The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of primary cancer cells contributes to the acquisition of lethal properties by tumors, including metastasis and drug resistance. A cell-fate reprogramming strategy based on attractor landscapes can unravel various plastic routes of EMT and discover potential therapeutic targets for EMT reversal while avoiding hybrid states.

Genome and Epigenome
KDM6A Loss Triggers an Epigenetic Switch That Disrupts Urothelial Differentiation and Drives Cell Proliferation in Bladder Cancer
A gain-of-function epigenetic switch that disrupts differentiation is triggered by inactivating KDM6A mutations in bladder cancer and can serve as a potential target for novel therapies.
Molecular Cell Biology
ASPM Activates Hedgehog and Wnt Signaling to Promote Small Cell Lung Cancer Stemness and Progression
ASPM promotes SCLC stemness and aggressiveness by stabilizing the expression of GLI1, DVL3, and SMO, representing a novel regulatory hub of Hh and Wnt signaling and targetable vulnerability.
The RNA m6A Reader YTHDF1 Is Required for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Progression
The m6A reader YTHDF1 is required for progression of acute myelogenous leukemia and can be targeted with the FDA-approved drug tegaserod to suppress leukemia growth.
NFE2L2 Mutations Enhance Radioresistance in Head and Neck Cancer by Modulating Intratumoral Myeloid Cells
NFE2L2 mutations are predictive biomarkers of radioresistance in head and neck cancer and confer sensitivity to glutaminase inhibitors to overcome radioresistance.
SETDB1 Modulates Degradation of Phosphorylated RB and Anticancer Efficacy of CDK4/6 Inhibitors
The identification of a role for TRIM28 and SETDB1 in regulating CDK4/6-phosphorylated RB stability uncovers a combination strategy using CDK4/6 and SETDB1 inhibition to decrease RB degradation and inhibit cancer growth.
Tumor Biology and Immunology
Olig1/2-Expressing Intermediate Lineage Progenitors Are Predisposed to PTEN/p53-Loss–Induced Gliomagenesis and Harbor Specific Therapeutic Vulnerabilities
Multiple progenitor-state mutagenesis reveal that Olig1/2-expressing intermediate precursors are highly susceptible to PTEN/p53-loss–mediated transformation and impart differential drug sensitivity, indicating tumor-initiating cell states and genetic drivers dictate glioma phenotypes and drug responses.
Androgen Signaling Contributes to Sex Differences in Cancer by Inhibiting NF-κB Activation in T Cells and Suppressing Antitumor Immunity
Androgen signaling induces immunosuppression in cancer by blocking T-cell activity through upregulation of USP18 and subsequent inhibition of NF-κB activity, providing a targetable axis to improve antitumor immunity in males.
Targeting RNA Exonuclease XRN1 Potentiates Efficacy of Cancer Immunotherapy
Targeting XRN1 activates an intracellular innate immune response mediated by RNA-sensing signaling and potentiates cancer immunotherapy efficacy, suggesting inhibition of RNA decay machinery as a novel strategy for cancer treatment.
Translational Science
Sequential Targeting of Retinoblastoma and DNA Synthesis Pathways Is a Therapeutic Strategy for Sarcomas That Can Be Monitored in Real Time
An innovative sequential therapeutic strategy targeting Rb, followed by treatment with agents that perturb DNA synthesis pathways, results in synergistic killing of Rb-positive sarcomas that can be noninvasively monitored.

A Cell-Fate Reprogramming Strategy Reverses Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition of Lung Cancer Cells While Avoiding Hybrid States
Network modeling unravels the highly complex and plastic process regulating epithelial and mesenchymal states in cancer cells and discovers therapeutic interventions for reversing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and enhancing chemosensitivity.
