Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most prevalent cancer globally, and about half of CRC patients eventually succumb to tumor metastasis. Despite this, treatment options for metastatic colon cancer remain severely limited, reflected by a 12% 5-year overall survival rate. Increasing evidence suggests that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are pivotal in driving CRC metastasis.

This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which the intestinal microbiota and microRNAs (miRNAs) participate in colon cancer metastasis. Intestinal flora data, and the GSE29621 (messenger RNA/long non-coding RNA [mRNA/lncRNA]) and GSE29622 (miRNA) datasets, were downloaded from The Cancer Gene Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases, respectively. Immune-related cells in M1 vs.

Tofacitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor and can block the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription signal transduction pathway and reduce the production and release of a variety of cytokines. It has great potential in the treatment of various rheumatic diseases with a rapid onset of action and can reduce corticosteroid dependence and related adverse events. The therapeutic effect of tofacitinib in adult patients has been confirmed, and it has been increasingly used in pediatric patients in recent years.
