    The
    Cross-Talk between Methylation and Phosphorylation in Lymphoid-Specific Helicase Drives Cancer Stem-Like Properties

    The arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 can methylate lymphoid-specific helicase (LSH) at R309 residue, meanwhile, LSH could as well be phosphorylated by MAPK1 kinase at S503 residue.

    In Vitro
    Studies to Define the Cell-Surface and Intracellular Targets of Polyarginine-Conjugated Sodium Borocaptate as a Potential Delivery Agent for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

    Scientists performed BSH-polyR-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) against glioma stem-like cells and revealed that BSH-polyR successfully induced BNCT-dependent cell death specifically in CD44High cells.

    Upregulation of S100A10 in Metastasized Breast Cancer Stem Cells

    Knockdown of S100A10 in breast cancer cells suppressed and overexpression of S100A10 in breast cancer patient‐derived tumor xenograft cells enhanced their invasion abilities and 3D organoid formation capacities in vitro.

    Abstract

    Downregulation
    of the CCL2/CCR2 and CXCL10/CXCR3 Axes Contributes to Antitumor Effects in a Mouse Model of Malignant Glioma

    Scientists studied the importance of paracrine signaling in the glioma microenvironment by focusing on the celecoxib-mediated role of chemokines C–C motif ligand 2, C-X-C ligand 10, and their receptors, CCR2 and CXCR3, in glioma stem cells (GSCs) and a GSC-bearing malignant glioma model.

    6-Methoxymellein Isolated from Carrot (Daucus carota
    L.) Targets Breast Cancer Stem Cells by Regulating NF-κB Signaling

    Investigators isolated the compound 6-methoxymellein, which inhibits the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells, reduces mammosphere growth, decreases the proportion of CD44+/CD24− cells in breast cancer cells and decreases the expression of stemness-associated proteins c-Myc, Sox-2 and Oct4.

    Integrative
    Analysis of the Common Genetic Characteristics in Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells Sorted by Multiple Approaches

    Researchers collected the gene expression profiles of ovarian (O)CSCs were from five public cohorts and employed R software and Bioconductor packages to establish differently expressed genes between OCSCs and parental cells.

    Tumor-Associated
    Macrophages Derived from Cancer Stem Cells

    Human induced pluripotent stem cells were converted into CSCs in the presence of conditioned medium from PK8 cells. CSCs were then transplanted in vivo and formed primary tumors.
