LncRNA ANRIL Promotes Glucose Metabolism and Proliferation of Colon Cancer in a High-Glucose Environment and is Associated with Worse Outcome in Diabetic Colon Cancer Patients
CONCLUSIONS: A high-glucose environment can increase the tumor-promoting effect of ANRIL. ANRIL can promote glucose metabolism and colon cancer proliferation by downregulating miR-186-5p with subsequent upregulation of glycolysis enzymes expression and inhibition of apoptosis.PMID:38679999 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2024.25.4.1371 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)

CONCLUSION: For postoperative patients with stage I-III colon cancer, our study indicated that the CP stage is a significant prognostic factor for CSS, which deserves more clinical attention. It's worth noting that including the CP stage in the AJCC TNM staging system of colon carcinoma is beneficial to the survival prediction and clinical treatment.PMID:38684496 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3296 (Source: Annali Italiani di Chirurgia)

The Relationship of Microsatellite Instability with BRAF and p53 Mutations and Histopathological Parameters in Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
CONCLUSION: In colorectal adenocarcinoma, MSI and BRAF mutation are associated with parameters, indicating the host immune response and prognostic histopathological parameters, including tumor size and histological grade. The evaluation of MSI status and BRAF mutation can be particularly informative for predicting the prognosis and guiding the treatment management in poorly differentiated colorectal adenocarcinoma. Understanding the mechanisms of molecular carcinogenesis in colorectal carcinoma and organizing treatment algorithms based on molecular foundations will increase the success of the treatment.PMID:38684491 | DOI:...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2043: Extraction and Isolation of Two Polysaccharides from Chloranthus japonicus Sieb. and Evaluation of Their Anti-Gastric Cancer Activities
g Zhimin Zhao Two unreported heteropolysaccharides, denoted as YCJP–1 and YCJP–2, were isolated from the herbs of Chloranthus japonicus. YCJP–1 was a heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose, galactose, arabinose, mannose, rhamnose, and a minor proportion of uronic acids, with the molecular weight mainly distributed in the 74,475–228,443 Da range. YCJP–2 was mainly composed of glucose, mannose, and galactose, with the molecular weights ranging from 848 to 5810 Da. To further evaluate the anti-gastric cancer effects of C. japonicus, the inhibitory e...

Optimal surgical approach for mid-transverse colon cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionDespite harvesting less LN, transverse colectomy has similar oncological outcomes to extended hemicolectomy for mid-transverse colon cancer. In addition to that, there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two surgeries. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Oncology)

NLRX1: a key regulator in mitochondrial respiration and colorectal cancer progression
AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent and aggressive malignancy with high mortality rates and significant risks to human well-being. Population-wide screening for tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes shows promise for reducing the incidence and fatality of CRC. Recent studies have suggested that NLRX1, an innate immunity suppressor, may play a role in regulating chronic inflammation and tumorigenesis. However, further investigation is needed to understand the specific role of NLRX1 in CRC. To evaluate the impact of NLRX1 on migration, invasion, and metastasis, two human colon cancer cell lines were studied in vitr...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1746: Bovine Meat and Milk Factor-like Sequences Are Frequently Detected in Renal Cell Carcinoma Tissues
ah Axel zur Hausen Previous studies have indicated a potential role of diet in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recently, circular bovine meat and milk factor (BMMF) DNAs have been identified in peritumoral tissues of human colon and breast cancers. Here, we investigated the prevalence of the DNA of these novel human pathogenic infectious agents in RCC and adjacent peritumoral renal tissues. DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) RCC and peritumoral kidney tissues, including a test (n = 11) and a validation (n = 152) collection. BMMF1 and BMMF2 consensus primers were designe...

Difficulties and Disparities in Colorectal Cancer End-of-Life Care: A Patient's Story
Clin Colon Rectal Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1786393Patients with advanced colorectal cancer nearing the end of life require a multidisciplinary approach to address the unique challenges they face. Using a case vignette, we outline the various stages of a patient's journey with advanced rectal cancer and the common obstacles to their care as they interface with the medical system. We highlight how Black persons might be vulnerable to differences in screening, treatment, procedural interventions, end-of-life care, and health care decision-making. The article also addresses how health inequities and barriers relating to concor...
