Nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2 Cooperatively Regulate Hippo Signaling-Dependent SOX2 Gene Expression, Enhancing Anchorage-Independent T47D Cell Proliferation

The authors found that nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2, but not nectin-4 and either ErbB2 or ErbB2∆Ex16, cooperatively enhanced SOX2 gene expression and cell proliferation in a suspension culture.

MiR-142-3p Targets HMGA2 and Suppresses Breast Cancer Malignanc

The authors demonstrated that the miRNA miR-142-3p directly targeted the 3′ untranslated region of HMGA2, which encoded an onco-embryonic protein that was overexpressed in most cancers, including breast cancer.

p97/VCP Is Highly Expressed in the Stem-Like Cells of Breast Cancer and Controls Cancer Stemness Partly through the Unfolded Protein Response

Researchers examined p97 expression in the stem-like cancer cells or cancer stem cells (CSCs), a cell population that purportedly underscores cancer initiation, therapeutic resistance, and recurrence.

The Effect of hsa-miR-451b Knockdown on Biological Functions of Gastric Cancer Stem-Like Cells

Gastric cancer stem-like cells were transfected by hsa-miR-451b inhibitor then researchers used real-time RT-PCR to evaluate its effect on the expression of hsa-miR-451b and two of its direct target genes, stemness markers such as KLF4, SOX2, CD44, OCT3/4 and NANOG genes.
