Providence and Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) Partnering to Discover and Develop mRNA Therapeutics

[Providence Therapeutics, Inc.] Providence Therapeutic Holdings, Inc. and the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research announced the signing of a collaboration agreement for mRNA drug discovery and development.

Dark Force Rising: Reawakening and Targeting of Fetal-Like Stem Cells in Colorectal Cancer

[Cell Reports] The authors discuss critical mechanisms facilitating the plasticity between stem cell states and highlight the heterogeneity observed upon the appearance of fetal-like states. They focus on therapeutic opportunities that arise by targeting fetal-like colorectal cancer cells and how those concepts can be translated into the clinic.

Knockdown of YTHDF2 Initiates ERS-Induced Apoptosis and Cancer Stemness Suppression by Sustaining GLI2 Stability in Cervical Cancer

[Translational Oncology] Researchers showed how YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA-binding protein F2 (YTHDF2) controlled the fate of cervical cancer cells and whether YTHDF2 could be a valid target for the therapy of cervical cancer.

PA28γ Coordinates the Cross-Talk Between Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and Tumor Cells to Promote OSCC Progression via HDAC1/E2F3/IGF2 Signaling

[Cancer Letters] Using oral squamous cell carcinoma as a model, the authors demonstrated that PA28γ exhibited high expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts, and its expression significantly correlated with the severity of clinical indicators of malignancy.

Vasorin Promotes Endothelial Differentiation of Glioma Stem Cells via Stimulating the Transcription of VEGFR2

[FASEB Journal] Researchers showed that vasorin (VASN) expression positively correlates with glioma-derived endothelial cell signatures in glioma patients. VASN promotes the endothelial differentiation capacity of glioma stem cell (GSC) in vitro and participates in the formation of GSC-derived vessels in vivo.

Isolation and Phenotypic Characterization of Cancer Stem Cells From Metastatic Oral Cancer Cells

[Oral Diseases] E-cadherin levels were higher in CSC-E cells while vimentin and Slug more produced by CSC-M2 cells. CSC-M1 and CSC-M2 subpopulations showed higher proliferation, produced more colonies, and have stronger adhesion to the extracellular matrix.

Selective Targeting of IRAK1 Attenuates Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid-Induced Stemness and Non-Canonical STAT3 Activation in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

[Cell Death & Disease] The authors showed that IRAK1 was upregulated in EOC tissues, and enhanced expression correlates with poorer overall survival.

Platelet-Mediated Circulating Tumor Cell Evasion from Natural Killer Cell Killing via Immune Checkpoint CD155-TIGIT

[Hepatology] Scientists identified CTC-platelet adhesions by single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplex immunofluorescence of blood samples from multiple cancer types.

Oridonin, a Small Molecule Inhibitor of Cancer Stem Cell with Potent Cytotoxicity and Differentiation Potential

[European Journal of Pharmacology] Researchers introduced oridonin, a small molecule with dual differentiation-inducing and cytotoxicity properties capable of eliminating tumor CSCs.

BRG1/BRM Inhibitor Targets AML Stem Cells and Exerts Superior Preclinical Efficacy Combined with BET or Menin Inhibitor

[Blood] Investigators showed that FHD-286 induced differentiation and lethality in AML cells with MLL1 rearrangement or mutant NPM1, concomitantly causing perturbed chromatin accessibility and repression of c-Myc, PU.1, and CDK4/6.

PRMT5-Mediated Methylation of STAT3 Is Required for Lung Cancer Stem Cell Maintenance and Tumor Growth

[Communications Biology] Investigators showed that PRMT5 directly methylated STAT3 and enhances its activated tyrosine phosphorylation in non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Mammary Adenocarcinoma, MCa-P1362, with Hormone Receptor Expression, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Positivity, and Enrichment in Cancer...

[The American Journal Of Pathology] Detailed cellular and molecular characterization was conducted on MCa-P1362, a newly established mouse model of metastatic breast cancer that is syngeneic in BALB/c mice.
