Sonic hedgehog (SHH) medulloblastoma is characterized by elevated SHH signaling and a cerebellum granule neuron precursor (CGNP) cell-of-origin. Heterogeneous levels of the PRC2 complex in SHH medulloblastoma drives tumor progression by regulating both cell intrinsic growth competence and subclone cooperation. The cover image shows a specific deletion of a PRC2 subunit EED (green) in mouse CGNP cells, which were labeled with PAX6 (red) and a nuclear marker (blue). Complete deletion of EED led to CGNP depletion and reduced medulloblastoma occurrence, whereas a mosaic EED deletion led to enhanced tumor growth.

The Interaction of SWI/SNF with the Ribosome Regulates Translation and Confers Sensitivity to Translation Pathway Inhibitors in Cancers with Complex Perturbations
This work establishes direct functions for mSWI/SNF in translation and demonstrates that alterations in mSWI/SNF confer a therapeutic vulnerability to translation pathway inhibitors in cancer cells.

Genomic Profiling of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in Lung Cancer
Hybrid-capture, targeted deep sequencing of lung cancer mutational burden in cell-free BAL fluid identifies more tumor-derived mutations with increased allele frequencies compared with plasma cell-free DNA.
The Prostate Cancer Androgen Receptor Cistrome in African American Men Associates with Upregulation of Lipid Metabolism and Immune Response
With immunotherapies and inhibitors of metabolic enzymes in clinical development, the altered lipid metabolism and immune response in African-American men provides potential therapeutic opportunities to attenuate racial disparities in prostate cancer.
Molecular Cell Biology
Constitutive Activation of the Tumor Suppressor p53 in Hepatocytes Paradoxically Promotes Non–Cell Autonomous Liver Carcinogenesis
This study reveals that activation of p53 in hepatocytes promotes liver carcinogenesis derived from HPCs, which elucidates a paradoxical aspect of a tumor suppressor p53 and novel mechanism of liver carcinogenesis.
PRC2 Heterogeneity Drives Tumor Growth in Medulloblastoma
The identification of an oncogenic function of PRC2 heterogeneity in medulloblastoma provides insights into subclone competition and cooperation during heterogeneous tumor evolution.
DLGAP1-AS2–Mediated Phosphatidic Acid Synthesis Activates YAP Signaling and Confers Chemoresistance in Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study identifies D-AS2 as a targetable lipid-related long noncoding RNA that increases phospholipase D activity to promote YAP signaling, triggering chemoresistance in SCC.
Tumor Biology and Immunology
Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Suppress CD8+ T-cell Infiltration and Confer Resistance to Immune-Checkpoint Blockade
Paired syngeneic models help unravel the interplay between CAF and tumor immune evasion, highlighting the benefits of targeting fibroblast subpopulations to improve clinical responses to immunotherapy.
Treatment Represents a Key Driver of Metastatic Cancer Evolution
This study leverages large datasets to investigate the evolutionary landscape of established cancer genes to shed new light upon the mystery of cancer dissemination and expand the understanding of metastatic cancer biology.

Poziotinib Inhibits HER2-Mutant–Driven Therapeutic Resistance and Multiorgan Metastasis in Breast Cancer
Evaluation of the functional impact of HER2 mutations on therapy-induced resistance and metastasis identifies robust antitumor activity of poziotinib and supports the clinical evaluation of poziotinib in ER+ HER2 mutant breast cancer.

Leveraging Therapy-Specific Polygenic Risk Scores to Predict Restrictive Lung Defects in Childhood Cancer Survivors
This study develops a therapy-specific polygenic risk prediction model to more precisely identify childhood cancer survivors at high risk for pulmonary complications, which could help improve risk stratification for other late effects.
