    Glioblastoma Stem Cells Reprogram Chromatin In Vivo to Generate Selective Therapeutic Dependencies on DPY30 and Phosphodiesterases

    Scientists identified Dyp-30 histone methyltransferase complex regulatory subunit (DPY30), a regulator of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation, as a driver of glioblastoma growth in vivo but not in vitro.

    O-linked α2,3 Sialylation Defines Stem Cell Populations in Breast Cancer

    Researchers identified a lectin, SLBR-N, which bound to O-linked α2,3 sialic acids, that was able to enrich for CSCs in vitro and in vivo. This O-glycan was expressed on CD44 and promoted its interaction with hyaluronic acid, facilitating CD44 signaling and CSC properties.

    Targeting HIF-1α/NOTCH1 Pathway Eliminates CD44+ Cancer Stem-Like Cell Phenotypes, Malignancy, and Resistance to Therapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Scientists compared the gene expression between CD44+ and CD44− HNSCC cells and assessed the correlation of CD44 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α expression with mouse features and outcomes of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas.

    Abstract

    Induction of Cancer Cell Stemness in Glioma through Glycolysis and the Long Noncoding RNA HULC-Activated FOXM1/AGR2/HIF-1α Axis

    Brain tissues were clinically collected from 50 patients with glioblastoma and 35 patients with acute craniocerebral injury, followed by immunohistochemical detection of the expression patterns of Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1), anterior gradient 2 (AGR2), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α).

    Abstract

    The Efficacy of PI3Kγ and EGFR Inhibitors on the Suppression of the Characteristics of Cancer Stem Cells

    Investigators established a model of CSCs that was originally developed from mouse induced pluripotent stem cells (miPSCs) by proposing miPSCs to the conditioned medium of cancer derived cells, which was a mimic of carcinoma microenvironment.
