    Abstract

    ANGPTL1 Attenuates Cancer Migration, Invasion, and Stemness through Regulating FOXO3a-Mediated SOX2 Expression in Colorectal Cancer

    The authors demonstrated that the molecular mechanisms of angiopoietin-like protein 1 (ANGPTL1) in colorectal CSC progression may have provided a novel therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer.

    Liver Tumor-Initiating Cells Initiate the Formation of a Stiff Cancer Stem Cell Microenvironment Niche by Secreting LOX

    Researchers reported that the voltage-gated calcium channel α2δ1 subunit-positive tumor-initiating cells of hepatocellular carcinoma specifically secreted LOX, forming a stiff extracellular matrix that was sufficient to drive the formation of tumor-initiating cells with a stiff mechanical trait.

    Dipyridophenazine Iridium(III) Complex as a Phototoxic Cancer Stem Cell Selective, Mitochondria Targeting Agent

    The remarkable activity of complex 1 was observed not only in rhabdomyosarcoma cells cultured in 2D monolayers but, more importantly, also in 3D spheroids, which resembled in many aspects solid tumors and served as a promising model to mimic the in vivo situation.

    Colorectal Cancer Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal Long Intergenic Noncoding RNA 01315 (LINC01315) Promotes Proliferation, Migration, and Stemness of Colorectal Cancer Cells

    The viability, proliferation, stemness, and migration of CD133+/CD44+, CD133−/CD44−, and colorectal cancer cells after transfection or the co-culture with exosomes were detected by MTT, colony formation, spheroid, and wound healing assays, respectively.
