    CCN1 Interacts with Integrins to Regulate Intestinal Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation

    Researchers showed that the matricellular protein cellular communication network factor 1 (CCN1)/CYR61 coordinately regulated intestinal stem cells proliferation and differentiation through distinct pathways emanating from CCN1 interaction with integrins αvβ3/αvβ5.

    The Role of NADPH Oxidase 1 in Alcohol-Induced Oxidative Stress Injury of Intestinal Epithelial Cells

    In vitro, NADPH oxidase 1 (NOX1) silencing alleviated reactive oxygen species accumulation and the apoptosis of human colonic epithelial cells, while NOX1 overexpression accelerated oxidative stress injury of NCM460 cells.

    Calreticulin Enhances Gastric Cancer Metastasis by Dimethylating H3K9 in the E-Cadherin Promoter Region Mediating by G9a

    Investigators discovered that calreticulin (CALR) was highly expressed in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and related to lymph node metastasis and patients’ terrible prognosis. The introduction of CALR dramatically promoted GC cell migration in vitro and in vivo, while the repression of CALR got the opposite effects.

    HDAC4 Promotes the Growth and Metastasis of Gastric Cancer via Autophagic Degradation of MEKK3

    Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) was upregulated in gastric cancer (GC) and correlated with poor prognosis. In vitro and in vivo assays showed that HDAC4 contributed to the malignant phenotype of GC cells.

    Identification of a Neural Development Gene Expression Signature in Colon Cancer Stem Cells Reveals a Role for EGR2 in Tumorigenesis

    RNA-sequencing analyses of ALDHPositive colon cancer stem cells (CSCs) from colon cancer patient-derived organoids and xenografts showed CSCs to be enriched for neural development genes.

    Spaceflight Analogue Culture Enhances the Host-Pathogen Interaction Between Salmonella and a 3D Biomimetic Intestinal Co-Culture Model

    Using a spaceflight analogue low fluid shear culture system, scientists investigated the effect of Low Shear Modeled Microgravity culture on the colonization of Salmonella Typhimurium in a 3D biomimetic model of human colonic epithelium containing macrophages.

    HER2 G776S Mutation Promotes Oncogenic Potential in Colorectal Cancer Cells When Accompanied by Loss of APC Function

    Researchers investigated the biological functions of a HER2 mutation, G776S, of unknown pathological significance, which was detected together with APC mutation by cancer genome sequencing of samples from a colorectal cancer patient.
