Background: Cancer stem cells’ (CSCs) self-maintenance is regulated via the pluripotency pathways promoting the most aggressive tumor phenotype. This study aimed to use the activity of these pathways for the CSCs’ subpopulation enrichment and separating cells characterized by the OCT4 and SOX2 expression. Methods: To select and analyze CSCs, we used the SORE6x lentiviral reporter plasmid for viral transduction of colon adenocarcinoma cells. Additionally, we assessed cell chemoresistance, clonogenic, invasive and migratory activity and the data of mRNA-seq and intrinsic disorder predisposition protein analysis (IDPPA). Results: We obtained the line of CSC-like cells selected on the basis of the expression …
