Colorectal carcinoma peritoneal metastases-derived organoids: results and perspective of a model for tailoring hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy from bench-to-bedside
Peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRCPM) are related to poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been reported to improve survival, but... (Source: Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cancer Research)

Cholesterol and Immune Microenvironment: Path Towards Tumorigenesis
AbstractPurpose of ReviewSince obesity is a major risk factor for many different types of cancer, examining one of the most closely associated comorbidities, such as hypercholesterolemia, is crucial to understanding how obesity causes cancer. Hypercholesterolemia is usually associated with many cardiovascular complications such as hypertension, angina, and atherosclerosis. In addition, cholesterol may be a major factor in increasing cancer risk. Cancer patients who received statins, an anti-hypercholesteremic medicine, demonstrated improved prognosis possibly through its effect on tumor proliferation, apoptosis, and oxidat...

The transcriptional landscape of coding and non-coding RNAs in recurrent and non-recurrent colon cancer
A considerable number of colon cancer patients with local or local advanced disease suffer from recurrence and there is an urgent need for better prognostic biomarkers in this setting. Here, the transcriptomic landscape of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs), pseudogenes and circular RNAs (circRNAs), as well as RNAs denoted as miscellaneous RNAs, was profiled by total RNA sequencing.

An isolated vaginal metastasis from rectal cancer: a case report
ConclusionVaginal metastases from colorectal cancer are extremely rare. A vigilant gynecological examination is recommended during the follow-up of colorectal cancer patients. Diagnosis can be challenging, especially if the metastatic lesion is small and asymptomatic, even after standard radiological examination. Surgical resection followed by chemotherapy is a valid option for patients with early isolated metastases. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2110: Metabolic Rewiring in Cancer: Small Molecule Inhibitors in Colorectal Cancer Therapy
Regina Alterations in cellular metabolism, such as dysregulation in glycolysis, lipid metabolism, and glutaminolysis in response to hypoxic and low-nutrient conditions within the tumor microenvironment, are well-recognized hallmarks of cancer. Therefore, understanding the interplay between aerobic glycolysis, lipid metabolism, and glutaminolysis is crucial for developing effective metabolism-based therapies for cancer, particularly in the context of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this regard, the present review explores the complex field of metabolic reprogramming in tumorigenesis and progression, providing insights into...

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 | PMC:PMC11068426 | DOI:10.1503/jpn.230106 (Source: Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience)

Zinc Suppresses Colorectal Cancer Development through Cell-mediated Immunity
Yakugaku Zasshi. 2024;144(5):475-481. doi: 10.1248/yakushi.23-00154-1.ABSTRACTZinc is one of the essential trace elements, and is involved in various functions in the body. Zinc deficiency is known to cause immune abnormalities, but the mechanism is not fully understood. Therefore, we focused our research on tumor immunity to elucidate the effect of zinc on colorectal cancer and its mechanisms. Mice were treated with azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to develop colorectal cancer, then the relationship between zinc content in the diet and the number and area of tumors in the colon was observed. The number ...

Molecular targets and mechanisms of different aberrant alternative splicing in metastatic liver cancer
World J Clin Oncol. 2024 Apr 24;15(4):531-539. doi: 10.5306/wjco.v15.i4.531.ABSTRACTMetastasis remains a major challenge in the successful management of malignant diseases. The liver is a major site of metastatic disease and a leading cause of death from gastrointestinal malignancies such as colon, stomach, and pancreatic cancers, as well as melanoma, breast cancer, and sarcoma. As an important factor that influences the development of metastatic liver cancer, alternative splicing drives the diversity of RNA transcripts and protein subtypes, which may provide potential to broaden the target space. In particular, the dysfun...
