Targeting EMT Using Low-Dose Teniposide by Downregulating ZEB2-Driven Activation of RNA Polymerase I in Breast Cancer

[Cell Death & Disease] Researchers demonstrated Teniposide as a potent modulator of the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) program, specifically through an interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7)–N-myc and STAT interactor (NMI) mediated response.

A Prismatic View of the Epigenetic-Metabolic Regulatory Axis in Breast Cancer Therapy Resistance

[Oncogene] The authors discuss interconnected epigenetic and metabolic regulatory pathways and then integrate them into an observable cancer metabolism-therapy-resistance axis that may inform clinical intervention.

SUCNR1 Regulates Insulin Secretion and Glucose Elevates the Succinate Response in People with Prediabetes

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] Scientists reported that the succinate receptor (SUCNR1) was expressed in β-cells and was up-regulated in hyperglycemic states in mice and humans.

Transfer Learning Reveals Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Are Associated with Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Inflammation in Cancer Cells in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

[Cancer Research] Researchers used a convergence approach to identify tumor cell and cancer-associated fibroblast interactions through the integration of single-cell data from human tumors with human organoid coculture experiments.

Actomyosin-II Protects Axons from Degeneration Induced by Mild Mechanical Stress

[Journal Of Cell Biology] Through pharmacological and molecular manipulations in vitro, the authors reported that actomyosin-II inactivation diminished the reversible beading process, fostered progressive Ca2+ spreading and thereby increased acute axonal degeneration in stressed axons.

Fusobacterium nucleatum Infection Modulates the Transcriptome and Epigenome of HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells in an Oxygen-Dependent Manner

[Communications Biology] Using a multiomic approach, researchers analyzed epigenomic alterations of H3K27ac and global transcriptomic alterations sustained within a hypoxia and normoxia conditioned colorectal cancer cell line at 24 h following initial infection with F. nucleatum.

Circ-0075305 Hinders Gastric Cancer Stem Cells by Indirectly Disrupting TCF4–β-Catenin Complex and Downregulation of SOX9

[Communications Biology] In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that overexpression of Circ-0075305 could effectively reduce stem cell-like properties and enhanced the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to Oxaliplatin compared with the control group.

Local and Global Changes in Cell Density Induce Reorganization of 3D Packing in a Proliferating Epithelium

[Development] Investigators used live imaging of the sea star embryo coupled with deep learning-based segmentation to dissect the relative contributions of cell density, tissue compaction, and cell proliferation on epithelial architecture.

Generation of Allogenic and Xenogeneic Functional Muscle Stem Cells for Intramuscular Transplantation

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] The authors investigated whether satellite cells could be derived in allogeneic or xenogeneic animal hosts.

A Mitochondrial Surveillance Mechanism Activated by SRSF2 Mutations in Hematologic Malignancies

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] Scientists showed that the pathogenic SRSF2P95H/+ mutation disrupted the splicing of mitochondrial mRNAs, impaired mitochondrial complex I function, and robustly increased mitophagy.

A Novel Protein CYTB-187AA Encoded by the Mitochondrial Gene CYTB Modulates Mammalian Early Development

[Cell Metabolism] Researchers demonstrated that cytochrome b (CYTB) also encoded an unrecognized 187-amino-acid-long protein, CYTB-187AA, using the standard genetic code of cytosolic ribosomes rather than the mitochondrial genetic code.

ISWI Chromatin Remodeling Complexes Recruit NSD2 and H3K36me2 in Pericentromeric Heterochromatin

[Journal of Cell Biology] Investigators revealed the mechanism of heterochromatin targeting of histone H3 lysine36 dimethylation (H3K36me2). Among several H3K36 methyltransferases, NSD2 was responsible for inducing heterochromatic H3K36me2.
