Despite the superior efficacy of radiotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), radioresistance by cancer stem cells (CSCs) leads to recurrence, metastasis, and treatment failure. Therefore, it is necessary develop CSC-based therapies enhance radiotherapy. miR-339-5p (miR339) involved division DNA damage checkpoint signaling pathways based on ESCC cohort. miR339 inhibited stemness enhanced radiation-induced targeting USP8, suggesting that acts as a potential CSC regulator radiosensitizer. Considering limited circulating periods poor tumor-targeting ability miRNA, multifunctional nanoplatform bismuth sulfide nanoflower (Bi@PP) developed efficiently deliver improve radioresistance. Intriguingly, Bi@PP encapsulates more owing their flower-shaped structure, delivering than 1000-fold into cells, free alone. Besides being used carrier, advantageous for dynamically monitoring distribution delivered vivo while simultaneously inhibiting tumor growth. Additionally, Bi@PP/miR339 can significantly patient-derived xenograft models. This platform, incorporating higher miRNA loading capacity, pH responsiveness, hypoxia relief, CT imaging, provides another method promote radiosensitivity optimize treatment.

With the widespread use of anti-androgen therapy, such as abiraterone and enzalutamide, incidence neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is increasing. NEPC a lethal form (PCa), with median overall survival less than one year after diagnosis. In addition to common bone metastases seen in PCa, exhibits characteristics visceral metastases, notably liver metastasis, which serves an indicator poor prognosis clinically. Key factors driving plasticity PCa have been identified, yet underlying mechanism behind metastasis remains unclear. this study, we identified PROX1 driver responsible for promoting metastases. Mechanistically, therapy alleviates transcriptional inhibition PROX1. Subsequently, elevated levels drive both liver-specific reprogramming, Moreover, induced by depend on reprogrammed lipid metabolism, disruption that effectively reduces formation

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a small, yet pivotal subpopulation of tumor that play significant roles in initiation, progression and therapeutic resistance. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are distinct class characterized by their closed‑loop structures, lacking 5' to 3'ends. There is growing evidence circRNAs integral the development regulation CSCs. Aberrant expression CSCs can contribute oncogenic properties drug Specifically, modulate CSC behavior via key signaling pathways, thereby promoting self‑renewal maintenance, as well progression. This review summarizes latest research on functional regulatory mechanisms discusses potential applications challenges targeting Understanding intricate interactions between may lead novel strategies effectively combat treatment resistance improve patient outcomes.
