    IFlowPlate—A
    Customized 384‐Well Plate for the Culture of Perfusable Vascularized Colon Organoids

    A microfluidic platform named IFlowPlate was engineered, which could be used to culture up to 128 independently perfused and vascularized colon organoids in vitro.

    RNA
    N6-Methyladenosine Reader IGF2BP3 Regulates Cell Cycle and Angiogenesis in Colon Cancer

    The expression of m6A associated enzymes and total m6A level were measured by Western Blotting analysis and m6A RNA Methylation Quantification Kit, respectively. Cell cycle was analyzed by flowcytometry. The interaction of IGF2BP3 and related targets was analyzed by RNA immunoprecipitation and m6A RNA immunoprecipitation assays.

    The
    Therapeutic Effect of the BRD4-Degrading PROTAC A1874 in Human Colon Cancer Cells

    A1874-induced degradation of BRD4 protein and downregulated BRD-dependent genes in colon cancer cells. A1874-induced anti-colon cancer cell activity was more potent than the known BRD4 inhibitors. In BRD4-knockout colon cancer cells A1874 remained cytotoxic, indicating the existence of BRD4-independent mechanisms.

    Abstract

    Mutual
    Regulation between OGT and XIAP to Control Colon Cancer Cell Growth and Invasion

    Researchers identified X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) as the main E3 ubiquitin ligase in colon cancer cells. O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) catalyzed the O-GlcNAc modification of XIAP at serine 406 and this modification was required for the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of XIAP toward specifically OGT. O-GlcNAcylation of XIAP suppressed colon cancer cell growth and invasion by promoting the proteasomal degradation of OGT.

    LGR5
    Constitutively Activates NF‐κB Signaling to Regulate the Growth of Intestinal Crypts

    Scientists suggest that LGR5/4‐induced NF‐κB signaling and WNT signaling may co‐regulate the growth of LGR5+ adult stem cells and intestinal crypts.

    GPA
    Peptide Enhances Nur77 Expression in Intestinal Epithelial Cells to Exert a Protective Effect against DSS‐Induced Colitis

    Gly‐Pro‐Ala (GPA) alleviated intestinal inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting NF‐κB activation. GPA bound to the ligand‐binding domain of Nur77 and stimulated its autotranscriptional activity to enhance its expression in intestinal epithelial cells. Furthermore, GPA activated the promoter of IκBα to increase its expression, resulting in the abolishment of the NF‐κB pathway.

    Activation of the Small GTPase TCL Contributes to Colorectal Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion

    Myocardin-related transcription factor A (MRTF-A) promoted migration and invasion of HT-29 cells in a TC10-like (TCL)-dependent manner. MRTF-A directly bound to the proximal TCL promoter in response to hypoxia to activate TCL transcription.

    PRMT5-Mediated Methylation of YBX1 Regulates NF-κB Activity in Colorectal Cancer

    Investigators revealed that protein arginine methyltransferase 5 catalyzes methylation of Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) at arginine 205, an event that was critical for YBX1-mediated nuclear factor κB activation and its downstream target gene expression.

    Epithelial
    WNT2b and Desert Hedgehog Are Necessary for Human Colonoid Regeneration after Bacterial Cytotoxin Injury

    Using the enterohemorrhagic E. coli secreted cytotoxin, EspP to induce injury to human colonoids, researchers evaluated a simplified, epithelial regeneration model that lacks mesenchymal Wnts. They demonstrated that epithelial-produced WNT2B was upregulated following injury and essential for regeneration.

    Why Do Intestinal Epithelial Cells Express MHC Class II?

    Recent studies investigating the role of MHC class II+ exosomes released by Intestinal epithelial cells report conflicting findings of either immune enhancing or immunosuppressive activities. In addition to modulating inflammatory responses, recent findings suggest that MHC class II expression by intestinal stem cells may elicit crosstalk that promotes epithelial renewal.
