    Abstract

    A Three-Gene Leukemic Stem Cell Signature Score Is Robustly Prognostic in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

    Investigators described a concise three-gene expression signature, leukemic stem cell-3, as an independent and robust prognostic factor for leukemia-free and overall survival in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
    [British Journal Of Haematology]

    Abstract

    TIM-3 Signaling Hijacks the Canonical Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway to Maintain Cancer Stemness in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

    Scientists showed that the acute myeloid leukemia-specific autocrine loop constituted of T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) and its ligand, galectin-9, drove the canonical Wnt pathway to stimulate self-renewal and propagation of leukemic stem cells.

    Abstract

    Dynamics of CXCR4 Positive Circulating Tumor Cells in Prostate Cancer Patients during Radiotherapy

    Circulating tumor cells were analyzed in patients with metastatic prostate cancer during radiotherapy with CellSearch, multi-color flow cytometry, and imaging cytometry.
    [International Journal of Cancer]

    Abstract

    Low-Dose Phthalates Promote Breast Cancer Stem Cell Properties via the Oncogene ΔNp63α and the Sonic Hedgehog Pathway

    The authors studied the effects of low-dose human phthalate exposure on breast CSCs to explore its underlying mechanism as they remain largely unexplored.

    LMP1 Mediates Tumorigenesis through Persistent Epigenetic Modifications and PGC1β Upregulation

    Researchers investigated the potential mechanism for transient EBV/LMP1 exposure‑mediated persistent peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor‑γ coactivator‑1β (PGC1β) expression and subsequent tumorigenesis through modification of mitochondrial function.
    [Oncology Reports]

    Abstract

    Cancer Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Preferentially Target MHC-II–Macrophages and PD1+ T Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment

    Investigators used genetic approaches to specifically label CSC-derived extracellular vesicles and to perform Sortase-mediated in vivo proximity labeling of CSC niche cells.
