Encapsulation of copper phenanthroline within horse spleen apoferritin: characterisation, cytotoxic activity and ability to retain temozolomide
RSC Adv. 2024 Apr 29;14(20):14008-14016. doi: 10.1039/d3ra07430g. eCollection 2024 Apr 25.ABSTRACTProtein capsules are promising drug delivery vehicles for cancer research therapies. Apoferritin (AFt) is a self-assembling 12 nm diameter hollow nanocage with many desirable features for drug delivery, however, control of drug retention inside the protein cage remains challenging. Here we report the encapsulation of copper(ii)-1,10-phenanthroline (Cu(phen)) within the horse spleen AFt (HSAFt) nanocage, by diffusion of the metal through the pores between the protein subunits. Transmission electron microscopy revealed the forma...

Characterization of tongue coating microbiome from patients with colorectal cancer
CONCLUSION: These results elucidate the use of tongue coating microbiome in CRC patients firstly, and the fur-types observed contribute to a better understanding of the microbial community in human. Furthermore, the tongue coating microbiota-based biomarkers provide a valuable reference for CRC prediction and diagnosis.PMID:38686186 | PMC:PMC11057396 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2024.2344278 (Source: Cancer Control)

Activation of M2 macrophage autophagy by rapamycin increases the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer xenografts
CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, autophagy-activated M2 supernatant can downregulate the expression of the antiapoptotic genes Livin and Survivin in CRC xenografts, improving the radiosensitivity of CRC by inducing apoptosis in combination with radiotherapy and inhibiting the growth of transplanted tumors.PMID:38687942 | DOI:10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_215_23 (Source: Cell Research)

Estimated impact and value of blood-based colorectal cancer screening at varied adherence compared with stool-based screening
Conclusions: Triennial screening with mt-sDNA resulted in better clinical outcomes at a lower cost compared with the modeled blood-based test even at perfect adherence, supporting application of blood-based tests only as a secondary screening option.PMID:38686394 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2349467 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Colorectal Cancer Incidence in Iran Based on Sex, Age, and Geographical Regions: A Study of 2014-2017 and Projected Rates to 2025
CONCLUSION: The anticipated increase in CRC incidence in Iran emphasizes the need for additional studies to better identify risk factors. Furthermore, implementing screening programs is recommended for individuals at a higher risk of CRC, including men, the elderly population, and those residing in regions with a notable prevalence of CRC.PMID:38685843 | DOI:10.34172/aim.2024.26 (Source: Archives of Iranian Medicine)

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1756: Interventional Treatments of Colorectal Liver Metastases Using Thermal Ablation and Transarterial Chemoembolization: A Single-Center Experience over 26 Years
li Hamzah Adwan The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term results of different locoregional treatments for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM), including transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) and microwave ablation (MWA). A total of 2140 patients with CRLM treated at our department between 1993 and 2020 were included in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into the following groups: LITT (573 patients; median age: 62 years), TACE + LITT (346 patients; median age: 62 years), MWA (67 patients; median age: 59 years), TACE + MWA (152 patients; median age:...
