    Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC21 Regulates Oxidative Phosphorylation to Induce Differentiation Block and Stemness in AML

    Scientists demonstrated for the first time that ZDHHC21 palmitoyltransferase served as a key regulator of oxidative phosphorylation hyperactivity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.

    Metabolic Adaptation to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition in Leukemia Stem Cells

    Researchers performed a comprehensive evaluation of metabolic adaptation to tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment and its role in chronic myelogenous leukemia hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell persistence.

    Abstract

    A Self-Propagating c-Met–SOX2 Axis Drives Cancer-Derived IgG Signaling That Promotes Lung Cancer Cell Stemness

    Investigators conducted genome-wide CRISPR activation screening and identified OCT4 and SOX2 as the key factors that promoted sialylated cancer IgG expression.

    Terminally Exhausted CD8+ T Cells Resistant to PD-1 Blockade Promote Generation and Maintenance of Aggressive Cancer Stem Cells

    Scientists reported that terminally exhausted (TTEX) cells actively participated in tumor progression by modulating CSCs. TTEX cells strongly correlated with elevated CSC frequency in poorly immune-infiltrated advanced human breast and ovarian carcinomas.

    Abstract

    MSC-NPRA Loop Drives Fatty Acid Oxidation to Promote Stemness and Chemoresistance of Gastric Cancer

    The chemoresistance and stemness of gastric cancer cells were observed by colony formation, CCK-8, sphere formation, and flow cytometry assays. Cell lines and animal models were utilized to investigate related functions.

    Abstract

    A Novel Stemness Classification in Acute Myeloid Leukemia by the Stemness Index and the Identification of Cancer Stem Cell-Related Biomarkers

    The authors characterized stem cell-related gene expression and identified stemness biomarker genes in acute myeloid leukemia. They calculated the stemness index based on transcription data using the one-class logistic regression algorithm for patients in the training set.

    Abstract

    Brg1 Controls Stemness and Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer through Regulating Hypoxia Pathway

    Scientists investigated the importance of Brg1 for established pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by using a mouse model with a dual recombinase system.

    Abstract

    Novel and Efficient Method for Culturing Patient-Derived Gastric Cancer Stem Cells

    To propagate gastric cancer cells as highly proliferative stem-cell spheroids in vitro, researchers initially used a similar method to that for colorectal cancer stem cells, which resulted in a low success rate.

    Abstract

    Targeting PCSK9 Reduces Cancer Cell Stemness and Enhances Antitumor Immunity in Head and Neck Cancer

    Investigators found that the expression of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) was upregulated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tissues, and higher PCSK9 expression indicated poorer prognosis in HNSCC patients.

    Hairy Gene Homolog Increases Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cell Stemness by Upregulating Bmi-1

    Scientists found that B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (Bmi-1) mRNA levels were elevated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines.

    Abstract

    Erianin Suppressed Lung Cancer Stemness and Chemotherapeutic Sensitivity via Triggering Ferroptosis

    To investigate the effects of Erianin on lung cancer stemness, researchers screened various concentrations of Erianin to ensure that it did not affect lung cancer cell viability.
