    Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation with or without PD-1 Blockade in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: A Randomized Phase II Trial

    Scientists evaluated the efficacy and safety of the radiation–immune checkpoint inhibitor combination in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer in a Phase II, randomized trial conducted in eight major colorectal cancer centers in Beijing.

    Trastuzumab plus Pertuzumab Versus Cetuximab plus Irinotecan in Patients with RAS/BRAF Wild-Type, HER2-Positive, Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (S1613): A Randomized Phase II Trial

    Investigators conducted a randomized Phase II trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of dual-HER2 inhibition against standard-of-care anti-EGFR antibody–based therapy as second/third-line treatment in HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer.

    Mechanisms of KRAS Inhibitor Resistance in KRAS-Mutant Colorectal Cancer Harboring Her2 Amplification and Aberrant KRAS Localization

    Scientists investigated intrinsic resistance mechanisms to KRAS inhibitors using patient-derived colorectal cancer cells (CRC-PDCs). They found that KRAS-mutated CRC-PDCs could be divided into at least an EGFR pathway-activated group and a PI3K/AKT pathway-activated group.

    DNA Replication Stress Underpins the Vulnerability to Oxidative Phosphorylation Inhibition in Colorectal Cancer

    Researchers showed that inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation similarly suppressed the proliferation and tumorigenicity of glycolytically competent colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in vitro and in patient-derived CRC xenografts.

    Transcription Factor FOXD1 and miRNA-204-5p Play a Major Role in B4GALNT2 Downregulation in Colon Cancer

    Forkhead Box D1 (FOXD1) knock down in the non-β1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (B4GALNT2) expresser cell line SW948 stimulated B4GALNT2. Thus, FOXD1 and miR-204-5p emerged as crucial new player of B4GALNT2 down-regulation in colorectal cancer.

    GNG2 Inhibits Brain Metastases from Colorectal Cancer via PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

    Researchers suggested that G-protein gamma subunit 2 (GNG2) contributed to tumor suppression in colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly in preventing brain metastasis, and could serve as a promising biomarker and treatment target for metastatic CRC.

    LncRNA MIR210HG Promotes the Proliferation of Colon Cancer Cells by Inhibiting Ferroptosis through Binding to PCBP1

    Investigators assessed MIR210 host gene (MIR210HG) expression in colon cancer cell lines and tissues, and examined the effects of its overexpression and knockdown on cell proliferation.
