    VCAM1 Confers Innate Immune Tolerance on Haematopoietic and Leukaemic Stem Cells

    Scientists showed that VCAM1 was expressed on healthy haematopoietic stem cells and upregulated on leukaemic stem cells, where it served as a quality-control checkpoint for entry into bone marrow by providing ‘don’t-eat-me’ stamping in the context of major histocompatibility complex class-I presentation.

    Targeting ULK1 in Cancer Stem Cells: Insight from Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

    Pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 resulted in stress-induced differentiation of leukemic stem cells (LSCs), rendering them sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, uncovering a promising strategy for selective eradication of LSCs in chronic myeloid leukemia patients.

    Abstract

    Effective Targeting of Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Combined Inhibition of Sam68 and Rad51

    Using breast cancer sphere cells (BCSphCs) as a model, researchers showed that breast cancer stem-like cells express high levels of Myc, which required the presence of the multifunctional DNA/RNA binding protein Sam68 for the DNA-damage repair.

    HOXA5 Is Amplified in Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Promotes Tumor Progression by Transcriptionally Activating PTPRZ1

    Scientists identified the gene amplification and protein overexpression of HOXA5 in glioma stem cells (GSCs) and its function in regulating GSC maintenance and the downstream transcriptional effector.

    NOX4 Regulates TGFβ-Induced Proliferation and Self-Renewal in Glioblastoma Stem Cells

    A glioblastoma tumoral mass was characterized by a small cellular subpopulation, glioblastoma stem cells that has been held responsible for glioblastoma initiation, cell invasion, proliferation, relapse and resistance to chemo and radiotherapy.

    siRNA-Induced CD44 Knockdown Suppresses the Proliferation and Invasion of Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells through Inhibiting Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition

    To examine the contribution of siRNA-induced knockdown of CD44 to the biological features of colorectal CSCs, colorectal CSCs HCT116-CSCs were generated, and CD44 was knocked down in HCT116-CSCs using siRNA.

    Cancer Stem Cell Markers CD44v9+/CD133– Are Associated with Low Apoptosis in Both Sporadic and Ulcerative Colitis-Associated Colorectal Cancers

    To elucidate tumor cell behavior associated with CSC marker expression, the expression of CD133, CD44v9, and ALDH1A1, which are considered markers of CSCs, was examined in sporadic and ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal tumors.
