    γδ T Cells Are Effectors of Immunotherapy in Cancers with HLA Class I Defects

    Researchers applied a combination of transcriptomic and imaging approaches for an in-depth analysis of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-naive and ICB-treated DNA mismatch repair-deficient colon cancers, as well as in vitro functional assays.

    In Vivo Development of Immune Tissue in Human Intestinal Organoids Transplanted into Humanized Mice

    To decipher human intestinal–immune crosstalk during development, investigators generated human intestinal organoids (HIOs) containing immune cells by transplanting HIOs under the kidney capsule of mice with a humanized immune system.

    Chlorogenic Acid Improves Intestinal Morphology via Enhancing Intestinal Stem Cell Activity

    Scientists hypothesized that chlorogenic acid (CGA) exerted intestinal health effects via modulating intestinal stem cell functions. Lgr5-EGFP mice and intestinal organoids derived from the above mice were treated for 14 days and 3 days using CGA solution, respectively.

    Abstract

    Inhibition of Soluble Stem Cell Factor Promotes Intestinal Mucosal Repair

    Researchers demonstrated that stem cell factor functioned as a pro-inflammatory mediator in mucosal tissues and that specific neutralization of SCF248 could be a viable therapeutic option to reduce intestinal inflammation and promote mucosal wound repair in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease.

    Abstract

    PHB2 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Cell Proliferation and Tumorigenesis through NDUFS1-Mediated Oxidative Phosphorylation

    Investigators revealed that Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) expression was elevated in precancerous adenomas and colorectal cancer, which promoted cell proliferation and tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer.

    Identification and Characterization of a First-Generation Inhibitor of Claudin-1 in Colon Cancer Progression and Metastasis

    Scientists found that a novel small molecule, PDS-0330, may prevent colorectal progression and metastasis by interfering with claudin-1 binding to metastatic oncogene Src. This resulted in the inhibition of the resistance to anoikis, invasion, and tumorigenic potential in claudin-1 overexpressed cells.

    The Crosstalk between Microbial Sensors ELMO1 and NOD2 Shape Intestinal Immune Responses

    The authors studied whether nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) and engulfment and cell motility protein-1 (ELMO1) interacted with each other directly or indirectly to regulate bacterial sensing. The polymorphism of NOD2 is known to be linked to Crohn’s disease pathogenesis.

    Frizzled-7 Modulates Goblet and Paneth Cell Fate and Maintains the Homeostasis in Intestines

    Loss of Frizzled-7, an important element in the Wnt signaling, interrupted the differentiation of intestinal stem cells into absorptive progenitors instead of secretory progenitors, precursors of goblet and Paneth cells.

    Abstract

    Effects of the Anti-Inflammatory Drug Celecoxib on Cell Death Signaling in Human Colon Cancer

    Researchers investigated the correlation between celecoxib-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and the effects of celecoxib against cell death signaling. Treatment of human colon cancer HCT116 cells with celecoxib reduced their viability and resulted in a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential.

    Ferroptosis in Colorectal Cancer: A Future Target?

    The authors provide an overview of recent research in ferroptosis and its potential role as a therapeutic target in colorectal cancer. They also propose future research directions that could help to enhance the current understanding of ferroptosis in colorectal cancer.

    Abstract

    Role of Rho GTPases in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Investigators mainly focus on Rho GTPases and their possible mechanisms in inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis. The therapeutic possibility of Rho GTPases is also discussed.
