    A STAT5B-CD9 Axis Determines Self-Renewal in Hematopoietic and Leukemic Stem Cells

    Scientists found STAT5B to be specifically activated in HSCs and leukemic stem cells, where it induced many genes associated with quiescence and self-renewal, including the surface marker CD9.

    Simultaneous CK2/TNIK/DYRK1 Inhibition by 108600 Suppresses Triple Negative Breast Cancer Stem Cells and Chemotherapy-Resistant Disease

    The authors described a novel multi-kinase inhibitor, 108600, that suppressed growth, colony and mammosphere forming capacity of breast cancer stem cell-like cells and induced G2M arrest and apoptosis of triple-negative breast cancer cells.

    Identification of Cis-HOX-HOXC10 Axis as a Therapeutic Target for Colorectal Tumor-Initiating Cells without APC Mutations

    Circular RNA stabilizing HOXC10 (cis-HOX) was robustly expressed in colorectal tumor-initiating cells (TICs). cis-HOX knockout decreased colorectal TIC numbers and impaired the self-renewal, tumorigenesis, and metastatic capacities of TICs, whereas cis-HOX overexpression drove colorectal TIC self-renewal and metastasis.

    β-Catenin-CCL2 Feedback Loop Mediates Crosstalk between Cancer Cells and Macrophages That Regulates Breast Cancer Stem Cells

    Macrophages co-cultured with breast cancer cells showed a significant increase in CCL2 expression and promoted β-Catenin-induced breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) properties, whereas depletion of CCL2 by adding neutralizing antibodies suppressed BSCSs properties.

    Abstract

    RNF141 Interacts with KRAS to Promote Colorectal Cancer Progression

    The authors examined the expression of RNF141 in 64 pairs of colorectal cancer and adjacent normal tissues by real-time PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemical analysis.

    PIK3R3, Part of the Regulatory Domain of PI3K, Is Upregulated in Sarcoma Stem-Like Cells and Promotes Invasion, Migration, and Chemotherapy Resistance

    To identify drivers of sarcoma cancer stem-like cells, investigators compared gene expression using RNA sequencing between HT1080 fibrosarcoma and SK-LMS-1 leiomyosarcoma spheroids compared with the parent populations.

    Sublethal Doxorubicin Promotes Migration and Invasion of Breast Cancer Cells: Role of Src Family Non-Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

    Researchers showed that sublethal doxorubicin treatment led to increased migration and invasion in otherwise non-invasive MCF7 breast cancer cells.

    Development and In Vitro Characterisation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Model of Ovarian Cancer

    An ovarian cancer cell line, PEO4, was initially reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells using the classical four factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and MYC using lentivirus transduction.

    The Synergistic Anticancer Traits of Graphene Oxide Plus Doxorubicin Against BT474 and MCF7 Breast Cancer Stem Cells In Vitro

    Different concentrations of doxorubicin (DOX), graphene oxide, and graphene oxide plus doxorubicin (GO-DOX) were subjected to MCF7 and BT474 human breast cancer cells at specified intervals.

    Cellular Senescence or Stemness: Hypoxia Flips the Coin

    Investigators discuss the role of hypoxia facilitating senescence bypass during malignant transformation and acquisition of stemness properties, which all contribute to tumor development and cancer disease aggressiveness.
