    High Yap and Mll1 Promote a Persistent Regenerative Cell State Induced by Notch Signaling and Loss of p53

    Using intestinal organoids, researchers showed that concomitant activation of Notch signaling and ablation of p53 induced a highly proliferative and regenerative cell state, which was associated with increased levels of Yap and the histone methyltransferase Mll1.

    Abstract

    Oct4 Confers Stemness and Radioresistance to Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Regulating the Homologous Recombination Factors PSMC3IP and RAD54L

    Investigators provided evidence that the CSC-related transcription factor Oct4 contributed to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma radioresistance by regulating DNA damage response and the CSC phenotype.

    MicroRNA-200c Restoration Reveals a Cytokine Profile to Enhance M1 Macrophage Polarization in Breast Cancer

    To determine how triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) suppresses antitumor macrophages, scientists used microRNA-200c, a powerful repressor of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, to drive mesenchymal-like mouse mammary carcinoma and human TNBC cells toward a more epithelial state.

    Syndecan-1 Depletion Has a Differential Impact on Hyaluronic Acid Metabolism and Tumor Cell Behavior in Luminal and Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells

    Investigators studied the effect of syndecan-1 siRNA depletion and hyaluronic acid treatment on hallmark processes of cancer in breast cancer cell lines of different levels of aggressiveness.

    Fatty Acid β-Oxidation Promotes Breast Cancer Stemness and Metastasis via the miRNA-328-3p-CPT1A Pathway

    The authors found miR-328-3p to be significantly downregulated in breast cancer, revealing it as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer patients with metastasis, and also as a model for the miRNA-fatty acid β-oxidation-stemness axis.

    CHK1 Inhibitor Sensitizes Resistant Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells to Nortopsentin

    Scientists reported that exposure to a neo-synthetic bis(indolyl)thiazole alkaloid analog, Nortopsentin 234, led to an initial reduction of proliferative and clonogenic potential of colorectal cancer sphere cells (CR-CSphCs), followed by an adaptive response selecting the CR-CSphCs resistant compartment.

    BRM270 and Endostatin Synergistically Inhibit the Relapse of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer While Suppressing Lung Cancer Stem Cells Proliferation Induced by Endostatin

    Researchers clarified whether BRM270 could inhibit the proliferation of CSCs. Endostatin + BRM270 showed anti-tumor effects by reducing tumor volume and increasing survival.
