The significance of OCSCs to recurrence and chemoresistance

Marker Significance Cell lines/Specimens Ref.
CD24 Cytoplasmic localisation of CD24+ is indicative of poor prognosis and predictive of recurrence Human ovarian serous tumours [16]
Increased metastasis and chemoresistance in CD24+ cells that have developed cisplatin-resistance CAOV-3 cell line [17]
CD44 CD44+/CD24- expression in cells is predictive of recurrence Human OC cells isolated from ascites [18]
CD117 CD117+/c-Kit+ expression in cells is characteristic of chemoresistance Human advanced serous ovarian carcinoma [19]
Therapy with paclitaxel increases CD177 expression in vivo Primary tumour xenografts [20]
CD133 Higher cisplatin IC50 in CD133+ cells characteristic of chemoresistance 42 established OC cell lines [21]
ALDH ALDH1A1 expression in OCSCs correlates with poor survival and chemoresistance Human high-grade OC tumours [13]
