    CDK7-YAP-LDHD Axis Promotes D-Lactate Elimination and Ferroptosis Defense to Support Cancer Stem Cell-Like Properties

    Researchers discovered that cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) phosphorylated nuclear Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP) at S127 and S397 sites and enhanced its transcription function, which promoted D-lactate dehydrogenase (LDHD) protein expression.

    Ezh2 Promotes Mammary Tumor Initiation through Epigenetic Regulation of the Wnt and mTORC1 Signaling Pathways

    To gain a deeper understanding of the role of Enhancer of Zeste homology 2 (Ezh2) in the early stages of mammary tumor progression, investigators employed an inducible mammary organoid system bearing conditional Ezh2 alleles that faithfully recapitulated key events of luminal B breast cancer initiation.

    Abstract

    m6A-Modified circABCC4 Promotes Stemness and Metastasis of Prostate Cancer by Recruiting IGF2BP2 to Increase Stability of CCAR1

    Investigators found that circABCC4 was highly expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and cells, and elevated circABCC4 level indicated a poor overall survival of PCa patients.

    Abstract

    Promoter Hypermethylation of Neural-Related Genes Is Compatible with Stemness in Solid Cancers

    To evaluate the presence of a neural-related DNA hypermethylation fingerprint in colon cancer and its relevance to carcinogenesis in general, the authors considered 16 solid cancer types available in The Cancer Genome Atlas.
