    TOP STORY

    Transcriptional Super-Enhancers Control Cancer Stemness and Metastasis Genes in Squamous Cell Carcinoma
    Investigators showed that super-enhancers played a critical role in the transcription of cancer stemness genes as well as pro-metastatic genes, thereby controlling their tumorigenic potential and metastasis.

    Aggressive Early-Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma Is Characterized by Epithelial Cell Plasticity with Acquirement of Stem-Like Traits and Immune Evasion Phenotype
    Researchers found that loss of lung cell lineage and gain of stem cell-like characteristics, along with mutator and immune evasion phenotypes, explained the aggressive behavior of a specific subset of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) that was called C1-LUAD, including early-stage disease.

    QAP14 Suppresses Breast Cancer Stemness and Metastasis via Activation of Dopamine D1 Receptor
    Scientists found that QAP14 inhibited colony formation, cell motility, mammosphere formation and CSC frequency, induced CSC apoptosis and dopamine D1 receptor expression, and increased cAMP/cGMP levels.

    Abstract

    Androgen Receptor Variant Shows Heterogeneous Expression in Prostate Cancer According to Differentiation Stage
    The authors presented a single-circulating tumor cell (CTC) sensitive digital droplet PCR assay for the quantitation of the two most common androgen receptor variants (AR-Vs), AR-V7, and AR-v567es, using antigen agnostic CTC enrichment.

    Development of an Arteriolar Niche and Self-Renewal of Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Lysophosphatidic Acid/Protein Kinase D Signaling
    Scientists indicated that CSCs may enjoy blood perfusion to maintain their stemness features. Targeting the lysophosphatidic acid/protein kinase D -CD36 signaling pathway may have therapeutic potential to curb tumor progression by disrupting the arteriolar niche and effectively eliminating CSCs.

    Integrated Lipidomics and Proteomics Reveal Cardiolipin Alterations, Upregulation of HADHA and Long Chain Fatty Acids in Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells
    Pancreatic cancer stem cells (PCSCs) play a key role in the aggressiveness of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas; however, little is known about their signaling and metabolic pathways. The authors showed that PCSCs had specific and common proteome and lipidome modulations.

    Circulating Tumor Cells at Baseline and Late Phase of Treatment Provide Prognostic Value in Breast Cancer
    To determine the prognostic value of the timing of circulating breast tumor cell measurement during treatment, peripheral blood from 164 patients with breast disease was collected.
