM. We measured the viability with trypan blue assay and mRNA expression of TGF b1, TGF b1 receptor TBRI, as well as stemness genes ALDH1A1 and OCT4 using qRT PCR. The relative mRNA expression levels of TGF b1, T RI, OCT4 and ALDH1A1 in BCSCs supplemented with non heated SHED CM were increased compared to their control and also after TGF b1 heat activation was significantly higher than in non heated SHED CM. In the other hand, the viability cell was significantly reduced after supplemented with non heated SHED CM, but increased higher than control when treated with heated SHED CM, there are may be a role of the TGF b1 signaling involvement of other factors in SHED CM affect cell proliferation and increase the stemness. We found that secretomes SHED can increase proliferation of breast cancer stem cells ALDH and also expression of stemness gene OCT4 and ALDH1A1. the activation with heated can enhance the increase of proliferation and stemness. We assumed that signalling of TGF can affect tumor proggresion of ALDH and MCF7"

"Lingkungan mikro tumor berperan penting dalam meregulasi sifat kepuncaan, proliferasi, ketahanan terhadap apoptosis, dan metabolisme sel punca kanker. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek modulasi lingkungan ekstraseluler melalui kondisi hipoksia dan alkalinisasi pada metabolisme glukosa dan ketahanan hidup sel punca kanker CSC payudara manusia CD24-/CD44 . Pada penelitian in vitro eksperimental ini, CSC payudara manusia dikultur pada kondisi hipoksia dan kondisi alkali. Kultur sel diinkubasi selama 30 menit, 4, 6, 24, dan 48 jam pada suhu 37 C kemudian dilakukan analisis status metabolisme glukosa, regulasi pH, ketahanan hidup, dan penanda kepuncaan serta pluripotensi CSC payudara menggunakan berbagai teknik yaitu qRT-PCR, kolorimetri, fluorometri, dan aktivitas enzimatik. Kondisi hipoksia menyebabkan peningkatan ekspresi mRNA dan konsentrasi HIF1? sehingga mengaktivasi gen-gen yang berada di bawah regulasinya. Hipoksia juga menyebabkan penekanan proliferasi namun meningkatkan ketahanan terhadap apoptosis. Alkalinisasi menyebabkan peningkatan pH ekstraseluler pHe yang menstimulasi peningkatan aktivitas dan ekspresi mRNA gen regulator pH seluler. Status metabolisme menunjukkan peningkatan aktivitas glikolisis anaerobik disertai peningkatan ekspresi transporter GLUT1. Alkalinisasi menyebabkan penekanan proliferasi CSC payudara bahkan kematian sel. Sebagai kesimpulan, modulasi lingkungan ekstraseluler baik melalui hipoksia maupun alkalinisasi dapat meningkatkan aktivitas glikolisis yang selanjutnya mempengaruhi ketahanan hidup dan kepuncaan CSC payudara CD24-/CD44.

This study was aimed to analyze the effect of extracellular pH and O2 level modulation on glucose metabolism and survival of the human CD24 CD44 breast cancer stem cells BCSCs . The primary BCSCs CD24 CD44 cells were cultured under hypoxia 1 O2 or under supplementation of sodium bicarbonate 100 mM for various periods. After each incubation periods, the pH regulation, glucose metabolism, survival, stemness and pluripotency markers were analyzed using various techniques including qRT PCR, colorimetry, fluorometry, dan enzymatic reactions. This study demonstrated that hypoxia caused an increase of HIF1 mRNA expression and protein level, and shifted metabolic states to be more glycolytic. Hypoxia also promoted the suppression of cell proliferation and induced the apoptosis evasion. Alkalinization caused a high pHe then stimulated an increase of mRNA and activity of cellular pH regulator that lead to upregulation of anaerobic glycolysis. Alkalinization inhibited BCSCs proliferation and promoted apoptosis. To conclude, modulation of the extracellular environment of human BCSCs through hypoxic condition and alkalinization could shift the metabolic state toward the anaerobic glycolysis which in turn affected the proliferation and survival."

