    p53 Inhibits BMI-1-Driven Self-Renewal and Defines Salivary Gland Cancer Stemness

    Using gene silencing and therapeutic activation of p53, researchers analyzed the cell cycle profiles and apoptosis levels of CSCs in mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell lines via flow cytometry and looked at the effects on survival/self-renewal of the CSCs through sphere assays.

    Miat and Interacting Protein Metadherin Maintain a Stem-Like Niche to Promote Medulloblastoma Tumorigenesis and Treatment Resistance

    Investigators identified Miat as an lncRNA enriched in the sonic hedgehog group of medulloblastoma that was required for maintenance of a treatment-resistant stem-like phenotype in the disease.

    Abstract

    3D Matrix Promotes Cell Dedifferentiation into Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells via Integrin/Cytoskeleton/Glycolysis Signaling

    The 3D extracellular matrix could mediate cytoskeletal F-actin bundling through biomechanical force associated receptors integrin β1, contributing to the release of E3 ligase Tripartite motif protein 11 from cytoskeleton and degradation of the glycolytic rate-limiting enzyme phosphofructokinase.

    Leukocyte Cell-Derived Chemotaxin 2 Regulates Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Cancer Stemness in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Scientists showed that exogenous leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 treatment inhibited CSC functions such as tumor sphere formation and drug efflux.

    PDE4 Inhibitor Eliminates Breast Cancer Stem Cells via Noncanonical Activation of mTOR

    The effects of rolipram, a PDE4 inhibitor, were evaluated on PI3K regulators and signaling. The efficacy of rolipram was compared with paclitaxel, an anticancer drug that was ineffective in obliterating breast CSCs.

    Abstract

    Cancer Associated Fibroblasts Secreted Exosomal miR-1290 Contributes to Prostate Cancer Cell Growth and Metastasis via Targeting GSK3β

    Investigators discovered that cancer-associated fibroblasts-exosomes remarkably enhanced prostate cancer cell migration, invasion, stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and metastasis.

    RNF126 Contributes to Stem Cell-Like Properties and Metastasis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma through Ubiquitination and Degradation of LKB1

    By analyzing a database and verifying with their clinical specimens, scientists found that RNF126 was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, which was associated with shorter overall survival and higher recurrence rate.

    GANT61 Exerts Anticancer Cell and Anticancer Stem Cell Capacity in Colorectal Cancer by Blocking the Wnt/β-Catenin and Notch Signaling Pathways

    The authors assessed the anti-cancer cell and anti-CSC effects of GANT61, and its regulatory influence on the Wnt/β‑catenin and Notch signaling pathways in colorectal cancer.

    Abstract

    The Role of LINC01419 in Regulating the Cell Stemness in Lung Adenocarcinoma through Recruiting EZH2 and Regulating FBP1 Expression

    In lung adenocarcinoma cells, proliferation and stem cell sphere-formation that were attenuated by LINC01419 knockdown were discovered to be facilitated by LINC01419 overexpression.

    Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Liver Cancer: From Mechanisms to Therapy

    Complex crosstalk occurs between tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and liver cancer cells. TAMs play indispensable roles in tumor progression, angiogenesis, and autophagy due to their heterogeneity and robust plasticity.
