    PD-1 Signaling Defines and Protects Leukemic Stem Cells from T Cell Receptor-Induced Cell Death in T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Using lineage tracing, limiting dilution assays, and in vivo live imaging approaches, scientists identified a rare inhibitory receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)-expressing cells that resided at the apex of leukemia hierarchy for initiation and relapse in T cell acute lymphoblastic laukemia.

    KRT13 Is Upregulated in Pancreatic Cancer Stem-Like Cells and Associated with Radioresistance

    To investigate the CSC properties of pancreatic cancer cells, the authors used a pancreatic CSC model, degron (++) cells, which have low proteasome activity. Degron (++) cells displayed radioresistance in comparison with control cells.

    Abstract

    Targeting Lin28 Axis Enhances Glypican-3-CAR T Cell Efficacy Against Hepatic Tumor Initiating Cell Population

    Results using hepatocellular carcinoma patient samples showed a positive correlation between indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1, a kynurenine producing enzyme with effects on tumor immune escape, and Lin28B.

    RAC1B Function Is Essential for Breast Cancer Stem Cell Maintenance and Chemoresistance of Breast Tumor Cells

    Scientists demonstrated that RAC1B, the only known alternatively spliced variant of the small GTPase RAC1, was expressed in a subset of breast CSCs (BCSCs) in vivo and its function was required for the maintenance of BCSCs and their chemoresistance to doxorubicin.

    Nanobodies Targeting ABCC3 for Immunotargeted Applications in Glioblastoma

    High expression of ATP Binding Cassette subfamily C member 3 (ABCC3) was restricted to glioblastoma, with negligible levels in healthy brain tissue, and further correlated with tumor grade and stemness markers.

    The Stromal Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes, Cancer Stemness, Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition, and B7-H4 Expression in Ovarian Serous Carcinoma

    The degree of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes was evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. Immunohistochemical analysis of B7-H4, CSC-related biomarkers, and epithelial-mesenchymal-transition-related biomarkers was performed using tissue microarray.

    Biological Effects of Cancer Stem Cells Irradiated by Charged Particle: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies

    CSCs have obvious radio-resistance compared with non-CSCs, and charged particle irradiation or in combination with drugs could overcome this resistance, specifically manifested in inhibiting CSCs’ proliferation, invasion, migration, and causing more DNA double-stranded breaks (DSB) of CSCs.
