    TOP STORY

    Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism Contributes to a Cancer Stem Cell Phenotype in Cholangiocarcinoma
    Investigators analyzed whether mitochondrial-dependent metabolism and related signaling pathways contribute to stem state in cholangiocarcinoma.

    Targeting Cancer Stem Cells with a Pan-BCL-2 Inhibitor in Pre-Clinical and Clinical Settings in Patients with Gastroesophageal Carcinoma
    Extensive pre-clinical studies in vitro and in vivo were carried out to establish the mechanism action of AT101 on targeting CSCs and antiapoptotic proteins.

    Abstract

    Genome-Wide CRISPR-Cas9 Screen Identified KLF11 as a Druggable Suppressor for Sarcoma Cancer Stem Cells
    Kruppel-like factor 11 (KLF11) recruited SIN3A/HDAC to suppress the transcriptional output of YAP/TEAD, which, in turn, promoted KLF11 transcription, forming a negative feedback loop.

    Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Secreted Extracellular Vesicles Instruct Stepwise Dedifferentiation of Breast Cancer Cells into Dormancy at the Bone Marrow Perivascular Region
    Investigators addressed the early period of dormancy when breast cancer cells entered bone marrow at the perivascular region to begin the transition into cancer stem cells, which they proposed as the final step in dormancy.

    Abstract

    Targeting the Sonic Hedgehog Pathway to Suppress the Expression of the Cancer Stem Cell (CSC)—Related Transcription Factors and CSC-Driven Thyroid Tumor Growth
    Scientists report that inhibition of the sonic hedgehog pathway by Gli1 siRNA or by cyclopamine and GANT61 reduced BMI1 and SOX2 expression in SW1736 and KAT-18 cells, two anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines.

    Cancer Stem Cells in Metastatic Head and Neck Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Express Components of the Renin-Angiotensin System
    The authors investigated the expression of components of the renin-angiotensin system by CSC subpopulations in metastatic head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

    Comparative Stemness and Differentiation of Luminal and Basal Breast Cancer Stem Cell Type under Glutamine-Deprivation
    Scientists showed that breast cancer stem cells differentiated into CD24+ epithelial population under glutamine-deprivation and demonstrated increased expression of epithelial markers such as e-cadherin, claudin-1 and decreased expression of mesenchymal protein n-cadherin.

    Abstract

    Upregulation of KIF11 in TP53 Mutant Glioma Promotes Tumor Stemness and Drug Resistance
    Researchers accessed the TCGA open datasets, collected glioma tumor tissue samples, and analyzed the expression of kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) in glioma patients.
    [Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology]
    Abstract

    Berberine Inhibits Chemotherapy-Exacerbated Ovarian Cancer Stem Cell-Like Characteristics and Metastasis through GLI1
    The authors found that chemotherapy exacerbated the migration and CSC-like characteristics through transcriptional factor GLI1, which regulated the pluripotency-associated gene BMI1 and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers Vimentin and Snail.

    REVIEWS

    The Role of the Microenvironment and Immune System in Regulating Stem Cell Fate in Cancer
    The authors focus on the role of the microenvironment in the acquisition and/or maintenance of stem cell states in cancer in the context of resistance and metastasis. They further discuss the role of cancer stem cells in immune evasion through the course of metastasis, dormancy, and relapse.

    EMT-Associated MicroRNAs and Their Roles in Cancer Stemness and Drug Resistance
    Scientists looked into the various roles that the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition‐associated microRNAs play in the stem‐like nature of malignant cells.
