    Lactate Promotes Metastasis of Normoxic Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells through PGC-1α-Mediated Oxidative Phosphorylation
    The abundance of hypoxic and normoxic CSCs was analyzed in primary colorectal cancer tumors. It was found that the proportion of normoxic CSCs was positively associated with tumor stage.

    The Repression of Oncoprotein SET by the Tumor Suppressor p53 Reveals a p53-SET-PP2A Feedback Loop for Cancer Therapy
    Investigators identified the tumor suppressor p53 as a key regulator that transcriptionally repressed the expression of SET in both normal and cancer cells.

    Abstract

    Targeting the mRNA Endonuclease CPSF73 Inhibits Breast Cancer Cell Migration, Invasion and Self-Renewal
    The authors reported that a HECT-like E3 ligase, UBE3D, participated in stabilizing CPFS73 protein by preventing its ubiquitin-mediated degradation by the proteasome.

    PI3Kδ Activity Controls Plasticity and Discriminates between EMT and Stemness Based on Distinct TGFβ Signaling
    Based on 3D organoid culture of hepatocellular carcinoma-derived cell lines and AAV8-based protein overexpression in the mouse liver, investigators showed that activity modulation of isoform δ of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3Kδ) controls differentiation and discriminates between stemness.

    Efficacy of Cancer-Specific Anti-Podoplanin CAR-T Cells and Oncolytic Herpes Virus G47Δ Combination Therapy against Glioblastoma
    LpMab-2 (Lp2)-chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) transduced T cells (Lp2-CAR-T) specifically targeted podoplanin (PDPN)-expressing glioma cells, while sparing the PDPN-expressing normal cells. Lp2-CAR-T also killed patient-derived glioma stem cells, demonstrating its clinical potential against glioblastoma.
