    Abstract

    Programmed Cell Death 11 Modulates but Not Entirely Relies on p53-HDM2 Loop to Facilitate G2/M Transition in Colorectal Cancer Cells

    Downregulation of programmed cell death 11 (PDCD11) greatly reduced cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo, additionally sensitized cells to DNA damage signals, highlighting that PDCD11 was a crucial driving factor of colorectal cancerand a potential target for cancer treatment.

    Abstract

    TRIM28 Suppresses Cancer Stem-Like Characteristics in Gastric Cancer Cells through Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathways

    Investigators explored the important effects of TRIM28 on gastric cancer (GC) and uncovered underling molecular mechanisms. They found that TRIM28 has an important influence on regulating the stem-like property of GC cell via Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

    Abstract

    The lncRNA FENDRR Inhibits Colorectal Cancer Progression via Interacting with and Triggering GSTP1 Ubiquitination by FBX8

    The effect of FENDRR on colorectal cancer was evaluated using the colony formation assay, transwell assays, and wound healing assays, and FENDRR expression was validated by qRT-PCR.
