    KRAS(G12D) Drives Lepidic Adenocarcinoma through Stem-Cell Reprogramming

    Scientists demonstrated that expression of KRAS(G12D) in differentiated alveolar epithelial type I (AT1) cells reprogrammed them slowly and asynchronously back into AT2 stem cells that go on to generate indolent tumors.

    Glucose Transporter 1-Mediated Transcytosis of Glucosamine-Labeled Liposomal Ceramide Targets Hypoxia Niches and Cancer Stem Cells to Enhance Therapeutic Efficacy

    Experimental results indicated that glucosamine-labeled liposomal ceramide could be efficiently transported between cancer cells by GLUT1 transporters and substantially accumulated in the hypoxic area in in vitro CSC spheroids and in vivo tumor xenografts.

    circSLC4A7 Accelerates Stemness and Progression of Gastric Cancer by Interacting with HSP90 to Activate NOTCH1 Signaling Pathway

    Researchers discovered the expression profile and functional roles of circRNAs in gastric CSCs (GCSCs). A spheroid formation assay was conducted to enrich GCSCs. Genome-wide sequencing of circRNAs showed that a novel circRNA, circSLC4A7, was one of the most upregulated circRNAs in GCSCs.

    Deciphering Brain Metastasis Stem Cell Properties from Colorectal Cancer Highlights Specific Stemness Signature and Shared Molecular Features

    Four brain metastasis stem cell lines from patients with colorectal cancer were obtained by mechanical dissociation of patient’s tumors and selection of CSCs by appropriate culture conditions.

    Abstract

    Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells Targeting Cell Surface GRP78 Efficiently Kill Glioblastoma and Cancer Stem Cells

    To target the cell surface glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), CAR-T cells based on its binding peptide were generated. In vitro two glioblastoma cell lines and glioma stem cells were used to confirm the localization of cell surface GRP78 and the cytotoxicity of the CAR-T cells.

    B7-H3 Confers Stemness Characteristics to Gastric Cancer Cells by Promoting Glutathione Metabolism through AKT/pAKT/Nrf2 Pathway

    Gastric cancer stemness influenced by B7-H3 was detected both in vitro and in vivo. The expression of stemness-related markers was examined by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and flow cytometry.

    Propofol Inhibits Colon Cancer Cell Stemness and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition by Regulating SIRT1, Wnt/β-Catenin, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathways

    The authors used propofol to treat LOVO and SW480 cells and Cell Counting Kit-8 to detect proliferation. Self-renewal capacity, cell invasion and migration, flow cytometry analysis, qPCR and Western blotting were performed to detect the suppression of propofol to colon cancer cells and the underlying mechanism.

    KRAS Activation in Gastric Cancer Stem-Like Cells Promotes Tumor Angiogenesis and Metastasis

    Scientists analyzed how KRAS activation in gastric CSCs promoted tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Gastric cancer CSCs were found to secrete pro-angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor A, and inhibition of KRAS markedly reduced secretion of these factors.

    Anisomycin Inhibits the Activity of Human Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells via Regulating Antisense RNA NCPB2-AS2/MEK/ERK/STAT3 Signaling

    CD44+/CD133+ human ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) were isolated from human ovarian cancer tissues. OCSCs were interfered with using anisomycin and specific small-interfering RNA.
