    Inhibiting DNA-PK Induces Glioma Stem Cell Differentiation and Sensitizes Glioblastoma to Radiation in Mice

    Scientists reported that DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) governed SOX2 stability through phosphorylation, resulting in glioma stem cell maintenance.

    Dual Role of WNT5A in Promoting Endothelial Differentiation of Glioma Stem Cells and Angiogenesis of Glioma Derived Endothelial Cells

    Researchers reported that wingless-related integration site family member 5A (WNT5A) played significant roles in glioma stem cell endothelial differentiation and glioma-derived endothelial cells’ angiogenesis.

    Abstract

    ZEB2 Facilitates Peritoneal Metastasis by Regulating the Invasiveness and Tumorigenesis of Cancer Stem-Like Cells in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancers

    Investigators demonstrated that ZEB2, the transcription factor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, was upregulated in ascites cells from high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients and in CD133+ cancer stem-like cells from epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines.

    RBM5-AS1 Promotes Radioresistance in Medulloblastoma through Stabilization of SIRT6 Protein

    The authors profiled CSC-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) between radioresistant and parental medulloblastoma cells. The roles of the lncRNA RBM5-AS1 in the stemness and radiosensitivity of medulloblastoma cells were investigated.

    Small Cell Lung Cancer Stem Cells Display Mesenchymal Properties and Exploit Immune Checkpoint Pathways in Activated Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes

    To determine the immune-modulatory influence of CSC in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), scientists focused on the characterization of CD44+CD90+ CSC-like subpopulations in SCLC.

    CD74 and CD44 Expression on CTCs in Cancer Patients with Brain Metastasis

    The authors assessed whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood could serve as a disease surrogate, focusing on CD44 and CD74 expression as prognostic markers for brain metastases.

    3-Hydroxyanthranic Acid Increases the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to Sorafenib by Decreasing Tumor Cell Stemness

    Researchers demonstrated that 3-HAA sensitized hepatocellular carcinoma cells to sorafenib by reducing tumor stemness.

    Heterotypic Clustering of Circulating Tumor Cells and Circulating Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Facilitates Breast Cancer Metastasis

    Investigators reported that dissemination of circulating tumor cells, circulating cancer-associated fibroblasts, and clusters were an early event in breast cancer (BC) progression, and they found these clusters in all clinical stages of BC.

    Abstract

    FGFR2 Maintains Cancer Cell Differentiation via AKT Signaling in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Scientists showed that fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), particularly the IIIb isoform, was highly expressed in non-CSCs.

    Abstract

    M2-Like Tumor-Associated Macrophage-Secreted IGF Promotes Thyroid Cancer Stemness and Metastasis by Activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway

    M2‑like tumor‑associated macrophages (TAMs) accelerated the metastasis and increased the stemness of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cells, and the underlying mechanism may have been related to the section of insulin‑like growth factor by M2‑like TAMs, which activated the IR‑A/IGF1R‑mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
