    Single-Cell Transcriptomic Analysis Deciphers Heterogenous Cancer Stem-Like Cells in Colorectal Cancer and Their Organ-Specific Metastasis

    Investigators performed single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic analysis in primary colorectal cancer and metastases in the liver or ovary. They also conducted immunofluorescence staining and functional experiments to examine the mechanism.

    Abstract

    Targeting PRMT9-Mediated Arginine Methylation Suppresses Cancer Stem Cell Maintenance and Elicits cGAS-Mediated Anticancer Immunity

    The authors showed that targeting protein arginine N-methyltransferase 9 (PRMT9), whose activities were elevated in blasts and leukemia stem cells from patients with acute myeloid leukemia, eliminated disease via cancer-intrinsic mechanisms and cancer-extrinsic type I interferon-associated immunity.

    CREB5 Promotes the Proliferation and Self-Renewal Ability of Glioma Stem Cells

    Both public dataset analysis and direct differentiation experiments on glioma stem cells demonstrated that cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB5) was more highly expressed in undifferentiated GSCs than in differentiated GSCs.

    Abstract

    USP14 Promotes the Cancer Stem-Like Cell Properties of OSCC via Promoting SOX2 Deubiquitination

    The authors identified new substrates of ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 14 (USP14) and elucidated their role in modulating cancer stem-like cells in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Bioinformatics prediction and docking were performed using UbiBrowser 2.0 and HDOCK, respectively.

    Abstract

    Machine Learning Determines Stemness Associated with Simple and Basal-Like Canine Mammary Carcinomas

    The authors validated, using canine mammary tumor samples, a previously published canine one-class logistic regression machine learning algorithm to predict stemness in canine cancer cells.

    Cell Cycle Heterogeneity and Plasticity of Colorectal Cancer Stem Cells

    New evidence suggests that colorectal CSCs manifest substantial heterogeneity, as exemplified by the existence of both actively cycling Lgr5+ CSCs as well as quiescent Lgr5+ CSCs that are resistant to conventional anticancer therapies.
