    Sequential
    Fate-Switches in Stem-Like Cells Drive the Tumorigenic Trajectory from Human Neural Stem Cells to Malignant Glioma
    Researchers established two highly penetrant human neural stem cell-derived malignant glioma models, which resembled the histopathology and transcriptional heterogeneity of human glioblastoma.

    The
    Epigenetic Regulator Mll1 Is Required for Wnt-Driven Intestinal Tumorigenesis and Cancer Stemness
    Investigators identified the histone methyltransferase Mll1 as a regulator of Wnt-driven intestinal cancer. Mll1 is highly expressed in Lgr5+ stem cells and human colon carcinomas with increased nuclear β-catenin.

    Abstract

    Targeting
    USP47 Overcomes Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance and Eradicates Leukemia Stem/Progenitor Cells in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
    The knockout of Usp47 significantly inhibited BCR-ABL and BCR-ABLT315I-induced CML in mice with the reduction of Lin−Sca1+c-Kit+ chronic myelogenous leukemia stem/progenitor cells.

    Identification
    of Diverse Tumor Endothelial Cell Populations in Malignant Glioma
    Using in utero electroporation and CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering to generate a native, immunocompetent mouse model of glioma, the authors characterized vascular-tumor dynamics in three dimensions during tumor progression.
    [Neuro-Oncology]
    Abstract

    Piwil1
    Regulates Glioma Stem Cell Maintenance and Glioblastoma Progression
    Researchers report that Piwi-like family members were overexpressed in glioblastoma, with Piwil1 most frequently overexpressed. Piwil1 was enriched in glioma stem-like cells to maintain self-renewal.

    Integrated
    Decoding Hematopoiesis and Leukemogenesis Using Single-Cell Sequencing and Its Medical Implication
    Scientists analyzed ~200,000 single-cell transcriptomes of bone marrow mononuclear cells and its subsets from 23 clinical samples. They constructed a comprehensive cell atlas as hematopoietic reference.

    Transcriptional
    Activators YAP/TAZ and AXL Orchestrate Dedifferentiation, Cell Fate, and Metastasis in Human Osteosarcoma
    To identify key drivers of metastasis, scientists studied human CCH-osteocarcinoma (OS)-D OS cells within a previously described rat acellular lung model that preserved the native lung architecture, extracellular matrix, and capillary network.

    Dysfunctional
    EGFR and Oxidative Stress-Induced PKD1 Signaling Drive Formation of DCLK1+ Pancreatic Stem Cells
    While PanIN cells expressed oncogenic KRas and have increased activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the authors demonstrated that in doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1+) PanIN cells EGFR signaling was not propagated to the nucleus.

    BTF3
    Promotes Stemness and Inhibits Type â…  Interferon Signaling Pathway in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
    Researchers demonstrated that BTF3 expression is related with stem-like properties in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. BTF3 modulated stemness, migration and proliferation of TNBC in vitro.

    Interleukin-8,
    Neutrophils, and NETs in a Collusion against Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy
    IL-8 has been reported to favor cancer progression and metastases via different mechanisms, including pro-angiogenesis and maintenance of cancer stem cells, but its ability to attract and functionally modulate neutrophils and macrophages arguably may be the most important factors.
    [Clinical Cancer Research]
    Abstract

    Cancer Stemness Meets Immunity: From Mechanism to Therapy
    Scientists review the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the symbiotic interactions between cancer stem cells and immune cells and how such heterotypic signaling maintains a tumor-promoting ecosystem and informs therapeutic strategies intercepting this co-dependency.
