Solid tumors are thought to contain cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a distinct population responsible for tumor relapse and metastasis due to their abilities to self renew, differentiate and give rise to a new tumor in local or distant organs. CSCs have been identified in many tumor types, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the fifth most common and third most deadly malignancy with observable heterogeneity. Numerous studies have shown that hepatic CSCs could be enriched via different cell surface markers, e.g., CD13, CD24, CD44, CD90, CD133, EpCAM (CD326), and OV6. They could also be identified through functional assays such as isolating the side population cells by Hoechst dye staining or screening cells with a high activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase. Functional characterization of hepatic CSCs has revealed several deregulated signaling pathways, such as Wnt/β-catenin, AKT, TGF-beta, IL-6/STAT3 pathways to be critical in inducing “stemness” of HCC and in promoting self-renewal, tumorigenicity and chemoresistance. An increased understanding of the hepatic CSC biology shed light on the development of new diagnostic, prognostic therapeutic strategies in improving HCC clinical management. In this review, we summarized recent evidence including the identification of hepatic CSCs and its underlying biological mechanisms, and discussed potential clinical implications in HCC.
