Targeting Kinesin Family Member 20A Sensitizes Stem-Like Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells to Standard Chemotherapy

[Journal of Clinical Investigation] Investigators dissected the transcriptome of breast CSCs (BCSCs) and identified kinesin family member 20A as a key regulator of BCSC survival and triple negative breast cancer tumorigenesis.

Targeting of the m6a Eraser ALKBH5 Suppresses Stemness and Chemoresistance of Colorectal Cancer

[Nature Communications] Researchers found that AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) expression positively correlates with CSC markers in colorectal cancer patients. ALKBH5 induces self-renewal and stemness markers in colorectal CSCs and patient-derived organoids.

Targeting Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy Inhibits Properties of Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Restores Anti-Tumor Immunity

[Nature Communications] Investigators showed that chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) is upregulated in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, indicated by a significant increase in the lysosomal abundance of the CMA receptor, lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 A.

HIF-1-Mediated ISG20 Expression Promotes Breast Cancer Stemness and Immune Evasion

[Journal of Experimental Medicine] The authors demonstrated that transcription of the ISG20 gene, which encodes an RNA exonuclease, is activated by HIF-1 in triple negative breast cancer cells.

Matrix Stiffness Maintains Bladder Cancer Stemness via Integrin-Nuclear Skeleton Axis

[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists showed that as bladder cancer progresses, matrix stiffness increases, and tumor stemness increases.

Tumor-Educated-Platelets Interact with Breast Cancer-Stem-Cells via P-Selectin-PSGL1 and Ensure Stemness and Metastasis through WNT-β-Catenin-VEGF-VEGFR2 Intra-Cellular Signaling: Therapeutic Modulation by Aspirin

[Breast Cancer Research] Impact of tumor educated platelets on breast CSCs was evaluated from primary breast tumor and blood samples of luminal A/triple negative breast cancer patients along with EC/4T1 murine breast tumor models and MCF-7/MDA-MB-231 cell lines.

NRAV Promotes HCC Stemness via the m6a-Regulated Let-7c-5p/LIN28B Axis

[Cancer Gene Therapy] Investigators identified negative regulator of antiviral response (NRAV) as an m6A-modified lncRNA that promotes HCC stemness through a defined molecular axis.

Inhibition of the Mevalonate Pathway Targets Neuroblastoma Stem Cells

[Pharmacology] Researchers observed the use of mevalonate pathway inhibitors against the CSC population of high-risk neuroblastoma cell lines SH-SY5Y, SK-N-AS, and SK-N-BE(2)-C using spheroid-based assays.

Dysregulation of the Cyclin D/E2F Activity As a Core Mechanism Driving Cancer Stem Cell Plasticity and Cell Cycle Dynamics

[Cell Cycle] The authors outline a conceptual model that integrates aberrant G1/S control with CSC state transitions.

Engineering CAR T NK and NKT Cell Therapies to Target Cancer Stem Cells and Overcome Stem like Resistance

[Discover Oncology] Investigators provide a comprehensive overview of CSC biology, the foundational principles of CAR engineering, and the current clinical landscape of these cellular immunotherapies.

UT Health San Antonio Awarded $3 Million CPRIT Grant to Bolster Cancer Research and Prevention Efforts in South Texas

[UT Health San Antonio] UT Health San Antonio received nearly $3 million in new academic and prevention awards as part of the latest, almost $154 million funding round announced by the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT).

Microenvironmental Cell Interactions Are Essential for Sustaining Functionality of Myelofibrosis Malignant Stem Cells

[Blood] To model in vivo cancer stem cell/tumor microenvironment interactions and elucidate their functional consequences, scientists focused on myelofibrosis, a stem cell driven myeloproliferative neoplasm.
