    Differential Regulation of β-Catenin-Mediated Transcription via N- and C-Terminal Co-Factors Governs Identity of Murine Intestinal Epithelial Stem Cells

    The authors took advantage of knock-in mice harboring transgenic β-catenin alleles with mutations that specifically impair the recruitment of N- or C-terminal transcriptional co-factors.

    Lymph Node Metastasis-Derived Gastric Cancer Cells Educate Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells via YAP Signaling Activation by Exosomal Wnt5a

    Researchers found that lymph node metastasis (LNM)-gastric cancer (GC) specifically educated bone marrow (BM)-mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) via secretory exosomes. Exosomal Wnt5a was identified as key protein mediating LNM-GCs education of BM-MSCs, which was verified by analysis of serum exosomes collected from GC patients with LNM.

    miR-19a/miR-96-Mediated Low Expression of KIF26A Suppresses Metastasis by Regulating FAK Pathway in Gastric Cancer

    The authors elucidated the roles of kinesin superfamily protein 26A in gastric cancer and its underlying molecular mechanism in regulating tumor invasion and metastasis.

    Abstract

    GPR126 Regulates Colorectal Cancer Cell Proliferation by Mediating HDAC2 and GLI2 Expression

    Investigators found that GPR126 had higher expression in most colorectal cancer cell lines than in normal colon epithelial cell lines, and higher expression levels in colorectal cancer tissues than in normal adjacent colon tissues.

    Abstract

    Characterization of DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptides Using an In Vitro Cell Culture Model of the Intestine

    Researchers characterized the activities of two depeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitory peptides, VLATSGPG and LDKVFER, using the Caco-2 monolayer model for the intestine.

    Abstract

    Heterozygous APC Germline Mutations Impart Predisposition to Colorectal Cancer

    The authors explored whether a heterozygous adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutation induced molecular defects underlying tumorigenic transformation and how different APC germline mutations predict disease severity.

    Combined Effect of Chrysin and Apigenin on Inhibiting the Development and Progression of Colorectal Cancer by Suppressing the Activity of P38-MAPK/AKT Pathway

    Scientists focused on the individual and combined effect of apigenin and chrysin on clonogenicity, apoptosis, metastasis related behaviors of colorectal cancer cells by colony formation assay, cell scratch assay, flow cytometry, and transwell assay.

    Abstract

    EGFL7 as a Novel Therapeutic Candidate Regulates Cell Invasion and Anoikis in Colorectal Cancer through PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

    Epidermal growth factor-like domain-containing protein 7 (EGFL7) was upregulated in several colorectal cancer cell lines as compared with normal intestinal epithelial cell line HIEC. Transfection of EGFL7 siRNA significantly decreased cell proliferation and invasion capacity of SW620 and LoVo cells.

    Nanomedicines in the Treatment of Colon Cancer: A Focus on Metallodrugs

    Unfortunately, most of the newly designed metal-based complexes exhibit lack of selectivity against cancer cells, low solubility and permeability, high dose-limiting toxicity, and emergence of resistances. Nanodelivery systems enable the incorporation of metallodrugs at adequate payloads, solving the above-referred drawbacks.
