Background/Aims: CD133+CD44+ cancer stem cells previously isolated from laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) cell lines showed strong malignancy and tumorigenicity. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the enhanced malignancy remained unclear. Methods: Cell proliferation assay, spheroid-formation experiment, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), miRNA-seq, bioinformatic analysis, quantitative real-time PCR, migration assay, invasion assay, and luciferase reporter assay were used to identify differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs and miRNAs, construct transcription regulatory network, and investigate functional roles and mechanism of circRNA in CD133+CD44+ laryngeal cancer stem cells. Results: Differentially expressed genes in TDP cells were mainly enriched in the biological processes of cell differentiation, regulation of autophagy, negative regulation of cell death, regulation of cell growth, response to hypoxia, telomere maintenance, cellular response to gamma radiation, and regulation of apoptotic signaling, which are closely related to the malignant features of tumor cells. We constructed the regulatory network of differentially expressed circRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs. qPCR findings for the expression of key genes in the network were consistent with the sequencing data. Moreover, our data revealed that circRNA hg19_circ_0005033 promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, and chemotherapy resistance of laryngeal cancer stem cells. Conclusions: This study provides potential biomarkers and targets for LSCC diagnosis and therapy, and provide important evidences for the heterogeneity of LSCC cells at the transcription level.

: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is categorized as the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with an incidence of more than 830,000 cases per year and a mortality rate of 50%. Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and Human Papillomavirus infection are the prominent risks for HNSCC. Despite significant developments in the treatment of HNSCC, a high rate of recurrences makes the clinical situation worse and results in poor survival rates. Recent perspectives demonstrate that whereas epithelial transformation plays a crucial role in cancer development, tumor surrounding microenvironment takes part in progression of cancer as well. Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs), which harbor unlimited self-renewal capacity, have a crucial role in the growth of HNSCC and this cell population is responsible for tumor recurrence unless eliminated by targeted therapy. CSCs are not only a promising target for tumor therapy, but also a crucial biomarker to determine the patients at high risk for undetermined results and disease development. Just as the bone marrow which is the niche of hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells, is important for stem cells maintenance. Similarly, the concept of microenvironment is also important for the maintenance of CSCs. Apart from the cell-cell interactions, there are many parameters in the cancer microenvironment that affect the development of cancer, such as extracellular regulation, vascularization, microbial flora, pH and oxygenation. The purpose of this review is to introduce HNSCC, explain the role of CSCs and their microenvironment and refer to the conventional and novel targeted therapy for HNSCC and CSCs.

Abstract Background Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are related to the patient’s prognosis, recurrence and therapy resistance in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Although increasing evidence suggests that aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) could lower the incidence and improve the prognosis of ESCC, the mechanism(s) remains to be fully understood. Methods We investigated the role of ASA in chemotherapy/chemoprevention in human ESCC cell lines and an N-nitrosomethylbenzylamine-induced rat ESCC carcinogenesis model. The effects of combined treatment with ASA/cisplatin on ESCC cell lines were examined in vitro and in vivo. Sphere-forming cells enriched with putative CSCs (pCSCs) were used to investigate the effect of ASA in CSCs. Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) was performed to determine the alterations in chromatin accessibility caused by ASA in ESCC cells. Results ASA inhibits the CSC properties and enhances cisplatin treatment in human ESCC cells. ATAC-seq indicates that ASA treatment results in remarkable epigenetic alterations on chromatin in ESCC cells, especially their pCSCs, through the modification of histone acetylation levels. The epigenetic changes activate Bim expression and promote cell death in CSCs of ESCC. Furthermore, ASA prevents the carcinogenesis of NMBzA-induced ESCC in the rat model. Conclusions ASA could be a potential chemotherapeutic adjuvant and chemopreventive drug for ESCC treatment.