"Kanker payudara adalah kanker dengan insidensi dan tingkat mortalitas tertinggi untuk wanita di Indonesia berdasarkan Cancer Country Profile oleh WHO pada 2014. Salah satu hipotesis terbaru dalam dunia onkologi adalah keberadaan sel punca kanker yang mendorong tumorigenesis, metastasis, therapy resistance dan remission pada kasus kanker ganas. Sel punca kanker dianggap hidup dalam kondisi hipoksia in vivo, sejalan dengan keadaan sel punca pada umumnya. Kondisi inilah yang mendorong sel punca kanker untuk memiliki karakteristik stemness yang menganugerahkan mereka kapasitas self-renewal dan pluripotency hingga akhirnya memperoleh ciri malignansi. Sebagai salah satu cara untuk mendalami sifat unik ini, kultur sel punca kanker payudara yang telah difraksinasi menggunakan marker CD44 /CD24-, diekspos terhadap hipoksia dengan interval berbeda. Perubahan ekspresi dari Oct4 sebagai core regulator dan ALDH1 sebagai modulator dari stemness akan diukur dan dibandingkan dalam kondisi hipoksia dan normoksia.

Breast cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rate in Indonesian women based on WHO Cancer Country Profiles 2014. One of the emerging hypothesis in the oncology world is on cancer stem cells, which are responsible for the tumorigenesis, metastasis, therapy resistance and remission in many cancer types and cases. Similar to stem cells, cancer stem cells live around hypoxic surrounding in vivo and this condition granted the cancer stem cells pluripotency and self renewal capability, thus the characteristic of stemness and malignancy. Breast cancer has been shown to also contain cancer stem cells and so to study the unique trait under hypoxic condition, the cells, which have been fractionated by markers CD44 and CD24 , are subjected to hypoxia. The expression of Oct4 and ALDH1 as the core regulator and modulator of stemness respectively are assessed and further compared between hypoxic and normoxic groups."

"Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) dengan petanda Aldehida dehidrogenase 1-positif (ALDH1+) merupakan populasi minor dari sel-sel tumor dengan kemampuan tumorigenik yang tinggi dan bertahan terhadap stres oksidatif.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1-positive (ALDH1+) breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are a small population of tumor cells with high capacity of tumorigenicity and oxidative stress. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is specifically expressed in mitochondria as the primary defense against superoxides, which are one of the causes of oxidative stress in cells. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of suppressing MnSOD expression using small interfering RNA (siRNA) on the stemness, tumorigenicity, and viability of BCSCs. In vitro transfection of ALDH1+ BCSCs was performed using 33 and 66 µM specific MnSOD siRNA under standard culture conditions. Total RNA and protein were extracted from the transfected cells using TriPure® Isolation Reagent and RIPA® lysis buffer. Cell viability was measured using a trypan blue exclusion assay. The relative expression of MnSOD and OCT4 mRNAs was analyzed by one step qRT-PCR. MnSOD activity was determined by xanthine oxidase inhibition assay (RanSOD® kit). Cellular superoxides were measured using a dihydroethidium assay and tumorigenicity was observed with mammosphere-forming unit.  After siRNA incubation for 48 hours, MnSOD was suppressed by 0.176-fold (p<0.01), MnSOD enzyme specific activity was reduced 70.4%, cellular superoxide levels increased by 1.13-fold, OCT4 expression was suppressed by 1.98-fold (p<0.05), and mammosphere-forming unit decreased by 36.5% (p<0.05) compared with the corresponding negative controls. The viability of the ALDH1+ BCSCs was reduced 75% (p< 0.05). Our results suggest that suppression of MnSOD expression may be a promising target to reduce stemness and tumorigenicity of ALDH1+ BCSCs."

"Tingginya rekurensi pada kanker kolorektal (KKR) disebabkan karena terapi saat ini belum mempertimbangkan keberadaan lingkungan mikrotumor dan kepuncaan. Kepuncaan adalah sifat dari sel punca kanker yang memiliki kemampuan self-renewal, pluripotensi, dan tumorigenic. Penelitian kami sebelumnya menunjukan bahwa sekretom fibroblas dari adenokarsinoma kolorektal meningkatkan ekspresi CD133 dan CD44 dalam sel Lestari HT-29. Namun peran sekretom fibroblas tersebut terhadap sifat kepuncaan masih perlu diteliti lebih lanjut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh sekretom fibroblas adenokarsinoma kolorektal area tumor dibandingkan area nontumor dan fibroblas normal terhadap sifat kepuncaan, MnSOD, dan STAT3 pada sel lestari HT-29. Pemberian Conditioned Medium (CM) yang mengandung sekretom fibroblas adenokarsinoma kolorektal area tumor (CM-T) dan nontumor pasangannya (CM-NT) pada kultur sel lestari HT-29 sudah dilakukan oleh peneliti sebelumnya. Fibroblas normal (NF) diisolasi dari jaringan preputium. Semua fibroblas ditanam dalam media kultur bebas serum selama 24 jam untuk mengumpulkan CM. Kemudian, CM ditambahkan ke kultur sel lestari HT-29 selama 72 jam. Ekspresi mRNA Oct4 dan ALDH1A1 dianalisis dengan qRT-PCR. Ekspresi protein STAT3, pSTAT3, SOD, dan Oct4 dianalisis dengan western blot. Pemberian CM-T meningkatkan ekspresi mRNA OCT4 dan ALDH1A1 signifikan dibandingkan dengan kontrol, CM-NT, dan CM-NF. Kami menyimpulkan bahwa pemberian sekretom fibroblas KKR meningkatkan ekspresi OCT4 dan ALDH1A1 secara signifikan dibandingkan dengan fibroblas non tumor pasangannya dan fibroblas normal

