G9a Promotes Immune Suppression by Targeting the Fbxw7/Notch Pathway in Glioma Stem Cells
The authors investigated the effects of histone methyltransferases 2, EHMT2 or G9a, on immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and whether this effect was related to changes on cell stemness.
[EMBO Journal] Using a variety of in vitro and in vivo techniques, researchers showed that metastatic prostate cancer cells acquire a specific Na+/Ca2+ signature required for persistent invasion.
[Molecular Cell] Investigators explored the role of minor intron-containing genes and minor spliceosome in cancer, taking prostate cancer as an exemplar.
[Nature Communications] The authors uncovered dual-phosphorylated form of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBF1), pY673/951-SREBF1 that acts as an androgen sensor, and dissociates from androgen receptor in androgen deficient environment, followed by nuclear translocation.
