Accumulating evidence suggests that self-renewal and differentiation capabilities reside only in a subpopulation of tumor cells, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs) that can be identified by their aldehyde-dehydrogenase-isoform-1 (ALDH1) activity. We quantified and enriched ALDH1+ cells within HNSCC cell lines by an anchorage independent culture method and subsequently characterized their phenotypic and functional properties and epithelial-to- mesenchymal transition (EMT). On patients’ tumor samples, we investigated the relationship of ALDH1 andα-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression to metastasis of HNSCC. All cell lines formed spheroids that could self-renew and be serially re-passaged. ALDH1 expression was significantly higher in spheroid- de...
