    Inhibition of VEGF Binding to Neuropilin-2 Enhances Chemosensitivity and Inhibits Metastasis in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Using triple negative breast cancer as a model, researchers demonstrated that aNRP2-10 could be used to isolate CSCs from heterogeneous tumor populations and inhibit CSC function and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

    YAP/BRD4-Controlled ROR1 Promotes Tumor-Initiating Cells and Hyperproliferation in Pancreatic Cancer

    Researchers
    showed that a cellular subpopulation with partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like signature marked by high expression of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) was the origin of heterogeneous tumor cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

    Chi3l1 Is a Modulator of Glioma Stem Cell States and a Therapeutic Target in Glioblastoma

    Investigators showed that chitinase 3-like 1 (Chi3l1) altered the state of glioma stem cells (GSCs) to support tumor growth. Exposure of patient-derived GSCs to Chi3l1 reduced the frequency of CD133+SOX2+ cells and increased the CD44+Chi3l1+ cells.

    Abstract

    Collagen I-DDR1 Signaling Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Stemness via Hippo Signaling Repression

    The authors found that in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma tissues, collagen I was upregulated, which was consistent with the expression of its receptor DDR1. Collagen I-induced DDR1 activation enhanced HCC cell stemness in vitro and in vivo.

    Abstract

    MSI2 Promotes Translation of Multiple IRES-Containing Oncogenes and Virus to Induce Self-Renewal of Tumor Initiating Stem-Like Cells

    Scientists tested if Musashi 2 (MSI2) promoted MYC and viral mRNA translation to induce self-renewal via an internal ribosome entry sequence.

    Thioredoxin Facilitates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Stemness and Metastasis by Increasing BACH1 Stability to Activate the AKT/mTOR Pathway

    Functional studies showed that thioredoxin promoted hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stemness properties and facilitated HCC metastasis both in vitro and in vivo.

    Abstract

    Dihydroartemisinin Inhibited Stem Cell-Like Properties and Enhanced Oxaliplatin Sensitivity of Colorectal Cancer via AKT/mTOR Signaling

    Researchers found that dihydroartemisinin (DHA) inhibited cell viability in HCT116 and SW620 cells. Moreover, DHA decreased cell clonogenicity, and improved oxaliplatin sensitivity.

    Abstract

    MMP9 and TYROBP Affect the Survival of Circulating Tumor Cells in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma by Adapting to Tumor Immune Microenvironment

    Scientists searched for genes differentially expressed in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by analyzing four CTCs and primary tumor gene expression datasets in the GEO database.

    KIF15 Knockdown Inhibits the Development of Endometrial Cancer by Suppressing Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Stemness through Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling

    Investigators detected the expression level of kinesin family member 15 (KIF15) in a microarray of endometrial cancer tissues by immunohistochemical staining and analyzed the correlation between the expression level of KIF15 and the pathological characteristics of patients.
