Mesenchymal Differentiation Mediated by NF-κB Promotes Radiation Resistance in Glioblastoma

TLDR
It is shown that patient-derived glioma sphere cultures that resemble either the proneural (PN) or mesenchymal (MES) transcriptomal subtypes differ significantly in their biological characteristics, and it is suggested that the tumor microenvironment cell types such as macrophages/microglia may play an integral role in this process.

Cancer stem cells in glioblastoma

TL;DR: To fulfill the future goal of developing novel therapies to collapse CSC dynamics, drawing parallels to other normal and pathological states that are highly interactive with their microenvironments and that use developmental signaling pathways will be beneficial.

m6A Demethylase ALKBH5 Maintains Tumorigenicity of Glioblastoma Stem-like Cells by Sustaining FOXM1 Expression and Cell Proliferation Program.

TL;DR: This work uncovers a critical function for ALKBH5 and provides insight into critical roles of m6A methylation in glioblastoma and a long non-coding RNA antisense to FOXM1 (FOXM1-AS) promotes the interaction of AL KBH5 withFOXM1 nascent transcripts.

NF-κB, an Active Player in Human Cancers

TL;DR: Because of its vital role in various biologic activities, components of the NF-κB pathway need to be carefully selected and evaluated to design targeted therapies.

Glioma stem cells promote radioresistance by preferential activation of the DNA damage response

TL;DR: This work shows that cancer stem cells contribute to glioma radioresistance through preferential activation of the DNA damage checkpoint response and an increase in DNA repair capacity, and suggests that CD133-positive tumour cells could be the source of tumour recurrence after radiation.
