EMT, cancer stem cells and autophagy; The three main axes of metastasis

Ghader Babaei et al.

Summary: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are major factors contributing to cancer cell metastasis. Autophagy has recently gained attention, playing a dual role in cancer cell development depending on cancer type, tissue, and stage. Studies show different signaling pathways are involved in cancer stem cells, autophagy, and EMT. Investigating effective signaling pathways in all three processes could help determine appropriate therapeutic goals.

METTL3 regulates heterochromatin in mouse embryonic stem cells

Wenqi Xu et al.

Summary: METTL3 regulates mouse embryonic stem-cell heterochromatin, critical for silencing retroviral elements and mammalian development. Through m(6)A methylation, METTL3 modulates integrity of IAP heterochromatin.

N6-methyladenosine-dependent signalling in cancer progression and insights into cancer therapies

Fenghua Tan et al.

Summary: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is a reversible epigenetic modification that regulates the expression levels of mRNA and noncoding RNA by modulating the fate of RNA molecules. Dysregulation of m6A modification, especially in human tumors, affects different signal transduction pathways and is involved in biological processes of tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, migration, and metabolic reprogramming.

CLK1/SRSF5 pathway induces aberrant exon skipping of METTL14 and Cyclin L2 and promotes growth and metastasis of pancreatic cancer

Shi Chen et al.

Summary: The study indicates that the CLK1/SRSF5 pathway induces abnormal exon skipping of METTL14 and Cyclin L2, promoting growth and metastasis of PDAC cells while regulating m6A methylation. This research suggests the potential prognostic value and therapeutic targeting of this pathway in PDAC patients.

FTO-mediated cytoplasmic m6Am demethylation adjusts stem-like properties in colorectal cancer cell

Sebastien Relier et al.

Summary: The demethylase FTO was shown to remove N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6A(m)) modifications on RNAs. Here the authors show that FTO impedes cancer stem cell-like abilities in colorectal cancer cells through its m6A(m) demethylase activity, not through internal m6A demethylase activity.

TRAIL promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by inducing PD-L1 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas

Huanyu Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that TRAIL is a negative predictor in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and can promote ESCC progression by enhancing PD-L1 expression, inducing EMT. TRAIL can also regulate PD-L1 expression through the p-ERK/STAT3 signaling pathway.

The mRNA m6A reader YTHDF2 suppresses proinflammatory pathways and sustains hematopoietic stem cell function

Christopher Mapperley et al.

Summary: The study reveals that YTHDF2 acts as a repressor of inflammatory pathways in hematopoietic stem cells, and long-term deletion of YTHDF2 results in HSC dysfunction and ultimately leads to multilineage hematopoiesis failure.
