Abstract  The aim of the study is to isolate and identify liver cancer stem cells and screen the differentially expressed microRNAs. CD90+ cells were confirmed the existence in eight hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines and specimens by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Next, CD90+ cells isolated from MHCC97-H cell line by MACS. Drug chemoresistance assay showed CD90+ cells have a stronger drug resistance capacity than CD90- cells. CD90+ cells also have a stronger ability to initiate tumor formation than CD90- cells in a xenograft model in nude mice. Taken together, liver cancer stem cells may be enriched in CD90+ populations. Therefore, we examined the differentially expressed microRNAs between CD90+ cell and CD90- cells by means of microRNA chip. It is revealed that 92 microRNAs are differentially expressed between CD90+ cell and CD90- cells, of which 52 microRNAs are highly expressed in CD90+ cells and 40 microRNAs are highly expressed in CD90- cells.
