    Abstract

    EHMT1 Promotes Tumor Progression and Maintains Stemness by Regulating ALDH1A1 Expression in Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma

    Researchers reported that the enzyme euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1) was expressed in primary and relapsed Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma tumors.

    Abstract

    Targeted Intervention of eIF4A1 Inhibits EMT and Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer Cells via C-MYC/miR-9 Signaling

    Investigators characterized the function of eukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) in epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) and metastasis in pancreatic cancer cells to investigate whether eIFs and downstream c-MYC affected EMT and metastasis by joint interference.

    Differentiation of Cancer Stem Cells into Erythroblasts in the Presence of CoCl2

    Researchers investigated the potential of CSC differentiation into blood cells under chemical hypoxic conditions using CoCl2. CSCs and miPS-LLCcm cells were cultured for one to seven days in the presence of CoCl2, and the expression of VEGFR1/2, Runx1, c-kit, CD31, CD34, and TER-119 was assessed.
