    PD-L1 Interacts with Frizzled 6 to Activate β-Catenin and Form a Positive Feedback Loop to Promote Cancer Stem Cell Expansion

    Scientists discovered that programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) interacted with receptor Frizzled 6 to activate β-catenin signaling and increase β-catenin-targeted gene expression, such as a putative stem cell marker leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5.

    Exosomal circCARM1 from Spheroids Reprograms Cell Metabolism by Regulating PFKFB2 in Breast Cancer

    Researchers investigated breast cancer cell metabolism reprogramming by circular RNAs (circRNAs) from breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) exosomes and found that BCSC exosome-derived circCARM1 played an important role in breast cancer cell glycolysis.

    Autophagy Inhibits Cancer Stemness in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer via miR-181a-Mediated Regulation of ATG5 and/or ATG2B

    The authors identified that autophagy flux was inhibited in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stem cells. miRNA-181a (miR-181a) expression is upregulated both in TNBC CSCs and patient tissues.

    Stem-Like Breast Cancer Cells in the Activated State Resist Genetic Stress via TGFBI-ZEB1

    Investigators characterized a population of stem-like breast cancer cells expressing the integrin αvβ3 as transcriptionally related to activated stem/basal cells in the normal human mammary gland.

    MUC1-C Dictates JUN and BAF-Mediated Chromatin Remodeling at Enhancer Signatures in Cancer Stem Cells

    The authors demonstrated that MUC1-C drives global changes in chromatin architecture in the dedifferentiation of castrate-resistant prostate cancer and triple-negative breast cancer cells.

    Sox9/CXCL5 Axis Facilitates Tumor Cell Growth and Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Investigators observed that the increase of Sox9 significantly promoted hepatocellular carcinoma cell growth and invasion in cell cultures, whereas knockdown of Sox9 showed the opposite effects, suggesting that Sox9 may regulate the proliferation and invasion of hepatoma cells in an autocrine manner.

    FOXP3 Activated-LINC01232 Accelerates the Stemness of Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma by Activating TGF-β Signaling Pathway and Recruiting IGF2BP2 to Stabilize TGFBR1

    Flow cytometry and sphere formation assays indicated that LINC01232 significantly promoted non-small cell lung carcinoma cell stemness.

    Abstract

    Notch Pathway Inhibition Mediated by Arsenic Trioxide Depletes Tumor Initiating Cells in Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Researchers demonstrated that As2O3 had a remarkable inhibitory effect on tumor initiating cells of small cell lung cancer both in vitro and in vivo, and the mechanism might have involved the down-regulation of Notch pathway.

    Long Non-Coding RNA TPT1-AS1 Suppresses APC Transcription in a STAT1-Dependent Manner to Increase the Stemness of Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells

    Stem cells from colorectal cancer HCT116 and CACO2 cells were isolated. TPT1-AS1 was significantly highly expressed in the CSCs compared to non-stem cells.
