Cancer cell employs a microenvironmental neural signal trans-activating nucleus-mitochondria coordination to acquire stemness by Bin He, Rui Gao, Shasha Lv, Ailin Chen, Junxiu Huang, Luoxuan Wang, Yunxiu Feng, Jiesi Feng, Bing Liu, Jie Lei, Bing Deng, Bin He, Bai Cui, Fei Peng, Min Yan, Zifeng Wang, Eric W-F Lam, Bilian Jin, Zhiming Shao, Yulong Li, Jianwei Jiao, Xi Wang, Quentin Liu

“…Abstract Cancer cell receives extracellular signal inputs to obtain a stem-like status, yet how tumor microenvironmental (TME) neural signals steer cancer stemness to establish the hierarchical tumor architectures remains elusive. Here, a pan-cancer transcriptomic screening for 10852 samples of 33 TCGA cancer types reveals that cAMP-responsive element (CRE) transcription factors are convergent activators for cancer stemness. …”
