ABSTRACT: Objective
Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) with daughter cells express epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated proteins. Highly malignant tumor cells with EMT properties can transdifferentiate into mature tumor cells. In this study, we elucidated the potential for, and underlying mechanism of, adipogenic differentiation of PGCCs with daughter cells (PDCs).Methods
Cobalt chloride was used to induce PGCC formation in HEY (wild-type P53) and MDA-MB-231 (mutant P53) cells; these cells were then cultured in adipogenic differentiation medium. Oil red O staining was used to confirm adipogenic differentiation, and the cell cycle was detected with flow cytometry. The expression of adipogenic differentiation-associated proteins and P300 histone acetyltran
