    Superenhancer-Activation of KLHDC8A Drives Glioma Ciliation and Hedgehog Signaling

    Researchers interrogated super-enhancer landscapes of primary glioblastoma specimens and patient-derived glioma stem cells, revealing a kelch domain-containing gene (KLHDC8A) with a previously unknown function as an epigenetically-driven oncogene.

    Mitophagy Bridges DNA Sensing with Metabolic Adaption to Expand Lung Cancer Stem-Like Cells

    The authors identified hypermitophagy as a feature of human lung CSCs, promoting metabolic adaption via the Notch1-AMPK axis to drive CSC expansion.

    The Long Noncoding RNA TINCR Promotes Self-Renewal of Human Liver Cancer Stem Cells through Autophagy Activation

    TINCR was found to be highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and liver CSCs (LCSCs). In vitro and in vivo assays for the first time showed that TINCR was required for LCSC self-renewal and tumorigenesis.

    Cell-Cell Contact-Driven EphB1 Cis- and Trans- Signalings Regulate Cancer Stem Cells Enrichment after Chemotherapy

    Investigators found that during the process of dormancy and reactivation induced by cisplatin, non-small cell lung cancer cells underwent sequential epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition with enrichment of CSCs.

    Identification of a Novel Potent CYP4Z1 Inhibitor Attenuating the Stemness of Breast Cancer Cells Through Lead Optimization

    In order to develop potent and selective CYP4Z1 inhibitors, a series of novel N-hydroxyphenylformamidines were rationally designed and synthesized from a pan-CYP inhibitor HET0016.

    Ligand-Independent EphA2 Contributes to Chemoresistance in Small-Cell Lung Cancer by Enhancing PRMT1-Mediated SOX2 Methylation

    Investigators tested whether ligand-independent activation of EphA2 modulated chemoresistance by enhancing stemness in small-cell lung cancer.

    Abstract

    PTEN Overexpression and Nuclear β-Catenin Stabilization Promote Morular Differentiation through Induction of Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Cancer Stem Cell-Like Properties in Endometrial Carcinoma

    Scientists found that PTEN overexpression and nuclear β-catenin stabilization promoted the establishment and maintenance of morular phenotype associated with epithelial–mesenchymal transition/CSC-like features in endometrial carcinoma cells.
