Efficient Adsorption of Ionic Liquids in Water Using -SOH-Functionalized MIL-101(Cr): Adsorption Behavior and Mechanism.

With the increasing application of ionic liquids (ILs) in industrial areas, the removal of ILs from aqueous media has attracted considerable attention due to their potential environmental impact. In this study, we investigated the adsorption behavior and removal mechanism of ILs in water using the metal-organic framework material MIL-101(Cr) and its sulfonated derivative MIL-101(Cr)-SOH. It was observed that MIL-101(Cr)-SOH exhibited notably elevated adsorption capacity (1.

Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 15 regulates the TFAP4/PCGF1 axis facilitating liver metastasis of colorectal cancer and cell stemness.

The tumor recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) are responsible for most of CRC-linked mortalities. It is an urgent need to deeply investigate the pathogenesis of CRC metastasis and look for novel targets for its treatment. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 15 (USP-15) on the CRC progression.

Tumor budding and the prognosis of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: Tumor budding has been suggested to be associated with poor survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it is unclear whether the association remains in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC). The aim of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the potential predictive role of tumor budding for the prognosis of patients with mCRC.

Karyopherin Subunit Alpha 1 Enhances the Malignant Behaviors of Colon Cancer Cells via Promoting Nuclear Factor-κB p65 Nuclear Translocation.

Background/aims: Aberrant nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) nuclear import commonly occurs in multiple cancers, including colon cancer. According to BioGRID, we noted that Karyopherin subunit alpha 1 (KPNA1), an important molecular transporter between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, may interact with NF-κB p65. KPNA1 itself is highly expressed in colon adenocarcinoma samples (N = 286) based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

MORC4 plays a tumor-promoting role in colorectal cancer via regulating PCGF1/CDKN1A axis in vitro and in vivo.

MORC family CW-type zinc finger 4 (MORC4) possessing nuclear matrix binding domains has been observed to be involved in multiple cancer development. By digging three gene expression omnibus (GEO) gene microarrays (GSE110223, GSE110224 and GSE24514), we found that MORC4 was overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC) samples (log Fold change >1, p < 0.05).

Adeno-Associated Virus-Mediated Knockdown of Agmatinase Attenuates Inflammation and Tumorigenesis in a Mouse Model of Colitis-Associated Colorectal Cancer.

Agmatinase (AGMAT) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes agmatine to putrescine and urea. In this study, we explored the functions of AGMAT in colorectal cancer (CRC). By performing gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments, we investigated the roles of AGMAT in proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis of CRC cells.
