    hsa_circ_0003222 Accelerates Stemness and Progression of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer by Sponging miR-527

    Researchers investigated the combined influence of CSCs, circRNA, and immune checkpoint inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancerprogression and therapy resistance. They constructed lung CSCs.

    BEX2 Is Required for Maintaining Dormant Cancer Stem Cell in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Scientists showed that brain expressed X-linked gene 2(BEX2), which is essential for dormant CSCs in cholangiocarcinoma, was highly expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions compared to the adjacent normal lesions, and that in 41 HCC cases the BEX2high expression group was correlated with a poor prognosis.

    Abstract

    Purinergic Receptor P2Y6 Is a Negative Regulator of NK Cell Maturation and Function

    The authors discovered that the expression of P2Y6 was decreased upon the activation of the NK cells. In the P2Y6-deficient mice, they found that the deficiency of P2Y6 promoted the development of the NK precursor cells into immature NK and mature NK cells.

    Ethanol-Based Garlic Extract Prevents Malignant Evolution of Non-Invasive Breast Tumor Cells Induced by Moderate Hypoxia

    Homemade ethanol-based garlic extract was administered to MCF7 and MCF10DCIS breast tumor cell lines grown under moderate hypoxia. Cell cycle, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cell markers were evaluated.

    Translocation of Intracellular CD24 Constitutes a Triggering Event for Drug Resistance in Breast Cancer

    Scientists evaluated the phenotype switching associated with drug resistance in breast cancer cell lines and cell lineage obtained from Brazilian patients and highlighted the role of the cancer stem cell marker CD24 in the dynamics of cell plasticity and the acquirement of drug resistance.

    Up-Regulation of miR-663a Inhibits the Cancer Stem Cell-Like Properties of Glioma via Repressing the KDM2A-Mediated TGF-β/SMAD Signaling Pathway

    Investigators explored the role and underlying mechanism of miR-663a in the proliferation, migration, invasion, and CSC-like properties of glioma cells.

    Abstract

    Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Acquired Gefitinib Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma

    Scientists successfully established lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with gefitinib resistance. Long-term gefitinib induction could increase the level of oxidative stress in lung adenocarcinoma cells and reduce the antioxidant capacity, resulting in the high expression of HIF-1 and ALDH1 and leading to the enrichment of CSCs, and a decreased response to gefitinib.

    Faciogenital Dysplasia 5 Confers the Cancer Stem Cell-Like Traits of Gastric Cancer Cells through Enhancing Sox2 Protein Stability

    Faciogenital dysplasia 5 (FGD5) was knocked down in gastric cancer cell lines through two independent siRNAs against FGD5 and it was identified that FGD5 knockdown suppressed the CSC—like traits of gastric cancer cells through analyzing the expression of CSC markers, ALDH1 activity and spheroid-formation ability.

    Colon Adenocarcinoma-Derived Cells Possessing Stem Cell Function Can Be Modulated Using Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibitors

    Primary cell lines derived from four high-grade colon adenocarcinoma tissues were treated with renin-angiotensin system inhibitors to investigate their effect on cellular metabolism, tumorsphere formation and transcription of pluripotency genes.
