    PMN-MDSCs Modulated by CCL20 from Cancer Cells Promoted Breast Cancer Cell Stemness through CXCL2-CXCR2 Pathway

    Investigators observed that polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) were remarkably enriched in the tumor microenvironment of CCL20-overexpressing cancer cell orthotopic allograft tumors.

    mcPgk1-Dependent Mitochondrial Import of PGK1 Promotes Metabolic Reprogramming and Self-Renewal of Liver TICs

    Researchers identified a mitochondria-encoded circular RNA termed mcPGK1, mitochondrial circRNA for translocating phosphoglycerate kinase 1, which was highly expressed in liver tumor-initiating cells.

    Photothermal Attenuation of Cancer Cell Stemness, Chemoresistance, and Migration Using CD44-Targeted MoS2 Nanosheets

    Investigators introduced a nanomaterial-based approach to photothermally induce the differentiation of CSCs, termed “photothermal differentiation”, leading to the attenuation of cancer cell stemness, chemoresistance, and metastasis.

    An Iron Oxyhydroxide-Based Nanosystem Sensitizes Ferroptosis by a “Three-Pronged” Strategy in Breast Cancer Stem Cells

    Scientists designed a hyaluronic acid-coated siProminin2-loaded FeOOH nano-drug to accelerate ferroptosis of breast CSCs by simultaneously increasing iron ion content, inhibiting iron efflux, and scavenging glutathione.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Plexin-B3 Expression Stimulates MET Signaling, Breast Cancer Stem Cell Specification, and Lung Metastasis

    Researchers reported that Plexin B3 (PLXNB3) expression was increased in response to hypoxia and that PLXNB3 was a direct target gene of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 in human breast cancer cells.

    Abstract

    SCF-FBXL8 Contributes to Liver Metastasis and Stem-Cell-Like Features in Colorectal Cancer Cells by Mediating Ubiquitination and Degradation of TP53

    The up-regulation of FBXL8 promoted the proliferation, invasion, and migration of colorectal cancer tumor cells and maintained the stem-cell characteristics of colorectal tumor cells.

    Exploiting the Receptor-Binding Domains of RSPO1 to Target LGR5-Expressing Stem Cells in Ovarian Cancer

    In order to target stem cells in ovarian cancer, scientists used the sortase reaction to site-specifically conjugate the potent cytotoxin monomethyl auristatin E and their co-receptors ZNRF3 and RNF43 via a protease-cleavable linker.
