    Targeting ACE2-BRD4 Crosstalk in Colorectal Cancer and the Deregulation of DNA Repair and Apoptosis

    Scientists reported that knockdown, forced overexpression, and pharmacologic inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in human colon cancer cells targeted ACE2-BRD4 crosstalk to mediate marked changes in DNA damage/repair and apoptosis.

    METTL14-Dependent Maturation of Pri-miR-17 Regulates Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Induces Chemoresistance in Colorectal Cancer

    Investigators found that overexpression of miR-17-5p led to less apoptosis and lower drug sensitivity in vitro and in vivo under the 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment, which indicated miR-17-5p led to 5-FU chemotherapy resistance.

    Ibrutinib Facilitates the Sensitivity of Colorectal Cancer Cells to Ferroptosis through BTK/NRF2 Pathway

    Ibrutinib sensitized colorectal cancer (CRC) to ferroptosis inducers, suggested by reduced CRC cell viability, proliferation, and decreased antioxidant protein levels in CRC cells after combination treatment of Ibrutinib and RSL3 or Ibrutinib and Erastin both in vivo and in vitro.

    EPIREGULIN Creates a Developmental Niche for Spatially Organized Human Intestinal Enteroids

    Researchers identified an EGF family member, EPIREGULIN, which was robustly expressed in the developing human crypt. Enteroids generated from the developing human intestine were dominated by stem and progenitor cells, and featured little differentiation and no spatial organization.

    The hTERT-p50 Homodimer Inhibits PLEKHA7 Expression to Promote Gastric Cancer Invasion and Metastasis

    The authors reported that human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoted gastric cancer invasion and metastasis by recruiting p50 to synergistically inhibit pleckstrin homology domain-containing family A member 7 (PLEKHA7) expression.

    Ursolic Acid Suppresses Colorectal Cancer by Down-Regulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway Activity

    Scientists determined the efficacy of ursolic acid (UA) on colorectal cancer SW620 cells with respect to the proliferation, migration, clonality, apoptosis, cell cycle, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade, with assessment of the effect of UA on normal colonic NCM460 cells.

    Anticancer Properties of Curcumin-Treated Lactobacillus plantarum against the HT-29 Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Cells

    Lactobacillus plantarum was treated with curcumin, and its resistance to the curcumin was determined. After then the cell-free supernatants of untreated bacteria and bacteria treated with curcumin were isolated and their anti-proliferative properties against HT-29 colon cancer cells were compared.

    M6A Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression via Regulating the miR-27a-3p/BTG2 Pathway

    Investigators evaluated the function of lncRNA ADAMTS9-AS2 in colorectal cancer and its fundamental mechanism. Levels of ADAMTS9-AS2, miR-27a-3p, and B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) were measured by qPCR.
