    Kunitz-Type Protease Inhibitor TFPI2 Remodels Stemness and Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment in Glioblastoma

    Researchers identified Kunitz-type protease inhibitor TFPI2 as a critical factor connecting glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells and microglia and their associated GBM hallmarks of stemness and immunosuppression.

    Acquired miR-142 Deficit in Leukemic Stem Cells Suffices to Drive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia into Blast Crisis

    Investigators showed lower levels of miR-142 in CD34+CD38− blasts from blast crisis (BC) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients than in those from chronic phase CML patients, suggesting that miR-142 deficit was implicated in BC evolution.

    JARID2 Coordinates with the NuRD Complex to Facilitate Breast Tumorigenesis through Response to Adipocyte-Derived Leptin

    Immunohistochemistry, The Cancer Genome Atlas, Gene Expression Omnibus, and other databases were used to analyze the expression of Jumonji and the AT-rich interaction domain-containing 2 (JARID2) in breast cancer cells.

    IL-33–ST2 Signaling Promotes Stemness in Subtypes of Myeloid Leukemia Cells through the Wnt and Notch Pathways

    In cell lines and patient samples, scientists found that interleukin-33 (IL-33) signaling promoted stemness only in leukemia cells in a subtype-specific manner.

    Histone H3 K27M-Mediated Regulation of Cancer Cell Stemness and Differentiation in Diffuse Midline Glioma

    Researchers showed that the oncohistone regulated histone acetylation through ALDH1A3 in a Wnt-dependent manner and that loss of H3K27M expression resulted in sensitization of diffuse midline gliomas to radiotherapy.

    Upregulation of SOX9 Promotes the Self-Renewal and Tumorigenicity of Cervical Cancer through Activating the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway

    The authors studied the relationship between Sry-box9 (SOX9) and prognosis of cervical cancer through public database, and SOX9 was related to poor prognosis of cervical cancer.

    BCL7B, a SWI/SNF Complex Subunit, Orchestrates Cancer Immunity and Stemness

    To characterize the function of B-cell lymphoma 7 protein family member B (BCL7B), heterozygous BCL7B-deficient stomach cancer cell lines were generated with the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system.

    The ALKBH5/SOX4 Axis Promotes Liver Cancer Stem Cell Properties via Activating the SHH Signaling Pathway

    Researchers found that human AlkB homolog H5 (ALKBH5) expression was enriched in liver cancer stem cells, which could foster proliferation, invasion, and migration of the hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

    Podoplanin-Positive Cells Located in the Basal Layer of Bowen Disease Include Tumor Cells with Cancer Stem Cell Properties

    Scientists immunohistochemically examined podoplanin expression in 87 cases of Bowen disease. Positive expression was detected in 64.4% of Bowen disease specimens, and the positive cells were exclusively located in the basal layer and corresponded to palisaded basal cells.

    Abstract

    Targeting EZH2 Regulates the Biological Characteristics of Glioma Stem Cells via the Notch1 Pathway

    Investigators found that the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) was highly expressed in glioma and that its expression was correlated with the prognosis of glioblastoma multiforme in two databases: The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas.
