NOX1 and NPY1R Mark Regional Colon Stem Cell Populations That Serve As Cancer Origins In Vivo

[Nature Cell Biology] Researchers reported the identification of NOX1 and NPY1R as cell-surface markers enriched in LGR5+ stem cells predominantly within the caecum and exclusively within the middle and distal colorectum, respectively.

RIPPLY1 Suppresses Cancer Cell Stemness via Targeting TBX19 in CTNNB1-Mutated Hepatocellular Carcinoma

[Advanced Science] Scientists unveiled the role of ripply transcriptional repressor 1 (RIPPLY1) in the regulation of cancer cell stemness in CTNNB1-mutated hepatocellular carcinomas.

Intracellular Interleukin-1α in Peritumoral Monocytes Induces IL8 Production and Inhibits Mitophagy to Promote Stemness and Metastasis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

[Cancer Research] Reserachers investigated the expression and distinctive role of IL-1α in tumor progression. The upregulated IL-1α was neither secreted by nor displayed on the cell surface of monocytes; instead, IL-1α translocated into the nucleus to induce the production of IL-8, which effectively enhanced cancer cell stemness and tumor metastasis.

Synapsin III Promotes Neuronal-Like Transdifferentiation of Glioblastoma Stem Cells by Disrupting JAG1-Notch1 Interaction

[Neuro-Oncology] The authors reveal the therapeutic potential of SYN3 in regulating glioblastoma (GBM) stem cell fate and offer a novel differentiation-based approach for GBM therapy.

Integrated Control of Cancer Stemness by σ Receptor in Advanced Prostate Cancer

[Oncogene] Investigators provided evidence of an essential link between the σ1 receptor (σ1R), a ligand-regulated chaperone protein residing preferentially at the endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria contact sites, and CSCs in castration-resistant prostate cancers.

SOCS1 Depletion Drives Osteosarcoma Stemness and Chemoresistance by Suppressing ACTN4 Degradation

[Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] Scientists investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the chemoresistance and stemness in osteosarcoma. Two cisplatin-resistant osteosarcoma cell line models were established by culturing parental U2OS and 143B cells with escalating cisplatin concentrations over a 6-month period.

Photodynamic Therapy Using Talaporfin Sodium and Semiconductor Laser Induces Dose and Time Dependent Cytocidal Effect for Human Glioma Derived Stem Cells

[Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy] Researchers investigated photodynamic therapy using talaporfin sodium in patient-derived glioma stem cells and provided a foundation for future translational research.

Inhibition of PI3K and Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Inhibits Hypoxia-Induced Vasculogenic Mimicry Formation in Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells

[Balkan Medical Journal] Investigators explored the roles of the PI3K/AKT and Hedgehog signaling pathways in vasculogenic mimicry formation and the underlying mechanisms in ovarian cancer stem cells.

Pien Tze Huang Attenuates Cell Proliferation and Stemness Promoted by Mir-483-5p in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells

[Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine] Scientists investigated the effect of miR-483-5p on hepatocellular carcinoma cells proliferation and stemness, as well as the attenuating effect of Pien Tze Huang.

Cancer Stem Cells in Focus: Deciphering the Dynamic Functional Landscape of Stemness in Cancer

[Hepatology] The authors examine CSC heterogeneity and regulation, while highlighting limitations of current markers and models. They propose that not all committed cancer cells sustain tumour growth; rather, a subset with stem-competent potential may dedifferentiate into CSCs.

Xilio Therapeutics Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Trial for Efarindodekin Alfa (XTX301), a Tumor-Activated IL-12, and Achievement of $17.5 Million Development Milestone Under Exclusive...

[Xilio Therapeutics, Inc.] Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. announced the initiation of patient dosing in Phase II of an ongoing Phase I/II clinical trial evaluating efarindodekin alfa, a tumor-activated IL-12, as a monotherapy in patients with certain advanced solid tumors.

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Ligands Drive Pancreatic Cancer Initiation and Progression through Pro-Tumorigenic T Cell Polarization

[Cancer Discovery] The authors showed that aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands found in cigarette smoke, like the carcinogen 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, promote pancreatic dysplasia and PDAC progression in a mouse model of this disease.
