    Type I IFNs Promote Cancer Cell Stemness by Triggering the Epigenetic Regulator KDM1B

    The authors showed that type I interferons (IFNs) functioned as molecular hubs of resistance during immunogenic chemotherapy, triggering the epigenetic regulator demethylase 1B (KDM1B) to promote an adaptive, yet reversible, transcriptional rewiring of cancer cells towards stemness, and immune escape.

    Molecular Crosstalk between T Cells and Tumor Uncovers GBM-Specific T Cell Signatures in Blood: Noninvasive GBM Diagnosis Using Immunosensors

    Glioblastoma exhibited a high level of heterogeneity with diverse subtypes of cells within the tumor, enabling immune infiltration and different degrees of interactions with the tumor.

    Midkine Expression by Stem-Like Tumor Cells Drives Persistence to mTOR Inhibition and an Immune-Suppressive Microenvironment

    Investigators performed integrative analysis of single-cell transcriptomic profiling, paired T cell receptor sequencing, and spatial transcriptomic profiling on tuberous sclerosis complex associated tumors with mTORC1 hyperactivity.

    Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Display a Distinct Set of MHC I-Associated Peptides Shared by Human Cancers

    The authors characterized the MHC I-associated peptide (MAP) repertoire of human induced pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) using proteogenomics. Their analyses revealed a set of 46 pluripotency-associated MAPs absent from the transcriptome of normal tissues and adult stem cells but expressed in PSCs and multiple adult cancers.

    Inhibition of Mutant IDH1 Promotes Cycling of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Stem Cells

    Using a multi-allelic mouse model of IDH1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia, investigators demonstrated that the clinical IDH1 inhibitor AG-120 exerted cell-type-dependent effects on leukemic cells, promoting delayed disease regression.

    MicroRNA-Dependent Inhibition of WEE1 Controls Cancer Stem-Like Characteristics and Malignant Behavior in Ovarian Cancer

    Scientists found that WEE1 expression was upregulated in ovarian cancer spheroids because of the decreased expression of miR-424 and miR-503, which directly targeted WEE1.

    FMRP Modulates the Wnt Signaling Pathway in Glioblastoma

    The authors showed, in human glioblastoma biopsies, that increased expression of Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein directly correlated with a worse patient outcome.

    Exosomal miR-155-5p Derived From Glioma Stem-Like Cells Promotes Mesenchymal Transition via Targeting ACOT12

    Researchers reported that exosomes released from glioma stem-like cells contained a significant increasing level of miR-155-5p and could be horizontally transferred to surrounding glioma cells.

    Cancer Stem Cell Plasticity and Its Implications in the Development of New Clinical Approaches for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

    Populations of treatment-resistant CSCs are well characterized in oral squamous cell carcinoma. These populations of CSCs engage the cellular program known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition to enhance metastatic spread and therapeutic resistance.
