Tumor-Initiating Stem Cell Shapes Its Microenvironment into an Immunosuppressive Barrier and Pro-Tumorigenic Niche
Using DNA-label retaining, single-cell RNA sequencing, and other approaches, researchers investigated intestinal adenoma in response to chemoradiotherapy, thus identifying therapy-resistant tumor-initiating stem cells.

Diclofenac Down-Regulates COX-2 Induced Expression of CD44 and ICAM-1 in Human HT29 Colorectal Cancer Cells
Scientists investigated the effect of diclofenac, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on cell adhesion molecules and apoptosis in human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Levels of homing cell adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule were evaluated in cancer cells overexpressing or not expressing COX-2.

E3 Ubiquitin Ligase HECTD2 Mediates Melanoma Progression and Immune Evasion
Identified through screening for cancer-specific endogenous retroviral transcripts, scientists showed that the little-studied E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD2 exerted dominant control of tumor progression in melanoma.

Loss of Diacylglycerol Kinase ε Causes Thrombotic Microangiopathy by Impairing Endothelial VEGFA Signaling
By generating a potentially novel endothelial specific Dgke-knockout mouse, researchers demonstrated that loss of Dgke in the endothelium resulted in impaired signaling downstream of VEGFR2 due to cellular shortage of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate.

Valdecoxib Improves Lipid-Induced Skeletal Muscle Insulin Resistance via Simultaneous Suppression of Inflammation and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
Scientists suggest that valdecoxib alleviated insulin resistance through AMP-activated protein kinase/heat shock protein beta 1-mediated inhibition of inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress in skeletal muscle under hyperlipidemic conditions.

Identification of MFGE8 and KLK5/7 as Mediators of Breast Tumorigenesis and Resistance to COX-2 Inhibition
Scientists identified multiple cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) associated genes that regulate tumor lung colonization in TNBC. Furthermore, they found that silencing MFGE8 and KLK5/7 gene expression in TNBC cells markedly restored sensitivity to COX-2 selective inhibitor both In Vitro and In Vivo.

TRPV1 Feed-Forward Sensitization Depends on COX2 Upregulation in Primary Sensory Neurons
The authors report that a novel mechanism, which contributes to transient receptor potential ion channel, vanilloid subfamily, member 1 (TRPV1) activation-induced TRPV1-sensitization within ~ 30 min in at least ~ 30% of TRPV1-expressing cultured murine primary sensory neurons, was mediated through upregulation in cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) expression and increased synthesis of a series of COX2 products.
