The small molecule ID8 increases Aldefluor+ breast cancer stem cells


ABSTRACT: The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis postulates that tumors are maintained by a self-renewing CSC population that is also capable of differentiating into non-self renewing cell populations that constitute the bulk of the tumor. Targeting breast CSC (BCSC) self-renewal represents an avenue for developing therapeutics; however, the molecular mechanisms that govern self-renewal of BCSCs are poorly understood. Our data show the small molecule ID8 decreases overall cell growth, but increases the self-renewal of Aldefluor+ BCSCs and increases functional metastatic BCSCs in a xenograft model. Microarray analysis showed that ID8 is a pleotropic molecule by increasing numerous pathways, including cytokines and chemokines. However, inhibition of those pathways does not abrogate the ID8-induced increase in Aldefluor+ BCSCs. Rather, ID8 is able to activate MAPK pathway through upregulation of the scaffold protein LAMTOR3 and inhibition of MEK prevented the increase in Aldefluor+ BCSCs. By using ID8 as a molecular tool, we identified a new function of the MAPK pathway in regulating BCSC growth and self-renewal.
