mammospheres, with a SFE of !23% (PKHPOS pre-FACS inFigure S1B; note that this number is in agreement with themaximum expected SFE, Figures S1B and S1C).
We used FACS to isolate PKHPOS cells. Based on the typicalPKH26 distribution in mammospheres and the SFE of cellsfrom mammospheres, we isolated the most epifluorescent0.2%–0.4% of the total cell population (PKHPOS cells, gated at103–104 fluorescence units), as well as a ‘‘dull’’ population (gatedat 101–102 fluorescence units, PKHNEG cells) (Figure S1A, inset).Only the PKHPOS population gave rise tomammospheres (FigureS1A, inset), with a SFE of !11% (Figure S1B; note that on thebasis of this value and a series of normalizations, we estimatethat our PKHPOS population is !90% pure, Figure S1B). Ofnote, PKHPOS cells could support at least four additional gener-ations of mammosphere growth (Figure 1C, Figure S1C).
By monitoring microscopically the growth of PKHPOS cellsembedded in methylcellulose, we established that mammo-
spheres are truly the result of the clonal expansion of singlePKHPOS cells (Figure 1D). PKHPOS, but not PKHNEG, cellsshowed features of the quiescent state, as evidenced by reten-tion of BrdU and absence of expression of the proliferationmarker Ki-67 (Figure 1E). Moreover, PKHPOS cells divided asym-metrically, as demonstrated by the unequal partitioning atmitosis of the cell fate determinant Numb (Figures 1F and 1G)(Gonczy, 2008).
Characterization of PKHPOS CellsWe analyzed PKHPOS cells, by immunofluorescence (IF), witha panel of markers (Experimental Procedures). PKHPOS cellsshared features with both epithelial (CD24+/EpCAM+) andmyoe-pithelial (CD49F+/CK5+/TP63+) cells (Figure 2A, Figure S2A);however, they did not express detectable terminal differenti-ation markers, such as Muc1, E-cadherin, and ASMA (data notshown), suggesting that lineage specification has not yet

(Stingl and Caldas, 2007).With this background inmind, we usedthe hNMSC signature to interrogate expression data sets ofbreast cancers. We discovered that the signature can stratifybreast cancers according to their biological and molecularfeatures. We further showed that this is due to the differentnumber of cancer SCs (CSCs) (or cancer-initiating cells) presentwithin different types of breast tumors. Based on our data, wepropose a model of breast tumorigenesis that might resolve theincongruence between the complexity of breast cancer pheno-types and the simplicity of the normal breast parenchyma.

The sphere-forming effi-ciency (SFE) of cells from the mammarygland was 0.003%–0.01% (dependingon whether bulk mammary cells or pre-enriched mammary epithelial cells wereemployed, Figure S1B). The SFE of cellsobtained from dissociated mammo-spheres was !0.1% (F2 in Figure S1B).Normal mammospheres could be propa-
gated for at least four generations (Figure 1B), and their clono-genic ability decreased exponentially (Figure 1B, Figure S1C):at every generation, the SFE was !23% of that measured inthe preceding generation (Figure S1C). Mammospheres repro-ducibly contained !300 cells per sphere (Figure S1D).We estimated that in the normal mammary gland there is one
mammosphere-initiating cell per!7500 total cells or !2000 epi-thelial cells (Figure S1D), in good agreement with previousreports in mouse and human (Shackleton et al., 2006; Stingl etal., 2006). In addition, we calculated that approximately onemammosphere-initiating cell is present per mammosphere,and that this cell is likely found within the PKH26-positive(PKHPOS) cell fraction (Figure S1D). This was confirmed by moni-toring of the ability of single cells, obtained from dissociatedmammospheres, to form second-generation mammospheres,as a function of their PKH positivity. Only PKHPOS cells formed

magnifications of the boxed regions are shown on the top of each panel; bar, 10 mm. In the last panel, arrows point to rare stained cells; original magnification

The experiments of this figure and of Figure 3E confirm that some markers (CD49F, CK5, JAG1) were expressed both by myoepithelial cells and by putative
hNMSCs, while DLL1 appeared expressed exclusively by putative hNMSCs.

癌ではしばしばstem cellの機能を制御する経路に異常がある。今回、ヒト正常乳腺幹細胞(hNMSC)が、脂質染料であるPKH26を排出しにくい(休止状態にあるため)という性質をつかって、培養マンモスフィアから高い純度で単離することに成功した。PKH26
positive細胞はhNMSCが持つすべての性質を備えていた。PKH26-positive
(hNMSC型)細胞の網羅的転写解析によって乳癌の生物学的特徴、分子的特徴をとらえることができた。hNMSCを見分けるマーカー群を使って、正常乳腺と乳癌から幹細胞と考えられる細胞を単離した。低分化癌(G3)では高分化癌(G1)よりも単離された細胞(癌幹細胞
CSC)が少なかった。G3とG1を異種移植して比べたところ、G3はCSCを多く含むことがわかった。これらのデータは、ヒト乳癌のheterogeneousな表現形や分子的特徴は、CSCの量に応じて変わるという概念を支持する。
