    Targeting EMSY-Mediated Methionine Metabolism Is a Potential Therapeutic Strategy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Researchers discovered that EMSY, inducing a BRCAness phenotype, was preferentially expressed in breast CSCs, promoted ALDH+ cells enrichment, and was positively correlated with poor relapse-free survival.

    Malignant A-to-I RNA Editing by ADAR1 Drives T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Relapse via Attenuating dsRNA Sensing

    Researchers showed that the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 was a crucial stemness factor that promotes leukemia-initiating cell self-renewal by attenuating aberrant double-stranded RNA sensing.

    USP40 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Stemness by Deubiquitinating and Stabilizing Claudin1

    The expression of USP40 in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and HCC cell lines was investigated using RT-qPCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemistry.

    Long Noncoding RNA DLEU2 and ROR1 Pathway Induces Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Cancer Stem Cells in Breast Cancer

    Investigators found that lncRNA deleted in lymphocytic leukemia-2 (lncRNA DLEU2) and ROR1 were specifically upregulated in tumor tissues compared to their normal counterparts in TCGA, PubMed GEO datasets, and samples from archived breast cancer tumor tissues.

    Lucanthone, a Potential PPT1 inhibitor, Perturbs Stemness, Reduces Tumor Microtube Formation and Slows the Growth of Temozolomide-Resistant Gliomas In Vivo

    The authors reported that the anti-schistosome agent lucanthone impeded tumor growth in a preclinical model of temozolomide-resistant glioblastoma, and reduced the numbers of stem-like glioma cells.

    Abstract

    PRDX2 Regulates Stemness Contributing to Cisplatin Resistance and Metastasis in Bladder Cancer

    Cisplatin-resistant cell lines were established using the concentration gradient overlay method, and differentially expressed genes in resistant cells were screened through RNA sequencing.

    Molecular Signature of Stem-Like Glioma Cells (SLGCs) from Human Glioblastoma and Gliosarcoma

    Commercially available protein arrays were used to determine the cell surface signature of eight stem-like glioma cells (SLGC) lines from glioblastoma multiformes (GBM), one SLGC line obtained from a xenotransplanted GBM-derived SLGC line, and three SLGC lines from gliosarcomas.
