Targeting Nuclear LSD1 to Reprogram Cancer Cells and Reinvigorate Exhausted T Cells via a Novel LSD1-EOMES Switch

Researchers showed that circulating tumor cells isolated from immunotherapy-resistant metastatic melanoma patients expressed higher levels of nuclear lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) phosphorylated at serine 111 compared to responders, which is associated with co-expression of stem-like, mesenchymal genes.

Dual Role of WISP1 in Maintaining Glioma Stem Cells and Tumor-Supportive Macrophages in Glioblastoma

Researchers showed that glioma stem cells (GSCs) secreted the Wnt‐induced signaling protein 1 (WISP1) to facilitate a pro-tumor microenvironment by promoting the survival of both GSCs and tumor-associated macrophages.

MicroRNA-128-3p Enhances the Chemosensitivity of Temozolomide in Glioblastoma by Targeting c-Met and EMT

The effects of miR-128-3p and temozolomide (TMZ) on the proliferation of glioblastoma cells were investigated by cell counting kit-8. Transwell and intracerebral invasion assays were applied to determine the effects of the combination of miR-128-3p and TMZ on the invasion and migration of glioblastoma in vitro and in vivo.

A Positive Feedback Loop between c-Myc Up-Regulation, Glycolytic Shift and Histone Acetylation Enhances Cancer Stem Cell-Like Property and Tumorigenicity of Cr(VI)-Transformed Cells

Researchers investigated the potential role and mechanism of metabolism dysregulation in chronic hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] carcinogenesis. It was found that Cr(VI)-transformed cells displayed glycolytic shift, which depends on the up-regulation of c-Myc.

ARS2/MAGL Signaling in Glioblastoma Stem Cells Promotes Self-Renewal and M2-Like Polarization of Tumor-Associated Macrophages

Investigators demonstrated that arsenite-resistance protein 2 (ARS2), a zinc finger protein that is essential for early mammalian development, played critical roles in glioblastoma stem cell maintenance and M2-like tumor-associated macrophage polarization.
