Inhibits Proliferation and Growth of SW620 Colon Cancer Cells by Cell Cycle and Differentiation Pathways.

The aim of this study is to explore the mechanism by which regulates the proliferation and growth of colon cancer cells, and it relates to the metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Various techniques including western blot, CCK8, qRT-PCR, RNA seq assay, plate cloning, subcutaneous tumorigenesis assays, and bioinformatics tools were employed to identify genes that were upregulated or downregulated upon knockdown and their involvement in tumor cell proliferation and growth. The expression of ARHGAP4 in T and M stages of CRC uses immunohistochemistry.

Urban vs. rural: colorectal cancer survival and prognostic disparities from 2000 to 2019.

This study aimed to analyze the differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) survival between urban and rural areas over the past 20 years, as well as investigate potential prognostic factors for CRC survival in both populations. Using registry data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) from 2000 to 2019, 463,827 CRC cases were identified, with 85.8% in urban and 14.

Analysis of ARHGAP4 Expression With Colorectal Cancer Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis.

Background: This study aims to analyze the correlation between ARHGAP4 in the expression and clinical characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC), and the influence of ARHGAP4 expression on the prognosis of CRC, and to evaluate whether ARHGAP4 is a potential prognostic oncotarget for CRC.

Methods: ARHGAP4 was identified using the Gene Expression Omnibus database through weighted gene coexpression network analysis. Using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis to perform and analyze the expression and prognosis of ARHGAP4 in CRC.

Preoperative Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, and CEA as the Potential Prognostic Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer.

Background: This study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and to identify the potential and easily accessible prognostic biomarkers for CRC.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed altogether the records of 330 CRC patients according to inclusion criteria. The clinical characteristics include age at diagnosis, body mass index (BMI), preoperative CEA level, neutrophil , lymphocyte, and platelet count, tumor primary site and size, clinical pathological TNM stage, and survival status were recorded through the review of medical records.
