    The Protein Phosphatase PPM1A Dephosphorylates and Activates YAP to Govern Mammalian Intestinal and Liver Regeneration

    Genetic ablation or depletion of PPM1A in cells, organoids, and mice elicited an enhanced Yes-associated protein (YAP)/TAZ cytoplasmic retention and resulted in the diminished cell proliferation, severe gut regeneration defects in colitis, and impeded liver regeneration upon injury.

    Exosome-Transmitted miRNA-335-5p Promotes Colorectal Cancer Invasion and Metastasis by Facilitating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition via Targeting RASA1

    The authors found that exosomes derived from metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line SW620 promoted migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of CRC cells.

    Abstract

    Cancer‐Associated Fibroblast‐Derived Exosomal MicroRNA‐24‐3p Enhances Colon Cancer Cell Resistance to MTX by Down‐Regulating CDX2/HEPH Axis

    Investigators identified differentially expressed HEPH, CDX2 and miR‐24‐3p in colon cancer (CC) through bioinformatics analyses, and validated their expression in CC tissues and cells.

    Liver X Receptor Exerts Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Colonic Epithelial Cells via ABCA1 and Its Expression Is Decreased in Human and Experimental Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    IL-1β decreased the expression of the LXR target gene ABCA1 in cultured intestinal epithelial cells. The synthetic LXR agonist GW3965 led to a decreased nuclear positivity of the p65 subunit of nuclear factor kappa B, a phosphorylation ratio of the p44-42 mitogen-activated protein kinase, and the expression of CCL-28 and IL-8 in IL-1β-stimulated Caco-2 cells.

    Cholesterol Activates the Wnt/PCP-YAP Signaling in SOAT1-Targeted Treatment of Colon Cancer

    Scientists demonstrated how targeting SOAT1 promotes YAP expression by elevating cellular cholesterol content in colon cancer cells.
