Scientists observed high Shc3 expression in patients with chemoresistant and recurrent hepatocellular carcinomas. Shc3 overexpression induced a significant increase in MDR1/P-glycoprotein expression, whereas Shc3 knockdown impaired this expression.

Researchers examined p97 expression in the stem-like cancer cells or CSCs, a cell population that purportedly underscores cancer initiation, therapeutic resistance, and recurrence. [Cell Death & Disease]

The authors showed that the loss of the junctional scaffold protein MAGI1 was associated with bad prognosis in luminal breast cancer, and promoted tumorigenesis.

Employing hormone-independent mammary cancer models, Gö6976 and all-trans-retinoic acid combined treatment induced a synergistic reduction in proliferative potential that correlated with an increased apoptosis and RARs modulation towards an anti-oncogenic profile.

The authors investigated B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (BMI1) expression in brain tumors using microarray datasets in ONCOMINE, which indicated that BMI1 levels were not commonly increased in clinical brain tumors.

CSC phenotype cells were isolated and the expression of stem cell marker and epithelial-mesenchymal transition associated gene was confirmed by various assays.

Gastric cancer stem-like cells were transfected by hsa-miR-451b inhibitor then researchers used real-time RT-PCR to evaluate its effect on the expression of hsa-miR-451b and two of its direct target genes, stemness markers such as KLF4, SOX2, CD44, OCT3/4 and NANOG genes. [Biochemical Genetics]

Since CSCs mirror the phenotypic behavior of stem cells, scientists describe the roles played by YY1 in embryonic and adult stem cells.

The author examines the last two decades of CSC studies in the field. Seminal discoveries, emerging controversies and outstanding questions will be covered with a particular focus on medulloblastoma, the most common malignant primary brain tumor in children. [FEBS Journal]
