Single-Cell Multiomics Sequencing Reveals Prevalent Genomic Alterations in Tumor Stromal Cells of Human Colorectal Cancer

To what extent stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment are transformed by colorectal cancer (CRC) cells is unexplored.To dissect alterations in these non-malignant cells, researchers performed single-cell multiomics sequencing of 21 patients with microsatellite-stable colorectal cancers and 6 cancer-free, elderly individuals.

5-FU Promotes Stemness of Colorectal Cancer via p53-Mediated WNT/β-Catenin Pathway Activation

Researchers indicate p53 as a critical mediator of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced cancer stem cell activation via the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway and highlight the significance of combinatorial treatment of WNT inhibitor and 5-FU as a compelling therapeutic strategy to improve the poor outcomes of current 5-FU-based therapies for colorectal cancer patients.

SMAR1 Repression by Pluripotency Factors and Consequent Chemoresistance in Breast Cancer Stem-Like Cells Is Reversed by Aspirin

Investigators found in breast tumors that the expression of SMAR1 was decreased in cancer stem cells through the cooperative interaction of the pluripotency factors Oct4 and Sox2 with the histone deacetylase HDAC1.

Identification of BCL-XL as Highly Active Survival Factor and Promising Therapeutic Target in Colorectal Cancer

By RNA sequencing analysis of a pan-cancer cohort comprising >1500 patients and subsequent prediction of protein activity, BCL-XL was identified as the only antiapoptotic BCL-2 protein that was overactivated in colorectal cancer.

Elevated miR‐124‐3p in the Aging Colon Disrupts Mucus Barrier and Increases Susceptibility to Colitis by Targeting T‐Synthase

Investigators evaluated alterations in the colon mucus layer in 2‐, 16‐, and 24‐month‐old mice and aged humans. Aged colons showed defective intestinal mucosal barrier and changed mucus properties. The miR‐124‐3p expression level was significantly increased in the aged distal colonic mucosa, which was accompanied by an increase in pathogens and bacterial translocation. Meanwhile, T‐synthase, the rate‐limiting enzyme in O‐glycosylation, displayed an age‐related decline in protein expression.

SIRT1-Mediated Expression of CD24 and Epigenetic Suppression of Novel Tumor Suppressor miR-1185-1 Increases Colorectal Cancer Stemness

A novel miRNA, miR-1185-1, suppressed the expression of CD24 by targeting its 3’UTR and could be inhibited by SIRT1 via histone deacetylation. Targeting SIRT1 by RNA interference led to elevated H3K9 acetylation on the promoter region of miR-1185-1, which increased expression of miR-1185-1 and further repressed CD24 translation and colorectal cancer stemness.
