GSE261004 Gene expression profiles of cells from PDOs of normal colon and colorectal cancers [RNA-Seq]
Contributors : Molong Qu ; Liang XiongSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Homo sapiensPhenotypic plasticity is a major driver of cancer progression, metastasis, and treatment resistance. However, the principles governing human cancer plasticity associated with poor prognosis remain poorly understood due to the lack of in vitro models. Here we identified a unique cancer cell state at single-cell resolution to predict poor prognosis across several human cancers with different clinical features, especially colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and metastasis, named the poor prognostic pl...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1532: Lysine Methyltransferase 9 (KMT9) Is an Actionable Target in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
In this study, we show that KMT9 regulates proliferation, migration, and invasion of various MIBC cell lines with different genetic mutations. KMT9α depletion results in the differential expression of genes regulating the cell cycle, cell adhesion, and migration. Differentially expressed genes include oncogenes such as EGFR and AKT1 as well as mediators of cell adhesion or migration such as DAG1 and ITGA6. Reduced cell proliferation upon KMT9α depletion is also observed in Pten/Trp53 knockout bladder tumor organoids, which cannot be rescued with an enzymatically inactive KMT9α muta...

Trends in mortality from gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic cancers in the United States: A comprehensive analysis (1999-2020)
CONCLUSION: While overall gastrointestinal cancer-related mortality declined significantly in the United States from 1999 to 2020, mortality from some cancers increased. Furthermore, differences between sexes and racial groups underscore crucial differences in gastrointestinal cancer mortality, highlighting areas for future research.PMID:38623490 | PMC:PMC11017855 | DOI:10.1002/jgh3.13064 (Source: Cancer Control)

Urolithin A affects cellular migration and modulates matrix metalloproteinase expression in colorectal cancer cells
Cell Biochem Funct. 2024 Apr;42(3):e4019. doi: 10.1002/cbf.4019.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is the world's second most common gastrointestinal malignancy. Preventing tumor cell proliferation and dissemination is critical for patient survival. Polyphenols have a variety of health advantages and can help prevent cancer. The current study examined different cellular activities of the gut-microbiota metabolite urolithin A (UA) on several colon cancer cell lines. The results revealed that UA suppressed cell growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the current investigation, UA substantially affected cell migration in...

Small molecules that disrupt RAD54-BLM interaction hamper tumor proliferation in colon cancer chemoresistance models
RAD54 and BLM helicase play pivotal roles during homologous recombination repair (HRR) to ensure genome maintenance. BLM amino acids (aa 181–212) interact with RAD54 and enhance its chromatin remodeling activity. Functionally, this interaction heightens HRR, leading to a decrease in residual DNA damage in colon cancer cells. This contributes to chemoresistance in colon cancer cells against cisplatin, camptothecin, and oxaliplatin, eventually promoting tumorigenesis in preclinical colon cancer mouse models. ChIP-Seq analysis and validation revealed increased BLM and RAD54 corecruitment on the MRP2 promoter in camptothecin...

Surgical Decision-Making in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis
Clin Colon Rectal Surg. 2023 Aug 10;37(3):191-197. doi: 10.1055/s-0043-1770732. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTFamilial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting patients with germline mutations of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) tumor suppressor gene. The surgical treatment of colorectal disease in FAP, which has the goal of colorectal cancer prevention, varies based on both patient and disease factors but can include the following: total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis, proctocolectomy with stapled or hand-sewn ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, or total proctocolectomy with end ileostom...

An arresten-derived anti-angiogenic peptide triggers apoptotic cell death in endothelial cells
CONCLUSIONS: It might be suggested that Ars induced apoptosis in endothelial cells through the mitochondrial pathway and had no effect on the cell cycle. Besides, Ars induced apoptosis significantly in vivo. However, further studies are required to confirm the detailed molecular mechanism of Ars, this peptide has the potential to be optimized for clinical translations.PMID:38622345 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09448-y (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

The impact of phospholipids with high transition temperature to enhance Redox-Sensitive liposomal doxorubicin efficacy in colon carcinoma model
In this study, we have developed a redox-sensitive (RS) liposomal doxorubicin formulation by incorporating 10,10'-diselanediylbis decanoic acid (DDA) organoselenium compound as the RS moiety. Hence, several RS liposomal formulations were prepared by using DOPE, HSPC, DDA, mPEG2000-DSPE, and cholesterol. In situ drug loading using a pH gradient and citrate complex yielded high drug to lipid ratio and encapsulation efficiency (100%) for RS liposomes. Liposomal formulations were characterized in terms of size, surface charge and morphology, drug loading, release properties, cell uptake and cytotoxicity, as well as therapeutic...

Microenvironment-induced restoration of cohesive growth associated with focal activation of P-cadherin expression in lobular breast carcinoma metastatic to the colon
J Pathol Clin Res. 2024 Mar;10(2):e12361. doi: 10.1002/2056-4538.12361.ABSTRACTInvasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is a special breast cancer type characterized by noncohesive growth and E-cadherin loss. Focal activation of P-cadherin expression in tumor cells that are deficient for E-cadherin occurs in a subset of ILCs. Switching from an E-cadherin deficient to P-cadherin proficient status (EPS) partially restores cell-cell adhesion leading to the formation of cohesive tubular elements. It is unknown what conditions control EPS. Here, we report on EPS in ILC metastases in the large bowel. We reviewed endoscopic colon biopsie...

The prognostic biomarker TPGS2 is correlated with immune infiltrates in pan-cancer: a bioinformatics analysis
CONCLUSIONS: TPGS2 is aberrantly expressed in most cancer tissues and might be associated with immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment. TPGS2 could serve not only as a biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes, but also as a promising biomarker for evaluating and developing new approaches to immunotherapy in many types of cancers, especially colon adenocarcinoma and stomach adenocarcinoma.PMID:38617524 | PMC:PMC11009813 | DOI:10.21037/tcr-23-113 (Source: Cell Research)
