    Cilium Induction Triggers Differentiation of Glioma Stem Cells

    Investigators showed that patient-derived glioma-stem cells recruited elevated levels of proteins that ensured the temporal cilium disassembly, leading to suppressed ciliogenesis.

    Tumor-Initiating Stem Cell Shapes Its Microenvironment into an Immunosuppressive Barrier and Pro-Tumorigenic Niche

    Using DNA-label retaining, single-cell RNA sequencing, and other approaches, researchers investigated intestinal adenoma in response to chemoradiotherapy, thus identifying therapy-resistant tumor-initiating stem cells.

    LGR6 Activates the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway and Forms a β-Catenin/TCF7L2/LGR6 Feedback Loop in LGR6high Cervical Cancer Stem Cells

    By analyzing The Cancer Genome Atlas database, the leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 6 (LGR6) was found to be correlated with a poor prognosis of cervical cancer.

    Sulfarotene, a Synthetic Retinoid, Overcomes Stemness and Sorafenib Resistance of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Suppressing SOS2-RAS Pathway

    Researchers evaluated the pharmacology and mechanism of sulfarotene, a new type of synthetic retinoid, on the CSC-like properties of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor-repopulating cells, and assessed its preclinical efficacy in models of HCC patient-derived xenografts

    Downregulated CLIP3 Induces Radioresistance by Enhancing Stemness and Glycolytic Flux in Glioblastoma

    Patient-derived glioma stem-like cells, glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines, intracranial GBM xenografts, and GBM sections were used to measure mRNA and protein expression and determine the related molecular mechanisms by qRT-PCR, immunoblot, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, OCR, ECAR, live-cell imaging, and immunohistochemistry.

    Characterization of Glioblastoma Cancer Stem Cells Sorted by Sedimentation Field-Flow Fractionation Using an Ultrahigh-Frequency Range Dielectrophoresis Biosensor

    Investigators demonstrated the capability of using an ultrahigh-frequency range dielectrophoresis fluidic biosensor as a detector. This implied an important methodological adaptation of sedimentation field-flow fractionation cell sorting by the use of a new compatible carrier liquid DEP buffer.

    MicroRNA-148a/152 Cluster Restrains Tumor Stem Cell Phenotype of Colon Cancer via Modulating CCT6A

    Colon CSCs were selected and high/low expression of miR-148a/152 plasmids were synthesized to intervene CD44+/CD133+ colon CSCs to investigate the function of miR-148a/152 in invasion, migration, proliferation, colony formation and apoptosis of cells.

    Abstract

    The Metabolic Flexibility of Quiescent CSC: Implications for Chemotherapy Resistance

    Scientists focus on the roles of metabolic flexibility and the tumor microenvironment (TME) on CSCs quiescence and further discuss potential treatments of targeting CSCs and the TME to limit chemotherapy resistance.
