    LASS2 Enhances Chemosensitivity to Cisplatin by Inhibiting PP2A-Mediated β-Catenin Dephosphorylation in a Subset of Stem-Like Bladder Cancer Cells

    Flow cytometry was used to sort and analyze bladder cancer stem cells. Tumor sphere formation, soft agar colony formation assay, EdU assay, apoptosis analysis, cell viability, and cisplatin sensitivity assay were used to investigate the functional roles of LASS2.

    Novel Cellular Systems Unveil Mucosal Melanoma Initiating Cells and a Role for PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway in Mucosal Melanoma Fitness

    Five novel cell lines were obtained from patient-derived biopsies of mucosal melanomas (MM) arising in the sino-nasal mucosa and designated as SN-MM1-5. The morphology, ultrastructure and melanocytic identity of SN-MM cell lines were validated by transmission electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry.

    GCF2 Mediates Nicotine-Induced Cancer Stemness and Progression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    The authors reported that nicotine enhanced hepatocellular carcinoma cancer stemness and malignant progression by upregulating the expression of GC-rich binding factor 2 (GCF2) and subsequently activating the Wnt/ꞵ-catenin/SOX2 signaling pathway.

    LncRNA FOXD1-AS1 Regulates Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cell Properties and 5-FU Resistance by Regulating the miR-570-3p/SPP1 Axis as a ceRNA

    Investigators identified an upregulation of lncRNA FOXD1-AS1 in CSCs. The enforced expression of lncRNA FOXD1-AS1 promotes tumorigenesis and self-renewal in pancreatic cancer CSCs.

    INDUSTRY AND POLICY NEWS

    European Commission Approves Roche’s Tecentriq SC, the EU’s First PD-(L)1 Cancer Immunotherapy Subcutaneous Injection for Multiple Cancer Types

    Until now, Tecentriq has been given directly into patients’ veins by IV infusion which takes approximately 30-60 minutes. The new subcutaneous injection will cut treatment time to approximately seven minutes, with most injections taking between four and eight minutes.
