Suppression of Spry4 enhances cancer stem cell properties of human MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Cancer stem cells contribute to tumor initiation, heterogeneity, and recurrence, and are critical targets in cancer therapy. Sprouty4 (Spry4) is a potent inhibitor of signal transduction pathways elicited by receptor tyrosine kinases, and has

Transcriptomic but not genomic variability confers phenotype of breast cancer stem cells
Background Breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are considered responsible for cancer relapse and drug resistance. Understanding the identity of BCSCs may open new avenues in breast cancer therapy.

A Genetically Engineered Oncolytic Adenovirus Decoys and Lethally Traps Quiescent Cancer Stem-like Cells in S/G(2)/M Phases [PDF]
Purpose: Because chemoradiotherapy selectively targets proliferating cancer cells, quiescent cancer stem-like cells are resistant. Mobilization of the cell cycle in quiescent leukemia stem cells sensitizes them to cell death signals.

MicroRNAs, stem cells and cancer stem cells
This review discusses the various regulatory characteristics of microRNAs that are capable of generating widespread changes in gene expression via post translational repression of many mRNA targets and control self-renewal, differentiation and division of cells.

LMO7-mediated POLR2A degradation promotes cellular senescence through the MDM4/p53/p21 axis
As the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, POLR2A plays an irreplaceable role in gene expression, with the regulation of its own expression and physiological function having attracted widespread attention.

Oncogenic RIT1 mutations confer ferroptosis vulnerability in lung adenocarcinoma
Members from the RAS GTPase superfamily have been closely implicated in the tumorigenesis of various human cancers. Recent sequencing analysis of lung adenocarcinoma has revealed the prevalence of alterations in the RIT1 gene that is a close RAS paralog.

Generation and trapping of a mesoderm biased state of human pluripotency
Application of pluripotent cells in regenerative medicine requires an understanding of how they exit pluripotency. Here the authors demonstrate support for the idea that pluripotency exit involves pluripotent intermediates that exhibit lineage bias by ...

Wnt-regulated lncRNA discovery enhanced by in vivo identification and CRISPRi functional validation
Background Wnt signaling is an evolutionarily conserved developmental pathway that is frequently hyperactivated in cancer. While multiple protein-coding genes regulated by Wnt signaling are known, the functional lncRNAs regulated by Wnt signaling have ...
