    NeuroD1 Promotes Tumor Cell Proliferation and Tumorigenesis by Directly Activating the Pentose Phosphate Pathway in Colorectal Carcinoma

    Scientists reported that neurogenic differentiation factor 1 (NeuroD1) was positively correlated with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, in colorectal cancer cells.

    Epithelial NELF Guards Intestinal Barrier Function to Ameliorate Colitis by Maintaining Junctional Integrity

    A combination of genetic and genomic approaches was used to define a critical role of intestinal epithelial cell-intrinsic negative elongation factor (NELF) complex in the maintenance of epithelial homeostasis.

    Abstract

    RING Finger Protein TOPORS Modulates the Expression of Tumor Suppressor SMAR1 in Colorectal Cancer via the TLR4-TRIF Pathway

    As toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) agonists are known to regress solid tumors, scientists observed that lipopolysaccharide induced TOPORS via a TLR4–TRIF-dependent pathway, which in turn modulated the transcription of tumor suppressor scaffold/matrix attachment region-binding protein 1.

    Abstract

    ELK4-Mediated lncRNA SNHG22 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression through Interacting with EZH2 and Regulating miR-200c-3p/Notch1 Axis

    Investigators reported that the expression of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 22 (SNHG22) was significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues and cells, which conferred poor prognosis of patients.

    ERp29 Forms a Feedback Regulation Loop with MicroRNA-135a-5p and Promotes Progression of Colorectal Cancer

    Researchers showed that ERp29 was a novel target for microRNA-135a-5p to inhibit the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC); correspondingly, ERp29 acted as an oncoprotein in CRC by promoting proliferation and metastasis of CRC cells, and suppressing apoptosis of the cells.

    Mitochondrial Matrix Protein C14orf159 Attenuates Colorectal Cancer Metastasis by Suppressing Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling

    The mechanisms underlying metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) remain unclear. In human CRC specimens, a decrease in C14orf159 expression at the invasive front of the tumor and in metastasis was determined.

    Abstract

    LINC00963/miR-4458 Regulates the Effect of Oxaliplatin in Gastric Cancer by Mediating Autophagic Flux through Targeting of ATG16L1

    Investigators found that LINC00963 was aberrantly highly expressed in oxaliplatin-resistant SGC-7901 (SGC-7901-R) cells and promoted proliferation and migration and reduced the apoptosis rate in SGC-7901-R cells.

    Pseudevernia furfuracea Inhibits Migration and Invasion of Colorectal Carcinoma Cell Lines

    Researchers showed antimigratory/invasive potential of Pseudevernia furfuracea methanol extract on HCT-116 and SW-480 colorectal carcinoma cell lines and elucidated possible mechanism of its action.

    CPT2 Downregulation Triggers Stemness and Oxaliplatin Resistance in Colorectal Cancer via Activating the ROS/Wnt/β-Catenin-Induced Glycolytic Metabolism

    The authors analyzed carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and cells. CPT2 was overexpressed in CRC cell lines, and its effects and molecular mechanism on the proliferation, glycolysis, stemness, and oxaliplatin sensitivity were investigated.

    Pleckstrin 2 Is a Potential Drug Target for Colorectal Carcinoma with Activation of APC/β-Catenin

    Identifying a novel substrate of APC/β‑catenin may provide essential clues to develop effective drugs. Small interfering RNA technology and lentivirus‑mediated overexpression were performed for knockdown and overexpression of pleckstrin 2 in colorectal cancer cells.
