    Dopamine Receptor Antagonists, Radiation, and Cholesterol Biosynthesis in Mouse Models of Glioblastoma

    Treatment of glioma cells with the dopamine receptor antagonist quetiapine reduced glioma cell self-renewal in vitro and combined treatment of mice with quetiapine and radiation prolonged the survival of glioma-bearing mice.

    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 B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog an SRY-Box Transcription Factor 2 expression in SW1736 and KAT-18 cells, two anaplastic thyroid cancer cell lines.

    PPARα-Selective Antagonist GW6471 Inhibits Cell Growth in Breast Cancer Stem Cells Inducing Energy Imbalance and Metabolic Stress

    The authors isolated and characterized breast CSCs from a triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. The obtained mammospheres were then treated with the specific PPARα antagonist GW6471, after which, glucose, lipid metabolism, and invasiveness were analyzed.

    Circulating Prostate Cancer Cells Have Differential Resistance to Fluid Shear Stress-Induced Cell Death

    Researchers explored how prostate circulating tumor cells could resist cell death in response to forces of >1,000 dyn/cm2. The DU145, PC3, and LNCaP human prostate cancer cell lines were used to represent cells of different metastatic origins.

    Linking EMT Programmes to Normal and Neoplastic Epithelial Stem Cells

    The authors outline the instances where aspects of an epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been implicated in normal and neoplastic epithelial stem cells and consider the involvement of this programme during tissue regeneration and repair.

    Abstract

    Portrait of Cancer Stem Cells on Colorectal Cancer: Molecular Biomarkers, Signaling Pathways and miRNAome

    Investigators summarize the epigenetic findings linked to miRNAome in the maintenance and regulation of colorectal cancer (CRC) stem cells (CCSCs), including their relationships with different signaling pathways, which should help to identify specific diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers for CRC, but also develop innovative CCSCs-targeted therapies.
