MCM8 Is Regulated by EGFR Signaling and Promotes the Growth of Glioma Stem Cells through Its Interaction with DNA-Replication-Initiating Factors

The role of mini-chromosome maintenance 8 (MCM8) in glioblastomas has remained unclear. Scientists investigated the biological functions and mechanisms of MCM8 in glioma stem cells.

Collective ERK/Akt Activity Waves Orchestrate Epithelial Homeostasis by Driving Apoptosis-Induced Survival

The authors observed waves of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and AKT serine/threonine kinase (Akt) activity pulses that originate from apoptotic cells and propagate radially to healthy surrounding cells. This requires epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and matrix metalloproteinase signaling.

ADAM10 and ADAM17 Regulate EGFR, C-Met and TNF RI Signalling in Liver Regeneration and Fibrosis

Investigators showed that while ablation of ADAM17 resulted in decreased shedding of TNF RI, ADAM10 deficiency led to increased levels of soluble TNF RI in serum.

Tumor Suppressive Role of miR-342-5p in Human Chondrosarcoma Cells and 3D Organoids

The authors carried out high-throughput functional screening using impedancemetry, and identified five miRNAs with potential antiproliferative or chemosensitive effects on SW1353 chondrosarcoma cells.

Cell Surface Integrin α5ß1 Clustering Negatively Regulates Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling in Colorectal Cancer Cells via Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3

The clustering of integrin α5ß1 at the plasma membrane of colorectal cancer-derived epithelial cells modulated their ability to respond to stimulation by receptor tyrosine kinase-activating growth factors EGF, NRG and HGF, through GSK3-mediated suppression of Akt pathway.
