Alpha-Enolase (ENO1), Identified as an Antigen to Monoclonal Antibody 12C7, Promotes the Self-Renewal and Malignant Phenotype of Lung Cancer Stem Cells by AMPK/mTOR Pathway

Immunofluorescence was used for antigen localization. After targeted antigen purification by electrophoresis and immunoblot, the antigen was identified by LC-MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry, immunofluorescence, and immunoprecipitation.

Regulatory T Cells Promote Glioma Cell Stemness through TGF-Ī²ā€“NF-ĪŗBā€“IL6ā€“STAT3 Signaling

Mechanistic investigations indicated that TGF-Ī² acted on cancer cells to induce the core cancer stem cell-related genes CD133, SOX2, NESTIN, MUSASHI1 and ALDH1A expression and spheres formation via NF-ĪŗBā€“IL6ā€“STAT3 signaling pathway, resulting in the increased cancer stemness and tumorigenic potential.

Targeting Cancer Stem Cells for Reversing Therapy Resistance: Mechanism, Signaling, and Prospective Agents

Researchers review the identification of CSCs, the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of therapy resistance in CSCs, the signaling pathways of CSCs that mediate treatment failure, and potential CSC-targeting agents in various tumors from the clinical perspective.

PRMT5 Inhibition Disrupts Splicing and Stemness in Glioblastoma

Using two orthogonal-acting inhibitors of PRMT5, researchers showed that pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5 suppressed the growth of a cohort of 46 patient-derived glioblastoma stem cell cultures, with the proneural subtype showing greater sensitivity.

Portrait of Cancer Stem Cells on Colorectal Cancer: Molecular Biomarkers, Signaling Pathways and miRNAome

Investigators summarize the epigenetic findings linked to miRNAome in the maintenance and regulation of colorectal cancer stem cells (CCSCs), including their relationships with different signaling pathways, which should help to identify specific diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers for CRC, but also develop innovative CCSCs-targeted therapies.
