Sox2 Is Necessary for Androgen Ablation-Induced Neuroendocrine Differentiation from Pten Null Sca-1+/sup> Prostate Luminal Cells

Researchers provide direct genetic evidence that Sox2 is necessary for androgen ablation-induced neuroendocrine differentiation of Pten null prostate adenocarcinoma. They corroborate that the lineage status of the prostate cancer cells is a determinant for its propensity to exhibit lineage plasticity, and support that the intrinsic features of cell-of-origin for prostate cancers can dictate their clinical behaviors.

Escherichia coli Foster Bladder Cancer Cell Line Progression via Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition, Stemness and Metabolic Reprogramming

In vitro infection of the T24 cell line with E. coli was performed to study the bacterial impact on bladder cancer cells. EMT markers were assessed using immunohistochemistry, western blot and RT-PCR. Stemness characteristics were monitored using RT-PCR.

SMAR1 Repression by Pluripotency Factors and Consequent Chemoresistance in Breast Cancer Stem-Like Cells Is Reversed by Aspirin

Investigators found in breast tumors that the expression of SMAR1 was decreased in cancer stem cells through the cooperative interaction of the pluripotency factors Oct4 and Sox2 with the histone deacetylase HDAC1.

JMJD3 Acts in Tandem with KLF4 to Facilitate Reprogramming to Pluripotency

On one side, JMJD3 induced the pro-senescence factor Ink4a and degraded the pluripotency regulator PHF20 in a reprogramming factor-independent manner. On the other side, JMJD3 was specifically recruited by KLF4 to reduce H3K27me3 at both enhancers and promoters of epithelial and pluripotency genes.

De Novo Induction of Lineage Plasticity from Human Prostate Luminal Epithelial Cells by Activated AKT1 and C-Myc

Both TACSTD2high and TACSTD2low luminal cells transduced by constitutively activated AKT1, and c-Myc could form organoids containing versatile clinically relevant tumor cell lineages with regard to the expression of AR and the neuroendocrine cell markers Synaptophysin and Chromogranin A.

Role of Androgen Receptor Splice Variant-7 (AR-V7) in Prostate Cancer Resistance to 2nd-Generation Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibitors

The role of truncated androgen receptor splice variant-7 (AR-V7) in prostate cancer biology is an unresolved question.The correlation between resistance to AR signaling inhibitors and genetic chances and expression of full length AR vs. AR-V7 were evaluated in a series of independent patient-derived xenografts.

FUT9-Driven Programming of Colon Cancer Cells towards a Stem Cell-Like State

De novo transcriptional activation of Fucosyltransferase 9 (Fut9) in the murine colon adenocarcinoma cell line, MC38, followed by RNA seq-based regulon analysis, revealed major gene regulatory networks related to stemness. Lewisx, Sox2, ALDH and CD44 expression, tumorsphere formation, resistance to 5-FU treatment and in vivo tumor growth were increased in FUT9-expressing MC38 cells compared to the control cells. Likewise, human CRC cell lines highly expressing FUT9 displayed phenotypic features of cancer stem cells, which were significantly impaired upon FUT9 knock-out.
