Popis: The present study aimed to evaluate the stem cell markers, characteristics and biological functions of cancer stem-like side population (SP) cells in human oral cancer. SP cells were isolated from the human oral squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence dye and flow cytometry. The colony forming and proliferative capability of SP and non-SP cells were detected using a live-cell analysis system in vitro. The number of cells expressing stem cell markers was compared between SP cells and non-SP cells by flow cytometry. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of stem cell genes, respectively. Differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in SP and non-SP cells was determined by microarray hybridization and an miRNA regulation network was produced. With regard to the proliferation capability, SP cells reached 60.0% confluence after 40 h of growth compared with 35.1% confluence for non-SP cells (P
