AIE-75 has been known as a 75-kDa autoantigen detected in the serum of autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) and as a colon cancer-related antigen, and now designated as a gene causative of Usher syndrome type 1C hereditary syndromic hearing loss. It binds to a novel putative tumor suppressor MCC2 that is homologous to MCC (mutated in colon cancer) through a PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain. To clarify the functional role in colon cancer cells, we transfected AIE-75 gene into SW480 colon cancer cells which do not express AIE-75. Expression of AIE-75 suppressed growth of SW480 cells in vitro in correlation with the expression levels. It was due mainly to G2/M phase cell cycle arrest associated with mitotic slippage, resulting in emergence of hyperploid giant-nucleated or multi-nucleated cells. Screening of proteins that bound to PDZ domains of AIE-75 by a yeast two hybrid system showed that three serine/threonine phosphatase catalytic subunits (PP2AC-alpha, PP2AC-beta, and PPP6C) could bind to AIE-75. Since PP2AC is known to regulate G2/M checkpoint, we suggest that AIE-75 interacts with PP2AC and prevent cells to transit mitotic phase.

With the rapid development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, there remains considerable controversy regarding the choice of surgical approach and anastomosis method for patients with right-sded colon cancer (RSCC). This meta-analysis compared the short-term outcomes of open right colectomies (ORC), laparoscopic right colectomies with intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis (LRC-IA and LRC-EA), as well as robot right colectomies with intracorporeal and extracorporeal anastomosis (RRC-IA and RRC-EA). A systematic search was conducted across PubMed (n = 549), Web of Science (n = 821), Embase (n = 591), and the Cochrane Central Register (n = 86) from January 2000 to August 2024.

Background: Guidelines for some pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have shifted towards active surveillance given the indolent nature of this malignancy. We sought to assess the safety of delayed surgery on colorectal NETs as a surrogate for surveillance.

Methods: Resected, stage I, well-differentiated colorectal primary NETs included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program from 2010 to 2020 were included.

Patterns of lymph node metastasis and long-term outcomes of splenic flexure colon cancer: a descriptive study from a Japanese high-volume center.

Surg Today

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Cancer Institute Hospital, Japanese Foundation for Cancer Research, 3-8-31, Ariake, Koto-Ku, Tokyo, 135-8550, Japan.

Purpose: The pattern of lymph node metastasis and the appropriate extent of lymph node dissection in splenic flexure colon cancer remain unclear. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, lymph node metastasis patterns, and oncological outcomes of patients with splenic flexure colon cancer.

Methods: The data of patients with splenic flexure cancer diagnosed with pathological stages I-III were extracted from a hospital database.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and the third most common cancer overall. In this study, we investigate the anti-colon cancer potential of phytochemically, and thermally synthesised novel green carbon dots based on Rhododendron luteum (RL-CDs). A new synthesis method was used to produce carbon dots obtained from the Rhododendron luteum (RL) plant in an environmentally friendly manner.

RhoA and Rac1 as Mechanotransduction Mediators in Colorectal Cancer.

Queensland Micro- and Nanotechnology Centre, Nathan Campus, Griffith University, Brisbane, QLD, 4111, Australia.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, creating an urgent need for innovative diagnostic solutions. Mechanobiology, a cutting-edge field that investigates how physical forces influence cell behavior, is now revealing new insights into cancer progression. This research focuses on two crucial players: RhoA and Rac1, small yet powerful proteins that regulate the structure and movement of cancer cells.
