    Prognostic
    Model of Patients with Liver Cancer Based on Tumor Stem Cell Content and Immune Process

    Scientists used RNA-seq and clinical data of liver hepatocellular carcinoma from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Estimation of Stromal and Immune cells in Malignant Tumours, mRNA stemness index score, and weighted gene correlation network analysis methods to find genes significantly linked to the degree of immune infiltration and content of tumor stem cells.

    Poor Proteasomal Function with Radioiodine Eliminates CT26 Colon Cancer Stem Cells Resistant to Bortezomib Therapy

    Tumor response to conventional bortezomib treatment was enhanced by targeted radiotherapy of resistant cancer stem cells that had characteristically poor proteasome function.

    Distribution of Lactate and the Monocarboxylate Transporters 1 and 4 in Human Glioblastoma Multiforme and Their Relationships to Tumor Progression-Associated Markers

    Researchers found the existence of individual differences in the regional distribution of monocarboxylate transporters 1 and 4 and suggested that both transporters had distinct connections to glioblastoma multiforme progression processes.

    Lymph Liquid Biopsy for Detection of Cancer Stem Cells

    Scientists introduced lymph liquid biopsy through collection of peripheral and central lymph samples and demonstrated its feasibility for detection of stem‐like circulating tumor cells potentially responsible for metastasis development and tumor relapse.

    Abstract

    YAP
    Promotes Self-Renewal of Gastric Cancer Cells by Inhibiting Expression of L-PTGDS and PTGDR2

    Researchers revealed a novel function of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP) and the mechanism underlying cancer stem cell regulation by YAP.
    [International Journal of Clinical Oncology]

    Abstract

    Sorting
    and Gene Mutation Verification of Circulating Tumor Cells of Lung Cancer with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Peptide Lipid Magnetic Spheres

    Investigators identified an efficient, simple, and specific method of detecting mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene in isolated lung cancer circulating tumor cells and to improve the ability to obtain tumor tissue clinically.

    Prevention
    of Akt Phosphorylation Is a Key to Targeting Cancer Stem-Like Cells by mTOR Inhibition

    Scientists established a CD133+ cell-rich subline from Capan-1 pancreatic cancer cells as a pancreatic cancer stem cell model and compared the effects of KU-0063794, a dual mTORC1/mTORC2 inhibitor, against those of mTORC1-specific rapamycin.

    Abstract

    Increasing
    the Colon Cancer Cells Sensitivity toward Radiation Therapy via Application of Oct4–Sox2 Complex Decoy Oligodeoxynucleotides

    Cellular uptake and localization assays demonstrated that decoy Oct4–Sox2 complex decoy oligodeoxynucleotides could efficiently be transfected to the cells and resided in the subcellular compartment, where they posed their action on gene regulation.

    The
    Role and Specific Mechanism of OCT4 in Cancer Stem Cells: A Review

    The authors illustrate the mechanism by which OCT4 plays a role in cancer stem cells from the perspective of genetic modification of OCT4, non-coding RNA, complexes and signaling pathways associated with OCT4.
