    Identification of Quiescent LGR5+ Stem Cells in the Human Colon

    To trace the fate of human colonic stem or differentiated cells, scientists generated LGR5-tdTomato, LGR5-iCT, LGR5-split-Cre, and KRT20-ERCreER knock-in human colon organoids via genome engineering.

    Abstract

    DDX39B Drives Colorectal Cancer Progression by Promoting the Stability and Nuclear Translocation of PKM2

    Researchers showed that upregulated DExD-box helicase 39B (DDX39B) correlated with liver metastases and aggressive phenotypes in colorectal cancer.

    m6A RNA Methylation-Mediated NDUFA4 Promotes Cell Proliferation and Metabolism in Gastric Cancer

    Scientists revealed the pathogenic mechanism of NDUFA4 in gastric cancer (GC). NDUFA4 expression was explored in single-cell and bulk RNA-seq data as well as GC tissue microarray.

    Functional Antagonism between CagA and DLC1 in Gastric Cancer

    Researchers found that H. pylori and cytotoxin-A (CagA) downregulated deleted-in-liver-cancer-1 (DLC1v1/4) promoter activities, and that DLC1v1/4 inhibited cell migration and counteracted CagA-driven stress phenotypes enforcing focal adhesion.

    Differential Gene Expression in iPSC-Derived Human Intestinal Epithelial Cell Layers Following Exposure to Two Concentrations of Butyrate, Propionate and Acetate

    Investigators used human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived intestinal epithelial cells, grown as a cell layer, to study the effects of butyrate, propionate, and acetate on whole genome gene expression in the cells.

    Cannabidiol Inhibits Invasion and Metastasis in Colorectal Cancer Cells by Reversing Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition through the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway

    The non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid cannabidiol significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer cells in a dose- or time-dependent manner.

    Abstract

    Combination of PAKs Inhibitors IPA-3 and PF-3758309 Effectively Suppresses Colon Carcinoma Cell Growth by Perturbing DNA Damage Response

    Scientists investigated the hypothesis that inhibition of PAKs with IPA-3 and PF-3758309 treatment could synergistically reduce colon carcinoma cell growth.
