The multivisceral landscape of colorectal cancer metastasis: implications for targeted therapies
J Clin Invest. 2024 Mar 1;134(5):e178331. doi: 10.1172/JCI178331.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most common cancer types and the second deadliest malignancy for both sexes. Metastatic disease poses substantial therapeutic challenges, and peritoneal spread, in particular, reduces quality of life and has a dismal outcome. In this issue of the JCI, Berlin and authors have made considerable advancements in understanding the cellular and molecular composition of multivisceral CRC metastasis in a sophisticated murine orthotopic organoid model and in humans.

Small molecules that disrupt RAD54-BLM interaction hamper tumor proliferation in colon cancer chemoresistance models
J Clin Invest. 2024 Feb 29:e161941. doi: 10.1172/JCI161941. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRAD54 and BLM helicase play pivotal roles during homologous recombination repair (HRR) ensuring genome maintenance. BLM amino acids (181-212) interacts with RAD54 and enhances its chromatin remodelling 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 validati...

Clinical Evaluation of the Effect of Encorafenib on Bupropion, Rosuvastatin, and Coproporphyrin I and Considerations for Statin Coadministration
CONCLUSION: The results from these clinical studies suggest that encorafenib does not cause clinically relevant CYP2B6 induction or inhibition but is an inhibitor of BCRP and may also inhibit OATP1B1/3 to a lesser extent. Based on these results, it may be necessary to consider switching statins or reducing statin dosage accordingly for coadministration with encorafenib.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03864042, registered 6 March 2019.PMID:38424308 | DOI:10.1007/s40262-024-01352-9 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)

JAK/STAT3 represents a therapeutic target for colorectal cancer patients with stromal-rich tumors
In this study we investigate the effectiveness of inhibiting JAK/STAT3 in diverse CRC models, establish in which contexts high pathway expression is prognostic and perform in depth analysis underlying phenotypes. In this study we investigated the use of JAK inhibitors for anti-cancer activity in CRC cell lines, mouse model organoids and patient-derived organoids. Immunohistochemical staining of the TransSCOT clinical trial cohort, and 2 independent large retrospective CRC patient cohorts was performed to assess the prognostic value of JAK/STAT3 expression. We performed mutational profiling, bulk RNASeq and NanoString GeoMx...

Value of glucose transport protein 1 expression in detecting lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer
CONCLUSION: GLUT-1 expression was significantly correlated with the SUVmax of 18F-FDG-PET/CT for primary tumors and lymph nodes. Clinicians should consider GLUT-1 expression in preoperative endoscopic biopsy in interpreting PET/CT findings.PMID:38414613 | PMC:PMC10895641 | DOI:10.12998/wjcc.v12.i5.931 (Source: Clinical Colorectal Cancer)
