    Terminally Exhausted CD8+ T Cells Resistant to PD-1 Blockade Promote Generation and Maintenance of Aggressive Cancer Stem Cells

    Researchers reported that terminally exhausted (TTEX) cells actively participated in tumor progression by modulating CSCs. TTEX cells strongly correlated with elevated CSC frequency in poorly immune-infiltrated advanced human breast and ovarian carcinomas.

    Abstract

    Tumor Microenvironment-Responsive Nanoherb Delivery System for Synergistically Inhibition of Cancer Stem Cells

    Monodisperse hollow-structured MnO2 was successively modified with hyaluronic acid to enhance targeting CSCs with high CD44 expression levels.
    [ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces]

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    A Novel Lonidamine Derivative Targeting Mitochondria to Eliminate Cancer Stem Cells by Blocking Glutamine Metabolism

    Investigators reported a novel derivative of lonidamine, namely HYL001, which selectively and potently inhibited CSCs by targeting mitochondria.

    Full ArticleGraphical Abstract

    Development of DNA Aptamers for Visualization of Glial Brain Tumors and Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells

    Scientists presented DNA aptamers capable of specific binding to glial tumor cells in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo for visualization diagnostics of central nervous system tumors.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Discovery of YH677 as a Cancer Stemness Inhibitor That Suppresses Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Growth and Metastasis by Regulating the TGFβ Signaling Pathway

    Harmine was identified as a hit compound based on phenotypic screening of a 2D assay and patient-derived organoid model that was established from a patient with multiple drug resistance and breast metastases.
    [Cancer Letters]

    Abstract

    Matrix Gla Protein Drives Stemness and Tumor Initiation in Ovarian Cancer

    Researchers investigated the molecular and funcitonal makeup of ovarian CSCs (OCSCs) in clinically relevant model systems, and revealed that Matrix Gla Protein was markedly enriched in OCSCs.

    G9a Promotes Immune Suppression by Targeting the Fbxw7/Notch Pathway in Glioma Stem Cells

    The authors investigated the effects of histone methyltransferases 2, EHMT2 or G9a, on immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and whether this effect was related to changes on cell stemness.

    TIPE2 Sensitizes Breast Cancer Cells to Paclitaxel by Suppressing Drug-Induced Autophagy and Cancer Stem Cell Properties

    The in vitro and in vivo study demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein-8-like-2 (TIPE2) sensitized breast cancer cells to paclitaxel by suppressing drug-induced autophagy and CSC properties.

    Eradicating the Tumor “Seeds”: Nanomedicines-Based Therapies against Cancer Stem Cells

    The authors summarize the biological hallmarks and markers of CSCs, and the nanotechnology-based therapies to eradicate them.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract
    INDUSTRY AND POLICY NEWS

    FDA Floats Oncology Authorization Shake-Up, Pitching ‘One-Trial’ Model for Accelerated and Full Approval

    The FDA outlined plans to move away from single-arm studies and instead favor randomized controlled trials that can potentially serve as the basis for both accelerated and full approval.
