    Synthetical Lethality of Werner Helicase and Mismatch Repair Deficiency Is Mediated by p53 and PUMA in Colon Cancer

    Investigators showed that Werner (WRN) helicase depletion selectively induced p53/PUMA-mediated cell death program in mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer cells. The in vitro and in vivo effects of WRN depletion or inhibition were dependent on p53/PUMA-mediated apoptosis.

    Chronic GPER Activation Prompted the Proliferation of Ileal Stem Cell in Ovariectomized Mice Depending on Paneth Cell Derived Wnt3

    Investigators tested the effect of chronic G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) activation on intestinal stem cells of ovariectomized (OVX) mice by injection of the selective GPER agonist G-1 for 28 days, or G-1 stimulation of organoids derived from crypts of OVX mice.

    Pals1 Functions in Redundancy with SMAP1 to Inhibit Arf6 in Order to Prevent Rac1-Dependent Colorectal Cancer Cell Migration and Invasion

    Scientists identified a redundancy between SMAP1 and Pals1 in the regulation of activation of Arf6/Rac1, thereby controlling cell migration, invasion, and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells.

    The PLK1-mTOR Axis Regulates Autophagy to Prevent Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction During Sepsis

    Researchers focused on the potential role of autophagy in sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction and explored the mechanisms in vivo and in vitro. Excessive apoptosis in intestinal epithelia and a disrupted intestinal barrier were observed in septic mice.

    TIGD1 Is an Independent Prognostic Factor that Promotes the Progression of Colon Cancer

    Investigators studied the function and mode of action of TIGD1 in the development of colon cancer. A series of cell assays were conducted to assess the function of TIGD1 in the proliferation and migration of colon cancer, and flow cytometry was used to explore its effects on apoptosis and the cell cycle.
