Chemoresistance and development of relapses are ascribable to a rare cell population of tumour mass: cancer stem cells (CSCs). Targeting CSCs could increase patients' survival rate and it is important to identify molecules that can act on the main pathways of these cells. Natural bioactive compounds, of which Manuka honey (MH) is rich, could be a good opportunity to target them. This work aims to evaluate the effect of MH on CSCs-like from human colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116 cell line) enriched through the in vitro sphere-forming assay. The results showed that MH reduced the volume of the entire culture of spheroids, affecting also their morphological parameters and induced apoptosis and ROS intracellular accumulation in CSCs-like. In addition, MH decreased the mRNA expression of one of ABC transporters (ABCG2) and affected self-renewal ability through the downregulation of the mRNA expression of one of the receptor membranes of Wnt/β-catenin pathway (Frizzled 7).

化学耐药性和复发的发展归因于罕见的肿瘤细胞群: 癌症干细胞 (CSCs)。靶向CSCs可以提高患者的生存率,因此确定可以作用于这些细胞主要途径的分子非常重要。富含麦卢卡蜂蜜 (MH) 的天然生物活性化合物可能是靶向它们的好机会。这项工作旨在评估MH对通过体外球体形成试验富集的人结直肠癌 (HCT-116细胞系) 的CSCs样的影响。结果表明,MH减少了球状体的整个培养物的体积,也影响了它们的形态参数,并诱导了CSCs样细胞的凋亡和ROS细胞内积累。此外,MH降低了一种ABC转运蛋白 (ABCG2) 的mRNA表达,并通过下调Wnt/β-catenin途径之一的受体膜 (Frizzled 7) 的mRNA表达来影响自我更新能力。
