Representative scheme for conversion of stem cells into cancer stem cells. (A) Steps for plating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)/embryonic stem cells (ESCs) on mitomycin C-treated mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells. (B) Steps for plating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)/embryonic stem cells (ESCs) on feederless gelatin-coated dishes. (C) Representative scheme for conversion of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)/embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into cancer stem cells (CSCs) in the presence of conditioned medium (CM) from cancer cell lines, and negative control without CM.
