Targeting Cancer Stem Cells as the Key Driver of Carcinogenesis and Therapeutic Resistance

Refaat A. Eid et al.

Summary: The concept of cancer stem cells (CSCs) has replaced the previous model of tumor composition, indicating that CSCs play a key role in cancer initiation, progression, and diversity. CSCs possess self-renewal and differentiation abilities, resistance to therapy, and tumor initiation potential. Various factors, including transcription factors and signaling pathways, regulate the functional capabilities of CSCs.

Summary: Each year, the American Cancer Society compiles data on cancer occurrence and outcomes in the United States. The latest data shows that breast and prostate cancer progress has stagnated, while lung cancer has shown improvements in survival rates. Lung cancer incidence for advanced disease has declined while localized-stage rates have increased, resulting in higher survival rates. Mortality patterns align with incidence trends, with lung cancer deaths declining rapidly, breast cancer deaths slowing, and prostate cancer deaths stabilizing.

OCT4 and SOX2 Specific Cytotoxic T Cells Exhibit Not Only Good Efficiency but Also Synergize PD-1 Inhibitor (Nivolumab) in Treating Breast Cancer Stem-Like Cells and Drug-Resistant Breast Cancer Mice

Wei Peng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of OCT4&SOX2 specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in combination with PD-1 inhibitor in treating breast cancer stem-like cells (BCSCs) and drug-resistance breast cancer (DRBC) mice. The results showed that OCT4 and SOX2 were associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. In vitro experiments demonstrated that OCT4&SOX2 CTLs had enhanced cytotoxic activity against BCSCs, which was further improved by the addition of PD-1 inhibitor. In vivo experiments showed that the combination of OCT4&SOX2 CTLs and PD-1 inhibitor reduced tumor volume and weight, and increased tumor apoptosis rate.

HULC targets the IGF1R-PI3K-AKT axis in trans to promote breast cancer metastasis and cisplatin resistance

Lei Zhou et al.

Summary: Insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF1R) is frequently upregulated in breast cancer, and its aberrant activation can enhance tumor cell proliferation, cancer stemness, tumor relapse, metastasis, and chemotherapy resistance. This study identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) HULC as a key regulator of IGF1R in breast cancer cells. HULC activates the IGF1R signaling pathway by binding to the intragenic regulatory elements of the gene, promoting intra-chromosomal interactions and histone acetylation. Activation of the HULC-IGF1R/PI3K/AKT pathway leads to tumor resistance to cisplatin through increased expression of cancer stemness markers. In immunodeficient mice, stimulation of the HULC-IGF1R pathway promotes tumor metastasis.

Summary: This review focuses on the interplay between the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and WNT/beta-Catenin pathways in glioblastoma multiforme. It highlights the significance of these pathways in tumor proliferation, stemness, and chemotherapy resistance, and suggests the possibility of targeting them together to enhance the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.

Recent Advances in Natural Product-Based Hybrids as Anti-Cancer Agents

Eleni Sflakidou et al.

Summary: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Natural products have been used for cancer treatment since ancient times, but their limitations in pharmacokinetics, selectivity, and efficacy against drug-resistant cancer cells hinder their clinical application. Conjugation of natural products with other bioactive molecules can overcome these limitations and develop novel bifunctional drugs for cancer therapy.

Identification of the ultrahigh-risk subgroup in neuroblastoma cases through DNA methylation analysis and its treatment exploiting cancer metabolism

Kentaro Watanabe et al.

Summary: This study analyzed DNA methylation and expression datasets of neuroblastomas to identify candidate genes associated with aggressive features. The gene PHGDH, related to serine metabolism, was found to have strong expression and characteristic methylation in a subgroup of neuroblastoma cases. Inhibition of PHGDH suppressed neuroblastoma cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic alternative. Additionally, inhibiting arginine metabolism showed a combination effect, especially on extracellular arginine-dependent neuroblastoma cells with ASS1 deficiency. The results highlight the rational therapeutic strategy of targeting serine/arginine metabolism for intractable neuroblastoma.

HDAC6 inhibition decreases leukemic stem cell expansion driven by Hedgehog hyperactivation by restoring primary ciliogenesis

Alex Pezzotta et al.

Summary: Aberrant activation of the Hh pathway promotes cell proliferation and multi-drug resistance (MDR) in several cancers, including AML. In this study, a positive correlation between Hh, HDAC6, and MDR genes was observed in AML patients, leukemic cell lines, and a zebrafish model. Hyper-activation of Hh or HDAC6 increased proliferation of HSPCs, which could be rescued by HDAC6 inhibition. The presence of a cross-talk between Hh and HDAC6 mediated by stabilization of the primary cilium was detected for the first time. Inhibition of HDAC6 activity alone or in combination with cytarabine efficiently rescued the hematopoietic phenotype, suggesting HDAC6 as a potential therapeutic target for reducing proliferation of leukemic blasts in AML patients.

G1 cyclin-Cdk promotes cell cycle entry through localized phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II

Mardo Koivomagi et al.

Summary: The initiation of cell division is believed to be driven by cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) inactivating key transcriptional inhibitors. In budding yeast, the G(1) cyclin Cln3-Cdk1 complex is thought to phosphorylate the RNA polymerase II subunit Rpb1 at SBF-regulated promoters to promote transcription, suggesting an ancient relationship between cell cycle and transcriptional Cdks.

Oct4 confers stemness and radioresistance to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma by regulating the homologous recombination factors PSMC3IP and RAD54L

Jacqueline Nathansen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the transcription factor Oct4 plays a critical role in regulating radioresistance in HNSCC by controlling DNA damage response and the CSC phenotype. Targeting Oct4 A isoform decreases self-renewal capacity in HNSCC and increases sensitivity to radiotherapy. Additionally, combination of PARP inhibitors with Oct4 A knockout can induce synthetic lethality by disrupting HR-mediated DNA repair mechanisms.

CCL16 maintains stem cell-like properties in breast cancer by activating CCR2/GSK3β/β-catenin/OCT4 axis

Wenzhi Shen et al.

Summary: Our study identified CCL16 as a potential regulator of cancer stem cells and proposed a novel mechanism by which CCL16 governs cancer cell stemness. We found that CCL16 overexpression in breast tumors was significantly correlated with clinical progression. Silencing CCL16 diminished CSC properties and targeting CCR2 and beta-catenin abolished CCL16-mediated cancer stemness.
