Objective To investigate the effect of miR-107 on the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells. Methods The expression of miR-107 was detected in colorectal cancer tissues and colorectal cancer cell lines by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). miR-107 expression was up-regulated and down-regulated by the transfection of miR-107 mimic and miR-107 inhibitor in HT29 cells, respectively. The effect of miR-107 on the proliferation of HT29 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. The tumorigenic ability of HT29 cells was detected by soft-agar colony formation assay and nude mouse tumorigenic assay. The expression of cyclin D1 in HT29 cells was tested by Western blot analysis. Results The expression of miR-107 was significantly up-regulated in both colorectal cancer tissues and cells. Overexpression of miR-107 promoted the proliferation and tumorigenicity of HT29 cells, while the decrease of miR-107 expression inhibited the proliferation and tumorigenicity of HT29 cells. Overexpression of miR-107 up-regulated the expression of cyclin D1 in HT29 cells. Conclusion Overexpression of miR-107 in both colon cancer tissues and cells promotes the proliferation and tumor formation potential of HT29 cells via up-regulating cyclin D1 expression.

Three stable oxidovanadium(IV) [VOL] complexes (1-3) were synthesized through the incorporation of unsymmetrical salen ligands (HL). All the ligands are synthesized, and their vanadium compounds were thoroughly characterized by CHNS analysis, various spectroscopy methods (IR, UV-Vis, NMR spectroscopy), and HR-ESI-MS. The structures of 1-3 were validated through the single-crystal X-ray analysis.

This study aims to develop a thermoresponsive biomaterial system of irinotecan (IRT) and curcumin (CUR) nano-transferosomal gel (IRT-CUR-NTG) for targeting colorectal cancer (CRC). The IRT-CUR-NTs were statistically optimized and loaded into poloxamer-based thermosensitive gel. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of the IRT-CUR-NTs were performed, whereas pH, gelation time, gelation temperature, gel and mucoadhesive strength of the IRT-CUR-NTG were investigated.

One of the most significant challenges for image-guided cancer-targeted therapy is to develop multifunctional optical contrast agents enabling simultaneous targeting and therapy. Herein, a feasible strategy is based on the incorporation of therapeutic moieties into the non-delocalized structure of polymethine indocyanines, known as the "structure-inherent targeting" concept. By possessing a rigid chloro-cyclohexenyl ring in the heptamethine cyanine backbone, a new type of multifunctional near-infrared fluorescent dye, Ph790H, that targets tumor without the need for additional targeting ligands is synthesized.

Background: The consumption of ultra-processed foods has increased significantly worldwide and is associated with the rise in inflammatory bowel diseases. However, any causative factors and their underlying mechanisms are yet to be identified. This study aimed to further elucidate whether different types of the dietary emulsifier carrageenan (CGN) can alter the permeability and inflammatory state of the intestinal epithelium.
