    Stromal Induction of BRD4 Phosphorylation Results in Chromatin Remodeling and BET Inhibitor Resistance in Colorectal Cancer

    Cancer-associated fibroblast-activated stromal signaling, interleukin-6/8-JAK2, induced BRD4 phosphorylation at tyrosine 97/98 in colorectal cancer, resulting in BRD4 stabilization due to interaction with the deubiquitinase UCHL3.

    Foxo1 Controls Gut Homeostasis and Commensalism by Regulating Mucus Secretion

    Scientists identified that Forkhead box protein O1 (Foxo1) regulates mucus secretion by goblet cells and determines intestinal homeostasis. Loss of Foxo1 in intestinal epithelial cells resulted in defects in goblet cell autophagy and mucus secretion, leading to an impaired gut microenvironment and dysbiosis.

    Abstract

    Over-Production of Gastrointestinal 5-HT Promotes Colitis-Associated Colorectal Cancer Progression via Enhancing NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation

    Researchers found that 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels, as well as expression of tryptophan hydroxylase 1 were significantly upregulated in colorectal tumor tissues from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, CRC mouse models, and CRC cell lines, when compared with normal colorectal tissues or epithelial cell lines.

    Abstract

    Degradation of CCNK/CDK12 Is a Druggable Vulnerability of Colorectal Cancer

    The authors screened a library of non-characterized small molecules against a heterogeneous collection of patient-derived colorectal cancer (CRC) spheroids. Knockout of cyclin K (CCNK) or CDK12 decreased proliferation of CRC cells in vitro and tumor growth in vivo.

    Ileal Derived Organoids from Crohn’s Disease Patients Show Unique Transcriptomic and Secretomic Signatures

    Scientists used patient derived organoids to study the epithelial-specific transcriptional and secretome signatures of the ileum during Crohn’s disease with varying phenotypes to screen for disease profiles and potential druggable targets.

    Propionate and Dietary Fermentable Fibers Upregulate Intestinal Heat Shock protein70 in Intestinal Caco-2 Cells and Mouse Colon

    Researchers investigated the regulation of intestinal heat shock protein70 by propionate in human intestinal Caco-2 cells and the colon of fermentable dietary fiber-fed mice and germ-free mice.

    Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Non-Digestible Carbohydrates Prevent Adhesion of Specific Pathogens via Modulating Glycosylation or Inflammatory Genes in Intestinal Epithelial Cells

    The effects of 2′-FL, 3-FL, DP3–DP10, DP10–DP60 and DP30–DP60 inulins and DM7, DM55 and DM69 pectins were studied on pathogen adhesion to Caco-2 cells.

    No Effect of Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 Deficiency on Chemotherapy Induced Murine Intestinal Mucositis

    The authors investigated the effect of deleted in malignant brain tumors 1 (DMBT1) on doxorubicin-induced mucositis. Intestinal tissue was analyzed for the expression of DMBT1 and proinflammatory cytokines.

    Bioavailability of Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury as Measured by Intestinal Permeability

    The intestinal permeability of metal(loid)s such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury was examined, as influenced by gut microbes and chelating agents using an in vitro gastrointestinal/Caco-2 cell intestinal epithelium model.

    NADPH Oxidase 5 Has a Crucial Role in Cellular Motility of Colon Cancer Cells

    NOX5 knockdown significantly inhibited cell migration and invasion in both HCT116 and SW48 cells; however, NOX5 knockdown reduced cell proliferation in only HCT116 cells.

    Abstract

    Pharmacological Inhibition of IRAK1 Attenuates Colitis-Induced Tumorigenesis in Mice by Inhibiting the Inflammatory Response and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition

    Investigators studied the inhibitory effect of IRAK1 and IRAK4 as a preventive strategy using a colitis-induced tumorigenesis mouse model. IRAK1/4 inhibitor treatment attenuated colitis-induced tumorigenesis by inhibiting epithelial–mesenchymal transition.
