Abstract Objective:To observe the cancer stem cell like characteristics of CD133+ and CD133- in colon cancer cell line SW480,and to analyze the differences of expressions of Bmi-1 gene in CD133+ and CD133- cells.Method:CD133+ and CD133- cells were sorted by flow cytometry,the abilities of sphere-forming and cell proliferation of CD133+ and CD133- cells in vitro were observed.The expressions of Bmi-1 gene in CD133+ and CD133- cells were detected by Real-time PCR.Result:(1)CD133+ cells accounted for 7.02% in SW480.(2)CD133+ cells were formed spheres within 4 culture days and grow fast in vitro.CD133- cells can not formed spheres,but can adhered and differentiated in medium with serum.In serum-free medium,the abilities of proliferation in CD133+ cells were bigger than those in CD133 cells.(3)The expressions of Bmi-1 mRNA in CD133+ cells were significantly higher than those of CD133- cells.Conclusion:The CD133+ cells account for a little proportion in SW480,but have the higher abilities of proliferation.Bmi-1 mRNA express highly in CD133+ cells,may be related to the carcinogenesis.
