    METTL14 Facilitates Global Genome Repair and Suppresses Skin Tumorigenesis

    Scientists showed that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) , a critical component of the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methyltransferase complex, promoted global genome repair through regulating m6A mRNA methylation–mediated DDB2 translation and suppresses ultraviolet B radiation-induced skin tumorigenesis.

    TET3 Promotes AML Growth and Epigenetically Regulates Glucose Metabolism and Leukemic Stem Cell Associated Pathways

    Investigators reported that the epigenetic factor, Ten-Eleven Translocation 3 (TET3) dioxygenase was overexpressed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and functionally validated human leukemic stem cells, and was required for leukemic growth by virtue of its regulation of glucose metabolism in AML cells.

    Transcriptional Control of Brain Tumor Stem Cells by a Carbohydrate Binding Protein

    The authors reported that the LGALS1 gene, encoding the carbohydrate binding protein, galectin1, is a key regulator of brain tumor stem cells and glioblastoma resistance to therapy.

    DAB2IP Destabilizes C-Myc to Impair the Growth and Self-Renewal of Colon Tumor-Repopulating Cells

    The authors reported that elevated c-Myc protein supported formation and growth of tumor-repopulating cell spheroids. The tumor suppressor DOC-2/DAB2 interactive protein suppressed c-Myc expression to inhibit tumor-repopulating cells expansion and self-renewal.

    Adipose-Derived Stem/Stromal Cell Secretome Modulates Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation and Differentiation State towards Aggressiveness

    To understand the role of the adipose-derived stem cell secretome in breast cancer cell proliferation, death, and phenotype alteration, adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium was used to cultivate MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.

    The Plasticity of Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells: Implications in Therapeutic Resistance

    A better understanding of the molecular and functional landscape of pancreatic cancer (PC) stem cells-intrinsic evasion of chemotherapeutic drugs offers a facile opportunity for treating PC, an intractable cancer with a grim prognosis and in dire need of effective therapeutic advances.

    The Implications of Nitric Oxide Metabolism in the Treatment of Glial Tumors

    The influence of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity on glioma stem cells seem to be of particular importance. The use of specific inhibitors may allow the reduction of tumor growth and its tendency to relapse.

    INDUSTRY AND POLICY NEWS

    HUTCHMED Initiates a Phase Ib/II Trial of Fruquintinib in Combination with Tislelizumab in Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer or Advanced Endometrial Cancer

    HUTCHMED initiated a Phase Ib/II study of fruquintinib in combination with BeiGene’s tislelizumab in patients with advanced triple negative breast cancer or advanced endometrial cancer in the US. This trial is to explore the potential for the addition of a highly selective vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, fruquintinib, to anti-programmed death-1 antibody tislelizumab in inducing activity to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
