    TET2-Mediated mRNA Demethylation Regulates Leukemia Stem Cell Homing and Self-Renewal

    Scientists showed that Tet2 deficiency significantly facilitated leukemogenesis in various acute myeloid leukemia models through promoting homing of leukemia stem cells into bone marrow niche to increase their self-renewal/proliferation.

    Multiomics Analyses Reveal DARS1-AS1/YBX1–Controlled Posttranscriptional Circuits Promoting Glioblastoma Tumorigenesis/Radioresistance

    The authors identified a lncRNA DARS1-AS1–controlled posttranscriptional circuitry that promoted the malignant properties of glioblastoma cells/glioma stem cells.

    Oxidative Phosphorylation Fueled by Fatty Acid Oxidation Sensitizes Leukemic Stem Cells to Cold

    Investigators identified cold sensitivity at 4°C, commonly used for sample storage, as a novel vulnerability that selectively killed acute myeloid leukemic stem cells with active fatty acid oxidation-supported mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation while sparing normal hematopoietic stem cells.

    Abstract

    CDK7 and CDK9 Inhibition Interferes with Transcription, Translation and Stemness, and Induces Cytotoxicity in GBM Irrespective of Temozolomide Sensitivity

    Scientists examined the effect of a CDK7 inhibitor, THZ1, and multiple CDK9 inhibitors on glioblastoma cell lines, patient-derived temozolomide-resistant and responsive primary tumor cells and glioma stem cells.

    Abstract

    p53 Isoform Expression Promotes a Stemness Phenotype and Inhibits Doxorubicin Sensitivity in Breast Cancer

    The authors investigated the in vitro and in vivo implications of Δ40p53 expression in breast cancer. We have shown that genes associated with cell differentiation are downregulated while those associated with stem cell regulation are upregulated in invasive ductal carcinomas expressing high levels of Δ40p53.

    The DUBA-SLC7A11-C-Myc Axis Is Critical for Stemness and Ferroptosis

    Researchers demonstrated that undifferentiated cells are more sensitive to ferroptosis than differentiated cells, and cystine transporter SLC7A11 protein is highly up-regulated by deubiquitinase DUBA in differentiated cells.

    Abstract

    Single-Cell Trajectory Analysis Reveals a CD9 Positive State to Contribute to Exit from Stem Cell-Like and Embryonic Diapause States and Transit to Drug-Resistant States

    Parental and JQ1-resistant SUM149 and SUM159 exhibited a stem cell-like and embryonic diapause (SCLED) cell state as well as a transitional cell state between the SCLED state that is present in both treatment naïve and JQ1 treated cells, and a number of JQ1 resistant cell states.

    Proanthocyanidins Inhibited Colorectal Cancer Stem Cell Characteristics through Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling

    CCK-8, colony, and tumorsphere formation assay were used to evaluate cancer cell viability and stemness, respectively. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression. Tumor xenograft experiments were employed to examine the tumorigenicity of colorectal cancer cells in nude mice.
