    Phosphorylation and Stabilization of EZH2 by DCAF1/VprBP Trigger Aberrant Gene Silencing in Colon Cancer

    Scientists demonstrated that DDB1 and CUL4 Associated Factor 1 (DCAF1) phosphorylated enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) at T367 to augment its nuclear stabilization and enzymatic activity in colon cancer cells.

    Targeting BRD3 Eradicates Nuclear TYRO3-Induced Colorectal Cancer Metastasis

    Using proteomic analysis, the authors identified bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3), an acetyl-lysine reading epigenetic regulator, as one of nuclear TYRO3’s substrates.

    CMTR1 Promotes Colorectal Cancer Cell Growth and Immune Evasion by Transcriptionally Regulating STAT3

    Researchers identified cap methyltransferase 1 (CMTR1) as a novel oncogene in colorectal cancer (CRC). Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database exploration and human tissue microarray analysis, they found that CMTR1 expression was markedly higher in CRC tissues than in adjacent normal tissues.

    Improving the Response to Oxaliplatin by Targeting Chemotherapy-Induced CLDN1 in Resistant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Cells

    Immunohistochemistry was used to determine claudin 1 (CLDN1) expression in post-chemotherapy liver metastases from colorectal cancer patients. The effects of oxaliplatin on membrane CLDN1 expression were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo experiments including flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.

    Serotonin Acts through YAP to Promote Cell Proliferation: Mechanism and Implication in Colorectal Cancer Progression

    Scientists reported that serotonin transporter transports serotonin into colorectal cancer cells, enhancing Yes-associated protein (YAP) expression and promoting in vitro and in vivo colon cancer cell growth.

    SLC27A2 Mediates FAO in Colorectal Cancer through Nongenic Crosstalk Regulation of the PPARs Pathway

    Biological information analysis was applied to detect the expression and the correlation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and solute carrier family 27 member 2 (SLC27A2) in colorectal cancer.

    Vitamin D Receptor Prevents Tumor Development by Regulating the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Human Colorectal Cancer

    Researchers statistically analyzed the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and colorectal cancer (CRC) development in patients and detected invasion and apoptosis in CRC cells with VDR overexpression and interference.
