    Trans-Golgi Protein TVP23B Regulates Host-Microbe Interactions via Paneth Cell Homeostasis and Goblet Cell Glycosylation

    Using a forward genetic screen, scientists found a mutation in Tvp23b, which conferred susceptibility to chemically induced and infectious colitis. Trans-Golgi apparatus membrane protein TVP23 homolog B is a transmembrane protein conserved from yeast to humans.

    N4-Acetylcytidine Drives Glycolysis Addiction in Gastric Cancer via NAT10/SEPT9/HIF-1α Positive Feedback Loop

    Researchers revealed that N4-acetylcytidine, a newly identified mRNA modification, enhanced hypoxia tolerance in gastric cancer cells by promoting glycolysis addiction. Specifically, acetyltransferase NAT10 transcription was regulated by HIF-1α, a key transcription factor of the cellular response to hypoxia.

    Drug Repurposing Screening and Mechanism Analysis Based on Human Colorectal Cancer Organoids

    To efficiently identify repurposed drugs for colorectal cancer (CRC), scientists developed a robust organoid-based drug screening system. By combining the repurposed drug library and computation-based drug prediction, 335 drugs were tested and 34 drugs with anti-CRC effects were identified.

    PDE4DIP Contributes to Colorectal Cancer Growth and Chemoresistance through Modulation of the NF1/Ras Signaling Axis

    Researchers reported for the first time the oncogenic role of phosphodiesterase 4D interacting protein (PDE4DIP) in colorectal cancer growth and adaptive MEK inhibitor resistance.

    Human Neuralized Is a Novel Tumor Suppressor Targeting Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Colon Cancer

    Scientists identified human Neuralized (NEURL), which acted as a novel tumor suppressor targeting oncogenic Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human cancers. The expression of NEURL was epigenetically regulated and markedly suppressed in human colorectal cancer.

    Activin A/ACVR2A Axis Inhibits Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Colon Cancer by Activating SMAD2

    Investigators showed that pevonedistat blocked the ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent repair of topoisomerase I (TOP1) DNA-protein crosslinks induced by TOP1 inhibitors.

    Abstract

    Suspended Hydrogel Culture as a Method To Scale Up Intestinal Organoids

    Investigators developed a method of culturing intestinal organoids within suspended basement membrane extract hydrogels of various geometries, which streamlines the protocol, increases the scalability, enables kinetic sampling, and improves culture uniformity without specialized equipment or additional expertise.

    Dynamic Recycling of Extracellular ATP in Human Epithelial Intestinal Cells

    Scientists characterized the dynamics of extracellular ATP (eATP) on polarized and non-polarized Caco-2 cells. eATP was quantified by luminometry using the luciferin-luciferase reaction.

    Exosome-Delivered miR-153 From Trichinella spiralis Promotes Apoptosis of Intestinal Epithelial Cells by Downregulating Bcl2

    Investigators elucidated the mechanisms by which miRNAs interacted with intestinal epithelial cells. First, a miRNA library of Trichinella spiralis larvae was constructed; then, based on high-throughput miRNA sequencing results, miR-153 and its predicted target genes were selected for follow-up studies.