The high recurrence in colorectal cancer (CRC) is because current therapy has not considered the presence of a tumor microenvironment and stemness. Stemness is a characteristic of cancer stem cells that have properties like self-renewal, pluripotent and tumorigenic abilities. Our previous study has demonstrated that the secretomes of fibroblasts isolated from colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients could upregulated the expression of CD133 and CD44 in the HT29 CRC cell line. However, the role of CRC fibroblasts secretomes in CRC stemness is needed to be further investigated. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of fibroblast secretomes from CRC patients in comparison with the secretomes from normal fibroblasts on the expression of stemness markers, MnSOD, and STAT3 on HT-29 cells. The supplementation of Conditioned Medium (CM) from adenocarcinoma colorectal fibroblast (CM-T) and its nontumor partner (CM-NT) in HT-29 cell cultures has been done by our previous study. Normal fibroblasts (NF) were isolated from prepuce tissue. All fibroblasts were grown in free-serum culture medium for 24 hours to collect conditioned medium (CM). Then, CM was supplemented to HT-29 CRC cells for 72 hours. The effects of CM-T on the mRNA expression of OCT4 and ALDH1A1 were analysed using qRT-PCR. Supplementation of CM-T significantly increased OCT4 and ALDH1A1 mRNA expressions compared to that of CM-NT, CM-NF, and control. We conclude that secretomes from CRC patients upregulate the expression of CRC stemness."

initiating the formation of new cancer cell populations and providing resistance to

therapy. BCSCs can interact with the tumor microenvironment which releasing

various cytokines and growth factors, including TGF-β1. Through the

autoinduction mechanism, TGF-β1 can increase endogenous TGF-β1 production

and autocrine signaling. TGF-β1 autocrine signaling can increase the tumor

promoter role of TGF-β1 in cancer development by enhancing the stemness and

tumorigenic properties. This study aims to analyze the effect of Human TGF-β1

recombinant protein treatment to breast cancer stem cells (aldehyde dehydrogenase

positive, ALDH+) on the expression of stemness marker through TGF-β1 autocrine

signaling. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) was used as a comparison.

Methods: Human BCSCs (ALDH+) and TNBC (MDA-MB-231) were cultured in

Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium/Nutrient Mixture F12/HG (DMEM F12/HG)

with 0.1 ng / ml recombinant protein of human TGF-β1 supplementation (rhTGF-

β1) over 1, 2 and 4 hour periods. The culture medium was then replaced with

DMEM F12/HG serum-free for 24 hours. The expression levels of the TGF-β

receptor type 1 (TβR1), TGF-β1, octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4),

and members of the A1 family of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1A1) mRNA

were analyzed using real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reactions

(RT-qPCR). TGF-β1 protein levels in conditioned medium were determined using

an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The tumorigenic properties of

cells were tested by the mammosphere forming unit (MFU) assay.

Results: The expression level of mRNA and TGF-β1 BCSC protein after treatment

appeared to be increased but not in TNBC. mRNA TβR1 BCSCs increased in the

treatment period of 1 and 2 hours, whereas in TNBC only in the 1 hour period. The

markers of ALDH1A1 and OCT4 expression appeared to be increased in BCSC but

not in TNBC. The MFU test showed that the tumorigenic properties of both cell

groups, especially in the 2 hour treatment period, appeared to be increasing.

Conclusion: Treatment of TGF-β1 in low concentrations and in a short time

triggered autoinduction of BCSCs and leads to the increased expression of stemness

genes marker via autocrine signaling. Whereas in TNBC, this increase in the

expression of the stemness markers did not occur. However, the tumorigenic nature

of BCSC and TNBC continues to increase."
