Metastatic gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are frequently refractory to chemotherapy. Chemoresistance in various malignancies has been attributed to cancer stem cells (CSCs). We sought to identify gastrointestinal neuroendocrine CSCs (N-CSCs) in surgical specimens and a NET cell line and to characterize novel N-CSC therapeutic targets. Human gastrointestinal NETs were evaluated for CSCs using the Aldefluor assay. In vitro sphere-forming assay was performed on primary NET cells. CNDT2.5, a human midgut carcinoid cell line, was used for in vitro (sphere-formation) and in vivo (tumorigenicity assays) CSC studies. N-CSC protein expression was characterized using Western blotting. In vivo, systemic siRNA administration targeted Src. Using the Aldefluor assay, aldehyde dehydrogenase–positive (ALDH+) cells comprised 5.8% ± 1.4% (mean ± SEM) of cells from 19 patient samples. Though many primary cell lines failed to grow, CNDT96 ALDH+ cells formed spheres in anchorage-independent conditions, whereas ALDH− cells did not. CNDT2.5 ALDH+ cells formed spheres, whereas ALDH− cells did not. In vivo, ALDH+ CNDT2.5 cells generated more tumors, with shorter latency than ALDH− or sham-sorted cells. Compared with non-CSCs, ALDH+ cells demonstrated increased expression of activated Src, Erk, Akt, and mTOR. In vivo, anti-Src siRNA treatment of ALDH+ tumors reduced tumor mass by 91%. CSCs are present in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), demonstrated by in vitro sphere-formation and in vivo tumorigenicity assays. Src was activated in N-CSCs and represents a potential therapeutic target in gastrointestinal NETs.
