Carbohydrate Responsive Element Binding Protein Promotes Colorectal Carcinogenesis via Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

[Oncogene] The authors used the azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium model to induce colorectal cancer and investigate the role of carbohydrate response element-binding proteinin colorectal carcinogenesis in vivo.

Notch Signaling Governs Colorectal Cancer Metastasis via Transcriptional Control of TGF-β Effectors SMAD2/SMAD3

[British Journal of Cancer] Scientists investigated the hypothesis that Notch signaling, through RBP-J, directly transcriptionally regulates SMAD2 and SMAD3, thereby modulating transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway output.

OTUB2 Induces M2 Tumor-Associated Macrophage Polarization and Increases CD274 Expression in Gastric Cancer Cells to Aggravate the Progression of Gastric Cancer

[Cell Death & Disease] Stable OTUB2 overexpression and knockdown cells were cocultured with M0 macrophages to study tumor-associated macrophages polarization.

Emergence of Oncofetal Plasticity Is Ubiquitous in Early Colorectal Cancers

[Nature] Investigators showed that metastasis-associated oncofetal cell states already emerge at the earliest stages of colorectal cancer, concurrent with invasive front formation.

RNA‑Binding Proteins As Epithelial Transcriptome Orchestrators in Gastric Cancer: Immune‑Metabolic Crosstalk and Therapeutic Vulnerability (Review)

[International Journal of Molecular Medicine] Scientists highlight the gastric cancer‑specific mechanisms, controversial scientific issues and latest clinical translation progress of RNA‑binding proteins (RBPs) and propose personalized treatment strategies based on the molecular characteristics of RBPs.

Bottom-Up Programming of Cell States in Cancer Organoids with Defined Synthetic Adhesion Cues

[Advanced Materials] A bottom-up biomaterial-based platform was introduced to program cell state changes in pancreatic cancer organoids by tuning minimal adhesion cues within a synthetic matrix.

Sabotaging Cancer Could Open Doors to New Treatments

[The University of Edinburgh] Researchers at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Genetics and Cancer are launching a £1.5 million Cancer Research UK-funded study to find a way to ‘trick’ bowel cancer cells.

CGF Induces ROS-Mediated Metabolic Reprogramming and Mitochondrial Dysfunction to Suppress Colorectal Cancer Progression

[iScience] Using colorectal cancer cell lines, organoids, and xenograft models, investigators showed that Cya-Gly-Fer (CGF) significantly inhibits tumor growth and metastasis.

Bacterial Protein-Oleate Complexes Induce Ferroptosis-Like Cell Death in Colorectal Cancer Cells by Disrupting Cell Membranes and Inhibiting the β-Catenin-GPX4 Axis

[Cell Death Discovery] Investigators demonstrated that α-helical proteins of bacterial origin can form tumoricidal complexes with sodium oleate.
