    TOP STORY

    A Dynamic rRNA Ribomethylome Drives Stemness in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
    Researchers provided biochemical, genetic, and functional evidence that dynamics in ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 2′-O-methylation regulated leukemia stem cell activity in vivo.
    [Cancer Discovery]
    Abstract
    Survey results on the needs and challenges in the human pluripotent stem cell field

    Targeting Breast and Pancreatic Cancer Metastasis Using a Dual-Cadherin Antibody
    Scientists showed that an antibody against cadherin proteins effectively suppressed blood-borne metastasis in mouse isogenic and xenograft models of triple-negative breast and pancreatic cancers.

    The NQO1/p53/SREBP1 Axis Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression and Metastasis by Regulating Snail Stability
    Bioinformatics analysis and immunohistochemical results showed that NQO1 was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues. Overexpression of NQO1 promoted cell proliferation, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition process, and angiogenesis of HCC cells.
    [Oncogene]
    Abstract

    Integrin Regulation by Tissue Factor Promotes Cancer Stemness and Metastatic Dissemination in Breast Cancer
    The authors showed an association between tissue factor expression and metastasis as well as cancer stemness in 574 breast cancer patients.
    [Oncogene]
    Abstract

    CircLRFN5 Inhibits the Progression of Glioblastoma via PRRX2/GCH1 Mediated Ferroptosis
    CircLRFN5 overexpression inhibited the cell viabilities, proliferation, neurosphere formation, stemness, and tumorigenesis of glioma stem cells via inducing ferroptosis.

    Clinical Implications of Circulating Tumor DNA in Predicting the Outcome of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Patients Receiving First-Line Therapy
    Using a lymphoma-specific sequencing panel, investigators assessed the prognostic and predictive utilities of circulating tumor DNA measurements before, during, and after first-line therapy.

    FBXO31 Sentisizes CSC-Like Cells to Cisplatin by Promoting Ferroptosis and Facilitating Proteasomal Degradation of GPX4 in CCA
    Functional studies showed FBXO31 inhibited cell growth, migration, invasion, CSC properties, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in vitro and impeded tumor growth in vivo.
    [Liver International]
    Abstract

    Long Non-Coding RNA HOTAIR Regulates the Stemness of Breast Cancer Cells via Activation of the NF-κB Signaling Pathway
    Scientists found that the long noncoding RNA HOTAIR was highly expressed in breast CSCs. HOTAIR was required for breast CSC self-renewal and tumor propagation.

    Noxa and Mcl-1 Expression Influence the Sensitivity to BH3-Mimetics That Target Bcl-xL in Patient-Derived Glioma Stem Cells
    Researchers determined that the most abundantly expressed anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, were the most relevant in regulating patient-derived glioma stem cell survival.

    RELA Is Required for CD271 Expression and Stem-Like Characteristics in Hypopharyngeal Cancer
    Investigators screened transcription factors and found that RELA, a subunit of nuclear factor kappaB, was critical for CD271 transcription in cancer cells.

    Practical Considerations for the Use of Circulating Tumor DNA in the Treatment of Patients with Cancer
    Scientists present a practical overview for the selection of the most appropriate liquid biopsy assay, specifically focusing on circulating tumor DNA and how it may affect patient treatment and case management across multiple tumor types.
    [JAMA Oncology]
    Abstract

    The Role of Exosomes in the Molecular Mechanisms of Metastasis: Focusing on EMT and Cancer Stem Cells
    The authors discuss the effect of exosomes on signaling pathways associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and CSCs, as well as possible therapeutic strategies of exosomes in cancer metastasis.
