The adhesion mediated drug resistance in cancer cells resulted from adhesion of the extracellular matrix is a major cause for multidrug resistance (MDR) and leads chemotherapeutic failure for colon cancer. In this study, we explored the role of 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR) in chemotherapeutic drug resistance in colon cancer cells. SiRNA-mediated knockdown of 67LR decreased the cell adhesion when laminins were applied. Moreover, 67LR knockdown increased the expression of pro-apoptotic gene Bax but inhibited the expression of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2. Enhanced apoptosis was observed in 67LR siRNA-transfected SW480 cell when the cell was treated with doxorubicin for apoptosis induction. Furthermore, MTT assay revealed that the IC50 of chemotherapeutic toward SW480 cell adhesion to laminins was reduced after 67LR knockdown, indicating there was a significant increase of drug sensitivity in SW480 cell. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that 67LR plays a considerable role in the development of colon cancer MDR.

Objective: To explore the relationship and underlying mechanisms between vitamin D and CRC, offering valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of CRC.
Materials And Methods: Serum levels of 1,25(OH)D were measured using a double-antibody sandwich assay. Bioinformatics analysis identified vitamin D-related CRC genes, which were validated using HCT116 and HT29 cell lines.
The association between controlling nutritional status and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with colorectal cancer.

Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) significantly impact surgical outcomes, and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, a simple and easily available nutritional score, has been demonstrated to be significantly associated with postoperative patient outcomes and complications, including PPCs. However, there are few studies that specifically focus on patients undergoing radical surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 2,553 patients who underwent radical surgery for CRC at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based immune cell therapies attack neighboring cancer cells after receptor recognition but are unable to directly affect distant tumor cells. This limitation may contribute to their inefficiency in treating solid tumors, given the restricted intratumoral infiltration and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Therefore, cell-cell fusion as a cell-killing mechanism might develop a novel cytotherapy aimed at improving the efficacy against solid tumors.

Objective: To elucidate the metabolic mechanisms by which acteoside (ACT) isolated from alleviates cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in a murine model of colon cancer with cachexia.
Methods: BALB/c mice inoculated with C26 colon cancer cells were treated with paclitaxel (PTX, 10 mg/kg) and ACT (100 mg/kg) alone or in combination for 21 days. Fatigue-associated behaviors, tumor inhibition rate, and skeletal muscle morphology assessed by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and electron microscopy were evaluated.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a non-specific inflammatory disease of digestive tract, primarily manifesting as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). The precise etiology of IBD remains elusive. The interplay of genetic factors, environmental influences, and intestinal microbiota contributes to the establishment of an uncontrolled immune environment within the intestine, which can progressively lead to atypical hyperplasia and ultimately to malignancy over a long period.
