    CC-90009, a Novel Cereblon E3 Ligase Modulator Targets Acute Myeloid Leukemia Blasts and Leukemia Stem Cells

    Using a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screen for effectors of CC-90009 response, researchers uncovered the ILF2 and ILF3 heterodimeric complex as a novel regulator of cereblon expression. Knockout of ILF2/ILF3 decreased the production of full-length cereblon protein via modulating CRBN mRNA alternative splicing, leading to diminished response to CC-90009.

    Prediction
    of Cancer Stem Cell Fate by Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Functionalized Nanoprobes

    Investigators introduced nickel-based functionalized nanoprobe facilitated surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for prediction of cancer dissemination by undertaking CSC-based surveillance. SERS profiling of CSCs of various cell lines was compared with their cancer counterparts for the prediction of prognosis, with statistical significance of single-cell sensitivity.

    Differentiation of Cancer Stem Cells through Nanoparticle Surface Engineering

    Scientists report the integrated use of nanoparticle engineering and hypothesis-free sensing to identify nanoparticles capable of efficient differentiation of CSCs into non-CSC phenotypes.

    Hypoxic
    Glioma Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Containing Linc01060 Promote Progression of Glioma by Regulating the MZF1/C-Myc/HIF-1α

    The authors explored the mechanisms by which lncRNA derived from hypoxic glioma stem cells cause glioma progression. Isolation and identification of the Linc01060 gene, the exosomes containing them, and the proteins from tumor cells regulating the gene allowed for studying the effects of Linc01060 on proliferation and glycometabolism.

    SCIRT
    lncRNA Restrains Tumorigenesis by Opposing Transcriptional Programs of Tumor-Initiating Cells

    Researchers showed that as breast tumor-initiating cells formed, a decrease in cell-cycle and increase in self-renewal gene expression was coregulated by SOX2 and EZH2, which colocalized at CpG islands.

    On-Treatment
    Measurements of Circulating Tumor DNA during FOLFOX Therapy in Patients with Colorectal Cancer

    The authors did not observe a spike in circulating tumor (ct) DNA as a sign of a responsive tumor, but instead ctDNA levels initially decreased and remained low in patients with stable disease or partial response.

    PARK7
    Maintains the Stemness of Glioblastoma Stem Cells by Stabilizing Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Variant III

    Deregulation of PARK7 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various human diseases, including cancer. Scientists clarified the effect of PARK7 on stemness and radioresistance of glioblastoma stem cells.

    AMD1
    Is Required for the Maintenance of Leukemic Stem Cells and Promotes Chronic Myeloid Leukemic Growth

    Researchers found that leukemic stem cells were highly differentiated, and leukemia progression was severely impaired in the absence of adenosyl methionine decarboxylase (AMD1) in vivo.

    NEAT1 Remodels Chromatin to Promote the 5-Fu Resistance by Maintaining Colorectal Cancer Stemness

    The authors observed that lncRNA NEAT1 was associated with 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) resistance in colorectal cancer. They showed that NEAT1 promoted 5-Fu resistance in colorectal cells.

    Secreted IL6 Selects for “Stem-Like” Population and Alters Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment by Reprogramming Metabolic Pathways

    Scientists showed that in pancreatic tumors, the developing stroma increased tumor initiation frequency in pancreatic cancer cells in vivo by enriching for CD133+ aggressive “stem-like” cells.
