    MEOX2-Mediated Regulation of Cathepsin S Promotes Cell Proliferation and Motility in Glioma

    Investigators reported that MEOX2 functioned as a tumor-initiating element in glioma. Bioinformatic analysis of public databases and investigation of MEOX2 expression in patients with glioma demonstrated that MEOX2 was abundant at both mRNA and protein levels in glioma.

    Abstract

    Liver Tumor-Initiating Cells Initiate the Formation of a Stiff Cancer Stem Cell Microenvironment Niche by Secreting LOX

    Investigators reported that the voltage-gated calcium channel α2δ1 subunit-positive tumor-initiating cells of hepatocellular carcinoma specifically secreted LOX, which led to the crosslinking of collagen, forming a stiff extracellular matrix.

    Abstract

    Overexpression of FOXD2-AS1 Enhances Proliferation and Impairs Differentiation of Glioma Stem Cells by Activating the NOTCH Pathway via TAF-1

    Colony formation assay, sphere formation assay, and flow cytometry were used to evaluate glioma stem cell stemness.

    The Gut Microbial Metabolite Formate Exacerbates Colorectal Cancer Progression

    Researchers showed that formate, a metabolite produced by colorectal cancer (CRC)-associated bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum, promoted CRC development and that microbiome-derived formate drove CRC tumor invasion by triggering AhR signalling, while increasing cancer stemness.
