    Regenerative Reprogramming of the Intestinal Stem Cell State via Hippo Signaling Suppresses Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

    The authors demonstrated that the Hippo kinases LATS1/2 and MST1/2, which inhibited YAP activity, were required for maintaining Wnt signaling and canonical stem cell function.

    DOCK6 Promotes Chemo- and Radioresistance of Gastric Cancer by Modulating WNT/β-Catenin Signaling and Cancer Stem Cell Traits

    The authors identified DOCK6, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rac1 and CDC42, as an independent biomarker for gastric cancer prognosis. Clinical findings indicate the positive correlation of higher DOCK6 expression with tumor size, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, vascular invasion, and pathological stage.

    Abstract

    Oncogenic Smurf1 Promotes PTEN Wild-Type Glioblastoma Growth by Mediating PTEN Ubiquitylation

    Smurf1 promoted cell growth and colony formation by accelerating cell cycle and aberrant signaling pathways. In addition, the authors showed that Smurf1 ubiquitylates and degrades phosphatase and tensin homolog.

    Development of an Artificial Antibody Specific for HLA/Peptide Complex Derived from Cancer Stem-Like Cell/Cancer-Initiating Cell Antigen DNAJB8

    Investigators developed a therapeutic single-chain variable-fragment antibody that recognised the cancer stem-like cell/cancer-initiating cell antigen, DNAJB8.

    Abstract

    AUF1 Promotes Stemness in Human Mammary Epithelial Cells through Stabilization of the EMT Transcription Factors TWIST1 and SNAIL1

    Researchers showed that AUF1 induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and stemness in breast epithelial cells via stabilization of the SNAIL1 and TWIST1 mRNAs, and their consequent upregulation.

    Interplay between V-ATPase G1 and Small EV-miRNAs Modulates ERK1/2 Activation in GBM Stem Cells and Non-Neoplastic Milieu

    The authors investigated the role of V1G1 in glioma stem cell small extracellular vesicles and their effects on primary brain cultures.

    Abstract

    Roniciclib Down-Regulates Stemness and Inhibits Cell Growth by Inducing Nucleolar Stress in Neuroblastoma

    Scientists found that neurospheres derived from neuroblastoma stem-like cells showed a homogeneous staining for several key nucleolar proteins, such as Nucleolin, Nucleophosmin-1, Glypican-2 and PES-1.

    Regulating Stem Cell-Related Genes Induces the Plastic Differentiation of Cancer Stem Cells to Treat Breast Cancer

    Investigators propose a plastic differentiation strategy for irreversible differentiation of cancer stem cells, and salinomycin and its newly constructed functional liposomes were used to implement this strategy.

    Polydatin Executes Anticancer Effects against Glioblastoma Multiforme by Inhibiting the EGFR-AKT/ERK1/2/STAT3-SOX2/Snail Signaling Pathway

    Scientists demonstrated that polydatin repressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and stemness and promoted apoptosis in glioblastoma multiforme cells.
