Objective To detect the cell viability and the expressions of stem cell surface markers after chemotherapeutic drug treatment.Methods We observed the cytotoxic effects of three chemotherapeutic agents[epirubicin(Epi),fluorouracil(5-FU)and cyclophosphamide(Cyc)]in three cell lines,and the cell viabilities after removed these chemotherapeutic agents.Expressions of stem cell surface markers CD44,CD24,CD90,CD14 and aldehyde dehydrogenase1(ALDH1)in breast cancer cells were analyzed by real-time PCR.The post hoc analysis(Tukey's tests)in conjunction with one-way ANOVA was used for statistical analysis.Results The initial cytotoxic efficacy was most notable.After the treatment of the same therapeutic agents,cell viability was decreased by 64.8%35.14%,32.25%in BT-483 cells,66.4%,22.94%and 45.88%in MDA-MB-231 cells,97.1%,99.5%and 76.4%in MCF cells.The difference was significant compared with that before treatment(P=0.000).However,the inhibitory effects were diminished after chemotherapeutic agent withdrawal.Cell viabilities were increased to 167.9%,212.04%and 188.66%in MDA-MB-231 cells at48 h after withdrawal.At 72 h after withdrawal,cell viability was increased with a significant difference in three cell lines(all P values=0.000).Expressions of CD44 and ALDH1 were most prevalent for MDA-MB-231,BT-483 and MCF-7 cells.ALDH1 mRNA level was significant higher in BT-483(HER-2 overexpression cell line)than MDA-MB-231(triple negative cell line)(P=0.012).CD14 mRNA level in MCF-7 cells were significantly lower than that in MDA-MB-231 and BT-483(P=0.003,0.001).BT-483 showed significantly higher level of CD44 than MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell line(P=0.013,0.020),and no significant difference was detected between MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells(P=0.955).CD90 mRNA expressions were detected in MDA-MB-231 cells and MCF-7 cells,but not in BT-483 cells.Conclusion Some malignant cells could survive in vitro and begin to proliferate again between cycles of chemotherapy.
