    Cancer Stem Cells Release Interleukin-33 within Large Oncosomes to Promote Immunosuppressive Differentiation of Macrophage Precursors

    Researchers examined how IL-33 derived from CSCs facilitated the development of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. CSCs with high NRF2 activity redistributed nuclear IL-33 to the cytoplasm and released IL-33 as cargo of large oncosomes.

    Integrated Drug Resistance and Leukemic Stemness Gene-Expression Scores Predict Outcomes in Large Cohort of Over 3500 AML Patients from 10 Trials

    Investigators leveraged machine-learning tools by evaluating expression of genes of pharmacological relevance to standard-AML chemotherapy in a discovery-cohort of pediatric AML patients and defined a 5-gene-drug resistance score that was predictive of outcome.

    Selective Lysis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells by CD34/CD3 Bispecific Antibody through the Activation of γδ T-Cells

    Scientists tested the efficacy of the CD34-specific bispecific T cell engager (BTE) using in vitro expanded γδ T cells as effectors. They showed that the BTEs bind to γδ T-cells and CD34+ leukemic cell lines and induce target cell killing in a dose-dependent manner.

    Olanzapine Suppresses mPFC Activity-Norepinephrine Releasing to Alleviate CLOCK-Enhanced Cancer Stemness under Chronic Stress

    KrasLSL−G12D/WT lung cancer model and LLC1 syngeneic tumor model were used to study the effect of Olanzapine on cancer stemness and anxiety-like behaviors.

    Nrf2/ASPM Axis Regulated Vasculogenic Mimicry Formation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Under Hypoxia

    Nrf2 and assembly factor for spindle microtubules (ASPM) expression facilitated epithelial–mesenchymal transition, CSCs feature, and sasculogenic mimicry formation of HCC cells under hypoxia.

    Expression of Calpastatin Hcast 3–25 and Activity of the Calpain/Calpastatin System in Human Glioblastoma Stem Cells: Possible Involvement of Hcast 3–25 in Cell Differentiation

    The authors showed the expression profile of hcast 3-25 (a Type III calpastatin variant devoid of inhibitory units) and the members of the system in several patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, exploring the relationship between hcast 3-25 and activation/activity of calpains.

    Ubiquitin-Specific Peptidase 22 Controls Integrin-Dependent Cancer Cell Stemness and Metastasis

    Investigators showed that USP22 was essential in maintaining breast cancer cell stemness by promoting the transcription of integrin β1 (ITGB1). Both genetic and pharmacological inhibition of USP22 largely impaired breast CSCs self-renewal and prevented their metastasis.

    Single-Cell Sequencing Analysis Revealed That WDR72 Was a Novel Cancer Stem Cells Related Gene in Gastric Cancer

    Researchers identified WDR72 as a CSCs-related gene in gastric cancer epithelial cells. WDR72 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues, and high expression of WDR72 was associated with inferior prognosis of patients.
