    Targeting KRAS4A Splicing through the RBM39/DCAF15 Pathway Inhibits Cancer Stem Cells

    The authors demonstrated that coordinated regulation of both isoforms through control of splicing was essential for development of Kras mutant tumors. The minor KRAS4A isoform was enriched in cancer stem-like cells, where it responded to hypoxia, while the major KRAS4B was induced by ER stress.

    Extracellular Matrix Protein-1 Secretory Isoform Promotes Ovarian Cancer through Increasing Alternative mRNA Splicing and Stemness

    Investigators reported that the secretory extracellular matrix protein-1 isoform induced tumorigenesis through the GPR motif binding to integrin αXβ2 and the activation of AKT/FAK/Rho/cytoskeleton signaling.

    Induction Therapy of Retinoic Acid with a Temozolomide-Loaded Gold Nanoparticle-Associated Ultrasound Effect on Glioblastoma Cancer Stem-Like Colonies

    Researchers established a niche for glioblastoma stem-like cell selection as a platform and facilitated the assessment of differentiation therapy on glioblastoma multiforme cancer stem-like colonies by retinoic acid with temozolomide-loaded gold nanoparticles associated with low-intensity ultrasound.

    TNF-α-Induced Alterations in Stromal Progenitors Enhance Leukemic Stem Cell Growth via CXCR2 Signaling

    Using a murine chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) model, the authors examined leukemia-induced alterations in mesenchymal cell populations and showed that 6C3+ stromal progenitors expanded in CML bone marrow and exhibited increased leukemia stem cells but reduced hematopoietic stem cell supportive capacity.

    Transcriptome Profiles of Stem-Like Cells from Primary Breast Cancers Allow Identification of ITGA7 as a Predictive Marker of Chemotherapy Response

    Scientists identified the consistent transcriptome of primary breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) shared across breast cancer subtypes and examined the clinical relevance of ITGA7, one of the genes differentially expressed in BCSCs.

    Insights Into Homeobox B9: A Propeller for Metastasis in Dormant Prostate Cancer Progenitor Cells

    The authors suggested that homeobox B9 (HOXB9) may have contributed to prostate cancer tumorigenesis and metastasis via transforming growth factor beta signaling.

    LINC00115 Promotes Stemness and Inhibits Apoptosis of Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells by Upregulating SOX9 and Inhibiting the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway through Competitively Binding to microRNA-30a

    Long non-coding RNAs and miRNAs are differentially expressed in ovarian cancer (OC) cells and influence OC progression. Researchers explored the underlying roles of LINC00115 and miRNA-30a in OC.

    Carcinoma Associated Fibroblasts Small Extracellular Vesicles with Low miR-7641 Promotes Breast Cancer Stemness and Glycolysis by HIF-1α

    The roles of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from cancer-associated fibroblasts on breast CSC properties are largely unraveled. Investigators explored the roles of sEVs from cancer-associated fibroblasts on breast cancer progression.

    Spelling Out CICs: A Multi-Organ Examination of the Contributions of Cancer Initiating Cells’ Role in Tumor Progression

    The authors describe cancer-initiating cells’ (CICs) contribution to cancer progression and discuss mechanisms through which CICs promote tumor invasion and metastasis by examining the role of CICs in each stage.
