    FTO-Mediated Cytoplasmic m6Am Demethylation Adjusts Stem-Like Properties in Colorectal Cancer Cell

    Researchers showed that the cytoplasmic pool of fat mass and obesity-associated protein impeded cancer stem cellabilities in colorectal cancer through its N6,2’-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) demethylase activity.

    The Murine Intestinal Stem Cells Are Highly Sensitive to the Modulation of the T3/TRα1-Dependent Pathway

    By using ex vivo 3D organoid cultures and molecular approaches we observed early responses to T3 involving the T3-metabolizing enzyme Dio1 and the transporter Mct10, accompanied by a complex response of stem cell- and progenitor-enriched genes.

    Abstract

    AP-2alpha Regulates S-Phase and is a Marker for Sensitivity to PI3K-inhibitor Buparlisib in Colon Cancer

    CRISPR-Cas9 and shRNA were used to eliminate TFAP2A expression in HCT116 and a panel of colon cancer cell lines.

    Abstract

    Colon Epithelial Cell TGFβ Signaling Modulates the Expression of Tight Junction Proteins and Barrier Function in Mice

    In vitro colon organoid culture was utilized to assess junction-related gene expression by qPCR and trans-epithelial resistance. In silico analyses of human inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer databases were performed.
