Abiraterone treatment causes multiple androgen receptor (AR)–independent defects in mitosis, resulting in increased sensitivity to Plk1 inhibition. The cover shows in vivo synergistic mitotic arrest and cancer cell death in tumor sections of an AR-v7+ castrate-resistant prostate cancer patient-derived xenograft treated with the combination of abiraterone and a Plk1 inhibitor. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue), and mitotic cells were identified by phospho-histone H3 staining (green). There is an overabundance of cells in mitosis, the majority of which have disorganized chromatin consistent with mitotic catastrophe.

Metabolism and Chemical Biology
Mitochondrial Uncoupling Induces Epigenome Remodeling and Promotes Differentiation in Neuroblastoma
Targeting cancer metabolism using the mitochondrial uncoupler niclosamide ethanolamine leads to methylome reprogramming and differentiation in neuroblastoma, providing a therapeutic opportunity to reverse the Warburg effect and suppress tumor growth.
Aberrant L-Fucose Accumulation and Increased Core Fucosylation Are Metabolic Liabilities in Mesenchymal Glioblastoma
Metabolic characterization of subgroup-specific glioblastoma (GBM) sphere-forming cells identifies the L-fucose pathway as a vulnerability restricted to mesenchymal GBM, disclosing a potential precision medicine strategy for targeting cancer metabolism.
Molecular Cell Biology
Plk1 Inhibitors and Abiraterone Synergistically Disrupt Mitosis and Kill Cancer Cells of Disparate Origin Independently of Androgen Receptor Signaling
Abiraterone treatment induces mitotic defects that sensitize cancer cells to Plk1 inhibition, revealing an AR-independent mechanism for this synergistic combination that is applicable to a variety of cancer types.
The Oncogenic FOXL2 C134W Mutation Is a Key Driver of Granulosa Cell Tumors
A newly generated mouse model carrying a FOXL2 mutation characteristic of adult-type granulosa cell tumors shows that FOXL2 C134W shifts the transcriptome towards a signature of granulosa cell cancer and drives tumorigenesis.
MEX3A Mediates p53 Degradation to Suppress Ferroptosis and Facilitate Ovarian Cancer Tumorigenesis
Degradation of p53 mediated by MEX3A drives ovarian cancer growth by circumventing p53 tumor suppressive functions, suggesting targeting MEX3A as a potential strategy for treating of ovarian cancer expressing WT p53.
Tumor Biology and Immunology
JAK–STAT Signaling in Inflammatory Breast Cancer Enables Chemotherapy-Resistant Cell States
Chemotherapy resistance in inflammatory breast cancer is driven by the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, in part via cAMP/PKA signaling and a cell state switch, which can be overcome using paclitaxel combined with JAK2 inhibitors.
Translational Science
Transcriptional Antagonism by CDK8 Inhibition Improves Therapeutic Efficacy of MEK Inhibitors
Transcriptional adaptation to MEK inhibition is mediated by CDK8 and can be blocked by the addition of CDK8 inhibitors to improve response to MEK inhibitors in RAS-mutant neuroblastoma, a clinically challenging disease.
Immunotherapeutic Targeting and PET Imaging of DLL3 in Small-Cell Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer
The preclinical and clinical evaluation of DLL3-directed immunotherapy, AMG 757, and development of a PET radiotracer for noninvasive DLL3 detection demonstrate the potential of targeting DLL3 in SCNC prostate cancer.
Loss of NF1 in Melanoma Confers Sensitivity to SYK Kinase Inhibition
A kinase inhibitor screen identifies SYK as a targetable vulnerability in melanoma cells with NF1 loss of function.
Population and Prevention Science
Genome-Wide Analysis of Rare Haplotypes Associated with Breast Cancer Risk
A genome-wide two-stage haplotype analysis identifies rare haplotypes associated with breast cancer risk and suggests that the rare risk haplotypes represent long-range interactions with regulatory consequences influencing cancer risk.
