    Pancreatic Cancer Cells Upregulate LPAR4 in Response to Isolation Stress To Promote an ECM-Enriched Niche and Support Tumour Initiation
    Scientists reported that lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4 (LPAR4) became transiently upregulated on pancreatic cancer cells exposed to environmental stress or chemotherapy, promoting stress tolerance, drug resistance, self-renewal, and tumor initiation.

    Niche Stiffness Sustains Cancer Stemness via TAZ and NANOG Phase Separation
    Investigators revealed that increased matrix stiffness was associated with poor responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, worse prognosis, and CSC enrichment in patients with breast cancer.

    ASPM Activates Hedgehog and Wnt Signaling To Promote Small Cell Lung Cancer Stemness and Progression
    Researchers identified isoform 1 of the neurogenesis-associated protein ASPM as a prominently upregulated stemness-associated gene during the self-renewal of small cell lung cancer cells.

    Abstract

    The RNA m6A Reader YTHDF1 Is Required for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Progression
    The authors reported the overexpression of YTHDF1, an m6A reader protein, in human acute myeloid leukemia samples at the protein level with enrichment in leukemia stem cells.

    Abstract

    The U2AF65/circNCAPG/RREB1 Feedback Loop Promotes Malignant Phenotypes of Glioma Stem Cells through Activating the TGF-β Pathway
    Researchers identified a novel circRNA named circNCAPG that was overexpressed and indicated poor prognosis in glioma patients. Upregulating circNCAPG promoted the malignant progression of glioma stem cells.

    Tyrosine Kinase SRC-Induced YAP1-KLF5 Module Regulates Cancer Stemness and Metastasis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
    Scientists identified a YAP1 tyrosine phosphorylation-dependent YAP1-Kruppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) oncogenic module, as the key downstream mediator of SRC kinase regulating cancer stemness and metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer.

    Short Peptide Domains of the Wnt Inhibitor sFRP4 Target Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells by Neutralizing the Wnt β-Catenin Pathway, Disrupting the Interaction Between β-Catenin and CD24 and Suppressing Autophagy
    The authors explored the effectiveness of short micropeptides SC-301 and SC-401 on CSC properties, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, apoptosis, and autophagy in ovarian CSCs enriched from PA-1 and SKOV-3 cell lines.

    Abstract

    SERPINA12 Promotes the Tumorigenic Capacity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Stem Cells through Hyperactivation of AKT/ β-Catenin Signaling
    Transcriptome profiling of epithelial-specific ‘normal’ CD133+ cells isolated from fetal and regenerating liver against ‘HCC’ CD133+ cells isolated from proto-oncogene driven and inflammation-associated HCC revealed preferential overexpression of SERPINA12 in HCC but not fetal and regenerating liver CD133+ cells.
