    p53 Wild-Type Colorectal Cancer Cells That Express a Fetal Gene Signature Are Associated with Metastasis and Poor Prognosis

    Using colorectal cancer patient-derived organoids, researchers showed that sublethal doses of chemotherapy did not select previously resistant tumor populations but induced a quiescent state specifically to TP53 wildtype cancer cells.

    Epithelial De-Differentiation Triggered by Co-ordinate Epigenetic Inactivation of the EHF and CDX1 Transcription Factors Drives Colorectal Cancer Progression

    Scientists identified co-ordinate epigenetic inactivation of two epithelial-specific transcription factors, Ets homologous factor (EHF) and caudal type homeobox 1 (CDX1), as a mechanism driving differentiation loss in colorectal cancers.

    m6A Methylated EphA2 and VEGFA through IGF2BP2/3 Regulation Promotes Vasculogenic Mimicry in Colorectal Cancer via PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 Signaling

    Analysis using high-throughput RNA-seq profile from The Cancer Genome Atlas found that the gene expression of Methyltransferase-like 3 was significantly upregulated among 20 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding proteins in colorectal cancer (CRC), which was also validated in CRC cancer tissues and cell lines.

    The Epigenetic Modifier HDAC2 and the Checkpoint Kinase ATM Determine the Responses of Microsatellite Instable Colorectal Cancer Cells to 5-Fluorouracil

    Researchers showed that long-term and short-term cultures of colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability contained subpopulations of cells lacking histone deacetylase-2 (HDAC2).

    m6Am Methyltransferase PCIF1 Is Essential for Aggressiveness of Gastric Cancer Cells by Inhibiting TM9SF1 mRNA Translation

    Scientists found that both phosphorylated CTD interacting factor 1 (PCIF1) expression and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) modification were significantly elevated in gastric cancer tissues.

    Calcium-Binding Protein S100P Is a New Target Gene of MACC1, Drives Colorectal Cancer Metastasis and Serves as a Prognostic Biomarker

    The authors investigated the interplay with the metastasis driver S100 calcium-binding protein P (S100P) in colorectal cancer progression. Alterations in cell proliferation and motility were determined by functional in vitro assays.

    TXN Inhibitor Impedes Radioresistance of Colorectal Cancer Cells with Decreased ALDH1L2 Expression via TXN/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

    Bioinformatic analysis, in vitro, and in vivo experiments revealed that aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member L1 (ALDH1L1) was a radiation-related gene, and a decrease in its expression induced radioresistance in colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting ROS-mediated apoptosis.

    Sorafenib and Nitazoxanide Disrupt Mitochondrial Function and Inhibit Regrowth Capacity in Three-Dimensional Models of Hepatocellular and Colorectal Carcinoma

    Cells grown in 3D cultures were sensitive to the oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor nitazoxanide, sorafenib, and regorafenib and resistant to other multikinase inhibitors and chemotherapeutic drugs.
