Abstract:
:The heterogeneity of brain cancers, as most solid tumors, complicates diagnosis and treatment. Identifying and targeting populations of cells driving tumorigenesis is a top priority for the cancer biology field. This is not a trivial task; considerable variance exists in the driving mutations, identifying markers, and evolutionary pressures influencing initiating cells in different individual tumors. Despite this, the ability to self-renew and differentiate must be conserved to reseed a heterogeneous tumor mass. Focusing on one example of a tumor-initiating cell population, we demonstrate that the atypical cyclin-like protein Spy1 plays a role in balancing the division properties of glioma cells with stemness properties. This mechanistic insight may provide new opportunities for therapeutic intervention of brain cancer.
