    Oxidative Metabolism Drives Immortalization of Neural Stem Cells during Tumorigenesis

    Researchers demonstrated that metabolic reprogramming induced by mitochondrial fusion was rate-limiting for immortalization of tumor-initiating cells and triggered their irreversible dedication to tumorigenesis.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Hypoxia Triggers the Intravasation of Clustered Circulating Tumor Cells

    When dynamically labeling breast cancer cells along cancer progression, investigators observed that the majority of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) clusters undergone hypoxia, while single CTCs were largely normoxic.

    Crosstalk between Hedgehog Pathway and the Glucocorticoid Receptor Pathway as a Basis for Combination Therapy in T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Researchers presented a therapeutically relevant crosstalk between Hedgehog signaling and the glucocorticoid receptor pathway acting at the level of GLI1 transcription factor.

    Abstract

    Upregulation of CPT1A Is Essential for the Tumor-Promoting Effect of Adipocytes in Colon Cancer

    The authors demonstrated that carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1A), a key enzyme controlling fatty acid oxidation, was upregulated in colon cancer cells upon exposure to adipocytes or fatty acids.

    Linc-RA1 Inhibits Autophagy and Promotes Radioresistance by Preventing H2Bub1/USP44 Combination in Glioma Cells

    Scientists identified a mechanism of radioresistance mediated by linc-RA1 (radioresistance-associated long intergenic noncoding RNA 1). Linc-RA1 was upregulated in radioresistant glioma cells and glioma tissue samples, compared with radiosensitive cells and nontumor tissues.

    Galectin-3 in Prostate Cancer Stem-Like Cells Is Immunosuppressive and Drives Early Metastasis

    Investigators showed that prostate cancer stem-like cells also colonizing prostate-draining lymph nodes of transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate mice overexpressed galectin 3.

    A Mathematical Model of Average Dynamics in a Stem Cell Hierarchy Suggests the Combinatorial Targeting of Cancer Stem Cells and Progenitor Cells as a Potential Strategy against Tumor Growth

    Researchers hypothesized that tumor relapse after the selective targeting of CSCs was due to intermediate progenitor cells that maintained the tumor volume. In order to support this hypothesis, they implemented a mathematical model derived using pseudo-reactions representing the events of each cell subpopulation within the tumor.
