Popis: Little is known on the transcriptional mechanisms that control cancer stem cell (CSC) self-renewal and stemness. Here the authors show superenhancers (SEs) play a role in the transcription of cancer stemness genes as well as prometastatic genes, thereby controlling their tumorigenic potential; disrupting SEs inhibited CSC self-renewal and eliminated CSCs.
