    LncRNA INHEG Promotes Glioma Stem Cell Maintenance and Tumorigenicity through Regulating rRNA 2′-O-methylation

    Investigators reported that the lncRNA INHEG was highly expressed in glioma stem cells (GSCs) compared to differentiated glioma cells and promoted GSC self-renewal and tumorigenicity through control of rRNA 2’-O-methylation.

    Stabilizing Vimentin Phosphorylation Inhibits Stem-Like Cell Properties and Metastasis of Hybrid Epithelial/Mesenchymal Carcinomas

    Scientists identified that stabilizing vimentin phosphorylation at serine 56 induces multinucleation, specifically in hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cells with stemness properties but not epithelial or mesenchymal cells.

    mTOR Inhibition Suppresses Salinomycin-Induced Ferroptosis in Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Ironing Out Mitochondrial Dysfunctions

    In a well-established breast cancer stem cells model, investigators identified that pharmacological inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), suppressed Sal-induced ferroptosis.

    Disseminating Cells in Human Oral Tumors Possess an EMT Cancer Stem Cell Marker Profile That Is Predictive of Metastasis in Image-Based Machine Learning

    Researchers investigated whether the combination of three markers, EpCAM, CD24, and Vimentin, could identify disseminating epithelial-mesenchymal transition CSCs in actual human tumors.

    Abstract

    Transcription Factor LHX9 (LIM Homeobox 9) Enhances Pyruvate Kinase PKM2 Activity to Induce Glycolytic Metabolic Reprogramming in Cancer Stem Cells, Promoting Gastric Cancer Progression

    Scientists revealed the critical mediators that regulated glycolytic metabolism reprogramming in gastric cancer and their underlying molecular mechanism.

    Direct Tumor Irradiation Potentiates Adoptive NK Cell Targeting against Parental and Stem-Like Cancer in Human Liver Cancer Models

    The authors found that NK cells in combination with tumor irradiation may provide synergistic therapeutic effects for NK cell recognition and elimination against both parental and stem-like liver cancer through lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1/intercellular adhesion molecule-1.

    Abstract

    YTHDF1 Enhances Stemness and Chemoresistance in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells by Upregulating SIAH2

    Knockdown of YTHDF1 and SIAH2, or overexpression of seven in absentia homology 2 (SIAH2) in vitro and in vivo, was conducted to evaluate the impact of changes in YTHDF1 and SIAH2 expression on triple-negative breast cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, stemness, and Hippo pathway gene expression.
