Article Abstract

The present study was undertaken to determine the response of colon mucosa implanted into the fundus of stomach in 6-week old male F344 rats to oral administration of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Samples of colonic tissue about 8 mm in diameter were obtained from various colon sites and surgically implanted into the anterior wall of the fundus by isografting. MNNG was chronically administered at a concentration of 100 mg/l in the drinking water for 16 weeks starting 4 weeks after the operation and the grafted colon mucosa was examined at 12 months after the operation. Control rats received a sham-operation and the same amount of MNNG. In the MNNG administered groups, only one adenoma containing Paneth cells was noted in the implanted colon tissue whereas over 40% incidence of gastric tumors was observed in the pyloric mucosa. In the operated rats not given MNNG no gastric tumors were observed in either the grafted site or the pylorus.

Background: Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a calcium-permeable non-selective cation channel, has been implicated in various cancers, including COAD. This study investigates the role of TRPV4 in colon adenocarcinoma and elucidates its potential mechanism via the ferroptosis pathway.

Aberrant sialylated glycosylation in the tumor microenvironment is a novel immune suppression pathway, which has garnered significant attention as a targetable glycoimmune checkpoint for cancer immunotherapy to address the dilemma of existing therapies. However, rational drug design and in-depth mechanistic studies are urgently required for tumor sialic acid to become valuable glycoimmune targets. In this study, we explored the positive correlation of PD-L1 and sialyltransferase expression in clinical colorectal cancer tissues and identified their mutual regulation effects in macrophages.

Granulosa tumors are rare tumors arising from the cells of the sexual cord and stroma of the ovary. They account for 5% of ovarian cancers and 70% of stromal cancers of the sex cords. Retroperitoneal tumors (RPTs) are also rare and develop in the retroperitoneal and subperitoneal space.

Aim: Tissue clearance is a rapidly evolving technology that allows for the three-dimensional imaging of intact biological tissues. Preexisting tissue-clearing techniques, such as Passive Clarity Technique (PACT) and Clear Unobstructed Brain Imaging Cocktails and Computational Analysis (CUBIC), clear tissues adequately but have distinct disadvantages, such as taking extensive time to clear tissues and degradation of endogenous tissue fluorescence. We developed a new tissue-clearing technique combining PACT and CUBIC protocols to map the neural lineages expressing the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor.
