    Abstract

    C3G Downregulation Induces the Acquisition of a Mesenchymal Phenotype That Enhances Aggressiveness of Glioblastoma Cells

    The authors report that C3G downregulation promoted the acquisition of a more mesenchymal phenotype that enhanced the migratory and invasive capacity of glioblastoma cells.

    Silencing PTEN in the Fallopian Tube Promotes Enrichment of Cancer Stem Cell-Like Function through Loss of PAX2

    Loss of PTEN in fallopian tube epithelium led to the enrichment of CSC markers such as LGR5, WNT4, ALDH1, CD44.

    ISG15 Is Downregulated by KLF12 and Implicated in Maintenance of Cancer Stem Cell-Like Features in Cisplatin-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

    Investigators identified that both ectopic wild type and nonISGylatable mutant interferon‐stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) expression inhibited CSC‐like phenotypes of cisplatin‐resistant ovarian cancer cells.

    Tideglusib Suppresses Stem-Cell-Like Features and Progression of Osteosarcoma by Inhibiting GSK-3β/NOTCH1 Signaling

    The authors found that tideglusib (TID) markedly reduced the cell viability of different osteosarcoma cell lines. Cell cycle arrest distributed in G2/M was markedly up-regulated in TID-incubated osteosarcoma cells through enhancing p21 expression levels.

    Abstract

    The AXL-PYK2-PKCα Axis as a Nexus of Stemness Circuits in TNBC

    Scientists identified a clinically relevant signaling nexus mediated by AXL receptor, PYK2 and PKCα and show its impact on stemness in triple-negative breast cancer.
