MAPKAP1 orchestrates macrophage polarization and lipid metabolism in fatty liver-enhanced colorectal cancer
This study explores the mechanistic role of fatty liver in CRC progression, focusing on macrophage polarization and lipid metabolism. A murine fatty liver model was created with a high-fat diet (HFD), and CRC was induced using AOM and DSS. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq) identified MAPKAP1 as a critical gene promoting CRC via M2 macrophage polarization and lipid metabolism reprogramming. Prognosis analysis on the TCGA-CRC dataset confirmed MAPKAP1's significance. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that EVs from fatty liver cells enhanced MAPKAP1 expression, accelerating CRC development and metas...

Disproportionate neuroanatomical effects of < em > DCC < /em > haploinsufficiency in adolescence compared with adulthood: links to dopamine, connectivity, covariance, and gene expression brain maps in mice
CONCLUSION: The neuroanatomical phenotype of DCC haploinsufficiency described in mice parallels that observed in DCC-haploinsufficient humans. It is critical to understand the DCC-haploinsufficient mouse as a clinically relevant model system.PMID:38692693 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230106 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Mechanism of bufalin inhibition of colon cancer liver metastasis by regulating M2-type polarization of Kupffer cells induced by highly metastatic colon cancer cells
AbstractPatients with metastatic colorectal cancer often have poor outcomes, primarily due to hepatic metastasis. Colorectal cancer (CRC) cells have the ability to secrete cytokines and other molecules that can remodel the tumor microenvironment, facilitating the spread of cancer to the liver. Kupffer cells (KCs), which are macrophages in the liver, can be polarized to M2 type, thereby promoting the expression of adhesion molecules that aid in tumor metastasis. Our research has shown that huachanshu (with bufalin as the main active monomer) can effectively inhibit CRC metastasis. However, the underlying mechanism still nee...

Real-World Evidence of FOLFIRI Combined with Anti-Angiogenesis Inhibitors or Anti-EGFR Antibodies for Patients with Early Recurrence Colorectal Cancer After Adjuvant FOLFOX/CAPOX Therapy: A Japanese Claims Database Study
ConclusionsThis is the first administrative data-based real-world evidence on treatment sequence and outcomes for patients with early recurrence CRC treated with FOLFIRI+AAs or FOLFIRI+ anti-EGFR antibodies after adjuvant FOLFOX/CAPOX therapy in Japan. Both regimens had similar TTD, but relapse timing and tumor sidedness may influence their efficacy. (Source: Targeted Oncology)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1765: Geographical Variations in Early Onset Colorectal Cancer in the United States between 2001 and 2020
Discussion: Our analysis of nationwide US data spanning two decades and encompassing over half a million early-onset CRC patients, representing nearly 98% of the US population, highlights significant temporal variation in incidence rates across various geographical regions. The most substantial increases in incidence rates were observed in the west, while the least pronounced changes were noted in the south, affecting both men and women. These trends persisted across the main CRC histopathological subtypes, with NET exhibiting a notably swifter pace of increase compared with ADC. These findings hold important implications ...

Overexpressing Bcl-2 enhances murine chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy against solid tumor
AbstractChimeric antigen receptor T (CART) cell therapy has demonstrated promising potential in the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, its application to solid tumors is limited due to the restrictive nature of the tumor microenvironment, resulting in functional failure and poor persistence of CART cells. Overexpression of Bcl-2 in human CART cells (hCART) has been found to significantly enhance their anti-apoptotic effects both in vitro and in vivo. Nevertheless, the evaluation of hCART cells in preclinical studies has predominantly relied on immunodeficient mice xenograft tumor models, making it challenging ...

Preclinical Characterization of DPI-4452: A 68Ga/177Lu Theranostic Ligand for Carbonic Anhydrase IX
Conclusion: DPI-4452 selectively targets CAIX. [68Ga]Ga-DPI-4452 and [177Lu]Lu-DPI-4452 localized to tumors and were well tolerated in mice. [177Lu]Lu-DPI-4452 demonstrated strong tumor growth inhibition in 2 xenograft mouse models. Thus, the 2 agents potentially provide a theranostic approach for selecting and treating patients with CAIX-expressing tumors such as ccRCC, CRC, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
