    TOP STORY

    Sox2 Induces Glioblastoma Cell Stemness and Tumor Propagation by Repressing TET2 and Deregulating 5hmC and 5mC DNA Modifications
    Researchers showed that ten–eleven translocation (TET) 2 loss associated with glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells and correlated with poor survival of GBM patients.

    ADAR1-Mediated RNA Editing Links Ganglioside Catabolism to Glioblastoma Stem Cell Maintenance
    The authors interrogated the role of adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing mediated by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR) 1 in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and found that both ADAR1 and global RNA editomes were elevated in GSCs compared to normal neural stem cells.

    DOT1L Is a Novel Cancer Stem Cell Target for Triple Negative Breast Cancer
    Scientists tested if inhibition of DOT1L, an epigenetic regulator of normal tissue stem/progenitor populations, would target triple negative breast cancers stem cells.

    Identification of Vascular Cues Contributing to Cancer Cell Stemness and Function
    Researchers dissected vascular cues influencing glioblastoma stem cell (GSC) gene expression and function to perfusion-based vascular cues, as well as to those requiring direct GSC-endothelial cell contacts.
    [Angiogenesis]
    Abstract

    Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy Controls Proteomic and Transcriptomic Pathways to Maintain Glioma Stem Cell Activity
    Investigators showed that LAMP2A expression was enriched in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSC), and its depletion diminished GSC-mediated tumorigenic activities.

    Chloride Intracellular Channel 1 Activity Is Not Required for Glioblastoma Development but Its Inhibition Dictates Glioma Stem Cell Responsivity to Novel Biguanide Derivatives
    Scientists synthesized a small library of novel biguanide-based compounds that were tested as antiproliferative agents for glioblastoma stem cells derived from human glioblastomas, in vitro using 2D and 3D cultures and in vivo in the zebrafish model.

    Somatic Mutation Analyses of Stem-Like Cells in Gingivobuccal Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Reveals DNA Damage Response Genes
    To understand the role of CSCs in the disease scientists performed transcriptomics analysis on RNA-seq data from gingivobuccal oral squamous cell carcinoma primary tumors.

    TGF-β1 Induced Deficiency of linc00261 Promotes Epithelial–Mesenchymal-Transition and Stemness of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Modulating SMAD3
    Researchers showed that linc00261 was down-regulated in TGF-β1 stimulated cells, and forced expression of linc00261 attenuated epithelial–mesenchymal transition and stem-like traits in hepatocellular carcinoma.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Kaempferol and Apigenin Suppresses the Stemness Properties of TNBC Cells by Modulating Sirtuins
    Researchers observed kaempferol and apigenin inhibited cellular proliferation by DNA damage and S-phase cell cycle arrest in TNBC Cells.

    REVIEWS

    Mechanisms Regulating PD-L1 Expression in Cancers and Associated Opportunities for Novel Small-Molecule Therapeutics
    The authors describe the roles of the diverse post-translational modifications of PD-L1, including phosphorylation, palmitoylation, glycosylation, acetylation and ubiquitination.
    [Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology]
    Abstract

    Emerging New Therapeutic Antibody Derivatives for Cancer Treatment
    Scientists discuss the rationale and mechanism of action of various antibody formats, including antibody–drug conjugates, antibody–oligonucleotide conjugates, bispecific/multispecific antibodies, immunocytokines, antibody fragments, and scaffold proteins.
