Recent data support the role of S100A10 in tumorigenesis. In this study, we evaluated the value of S100A10 positivity as a possible biomarker in colorectal cancer. We evaluated S100A10 positivity by immunohistochemistry in a large population of colorectal cancer patients (n = 882). The relationships between S100A10 positivity and clinicopathological features and clinical outcome were analyzed. There were 36 % (319/882) tumors positive for S100A10 in all colorectal cancer samples. In contrast, normal colorectal epithelium was negative for S100A10 among all 562 specimens of adjacent normal mucosa. S100A10 positivity was correlated with poor differentiation (p = 0.0012) and disease stage (p = 0.003). S100A10 positivity was significantly correlated with shortened specific [log-rank p < 0.001; multivariate hazard ratio (HR), 1.49; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-2.04] and overall survival (log-rank p = 0.0012; multivariate HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.06-1.73). Knockdown of S100A10 by siRNA significantly reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of colorectal cancer cell lines. Our results suggest a role for S100A10 as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target in colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Capecitabine is a chemotherapeutic agent commonly used for the treatment of colon cancer. To realize local sustained release, promote efficient local intracellular transport, and mitigate the systemic toxic effects of capecitabine, a capecitabine prodrug, capecitabine-poly (p-dioxanone) (Cap-PPDO), was successfully synthesized.

Metabolic reprogramming plays a crucial role in cancer biology and the mechanisms underlying its regulation represent a promising study area. In this regard, the discovery of non-coding RNAs opened a new regulatory landscape, which is in the early stages of investigation. Using a differential expression model of HOTAIR, we evaluated the expression level of metabolic enzymes, as well as the metabolites produced by glycolysis and glutaminolysis.

Although every cell biologist knows the importance of selecting the right growth conditions and it is well known that the composition of growth medium may vary depending on a product brand or lot affecting many cellular processes, still those effects are poorly systematized. We addressed this issue by comparing the effect of 12 fetal bovine sera (FBS) and eight growth media from different brands on the morphological and functional parameters of five cell types: lung adenocarcinoma, neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, embryonic kidney, and colorectal cancer cells. Using high-throughput imaging, we compared cell proliferation; performed morphological profiling based on the imaging of 561,519 cells; measured extracellular regulated kinases (ERK1/2) activity, mitochondria potential, and lysosome accumulation; and compared cell sensitivity to drugs, response to EGF stimulation, and ability to differentiate.
