    Stem-Like Cells Drive NF1-Associated MPNST Functional Heterogeneity and Tumor Progression

    Investigators discovered and characterized a rare malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) cell population with stem-cell-like properties, including quiescence, that was essential for tumor initiation and relapse.

    RANK Links Senescence to Stemness in the Mammary Epithelia, Delaying Tumor Onset but Increasing Tumor Aggressiveness

    The authors uncovered a dual role for Rank in the mammary epithelia: Rank induced senescence and stemness, delaying tumor initiation but increasing tumor aggressiveness.

    Clinically Relevant Aberrant Filip1l DNA Methylation Detected in a Murine Model of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Scientists found increased average methylation in mouse cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) as well as in stem-cell-like, but not keratinocyte-like, human cSCC.

    Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promote Prostate Cancer Cell Stemness via Cell–Cell Contact to Activate the Jagged1/Notch1 Pathway

    The authors investigated the effect of direct contact of prostate cancer (PCa) cells with mesenchymal stem cells on the stemness of PCa and its mechanisms.

    Aspartame Induces Cancer Stem Cell Enrichment through p21, NICD and GLI1 in Human PANC-1 Pancreas Adenocarcinoma Cells

    Researchers indicated that a high level of glucose exposure does not affect the invasion and migration of PANC-1 cells, while aspartame increases both of these aggressiveness criteria.

    Abstract

    ID4 Predicts Poor Prognosis and Promotes BDNF-Mediated Oncogenesis of Colorectal Cancer

    The expression of Inhibitor of DNA binding and cell differentiation 4 (ID4), but not other ID family proteins, was enriched in LGR5-high colon cancer stem cells.

    Abstract

    CD133 mRNA Transfected Dendritic Cells Induces a Coordinated Cytotoxic and Helper T Cell Responses against Breast Cancer Stem Cells

    Investigators hypothesized that by creating an MHC independent vaccination, they would give rise to a sustained immune response against CD133 in triple-negative breast carcinomas.

    Clinical Significance of Circulating Tumor Cell Related Markers in Patients with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Before and after Adjuvant Chemotherapy

    Using quantitative real-time PCR, the authors evaluated the expression of EPCAM, MUC1, CEA, HE4, and CA125 mRNAs, as putative markers of circulating tumor cells, in the blood of 51 epithelial ovarian cancer patients before and/or after adjuvant chemotherapy.

    Hematopoietic versus Leukemic Stem Cell Quiescence: Challenges and Therapeutic Opportunities

    Scientists summarize the current knowledge on the biochemical characteristics of quiescent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and leukemic stem cells (LSCs), the intracellular signaling pathways and the niche-driven mechanisms that control quiescence and the key differences between HSC- and LSC-quiescence.
