    FTO-Mediated Cytoplasmic m6Am Demethylation Adjusts Stem-Like Properties in Colorectal Cancer Cell

    Researchers showed that the cytoplasmic pool of fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) impeded cancer stem cellabilities in colorectal cancer through its N6,2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) demethylase activity.

    Transmembrane and Coiled-Coil Domain Family 3 (TMCC3) Regulates Breast Cancer Stem Cell and AKT Activation

    Researchers demonstrated greater expression of TMCC3 in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) than non-BCSCs and higher expression of TMCC3 in metastatic lymph nodes and lungs than in primary tumor of breast cancer patient-derived xenograft.

    Circulating Stromal Cells in Resectable Pancreatic Cancer Correlates to Pathological Stage and Predicts for Poor Clinical Outcomes

    Blood samples were procured from 63 pancreatic cancer patients prior to the start of therapeutic intent. Cancer associated macrophage-like cells (CAMLs) were found in 95% of samples tested, with ≥12 CAMLs/7.5 mL and ≥50 µm CAMLs both predicting for advanced pathological stage and progression free survival.

    Detection of Clustered Circulating Tumor Cells in Early Breast Cancer

    Exploiting nanostructured titanium oxide-coated slides for shear-free circulating tumor cell (CTC) identification, the authors detected clustered CTCs in the curative setting of multiple patients with early breast cancer prior to surgical treatment, highlighting their presence already at early disease stages.

    SOCS6 Promotes Radiosensitivity and Decreases Cancer Cell Stemness in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Regulating C-Kit Ubiquitylation

    57 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients were enrolled for survival analysis. SOCS6 was stably overexpressed in HPV+ ESCC and ESCC cells, and cells were treated with radiation and then subjected to colony formation assays.

    Neuregulin-1-β1 and γ-Secretase Play a Critical Role in Sphere-Formation and Cell Survival of Urothelial Carcinoma Cancer Stem-Like Cells

    NRG1 has been determined to be involved in frequent gene fusions with other partners in several malignancies and has a role in carcinogenesis through the NRG1 EGF-like domain and its cognitive receptor ERBBs. Researchers elucidated the function of NRG1 in urothelial carcinoma CSCs/cancer-initiating cells.
