The efficacy of Fluorouracil (FU) in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is greatly limited by drug resistance. Autophagy has been implicated in chemoresistance, but the role of selective autophagic degradation in regulating chemoresistance remains unknown. In this study, we revealed a critical role of ABHD5 in charging CRC sensitivity to FU via regulating autophagic uracil yield. We demonstrated that ABHD5 localizes to lysosome and interacts with PDIA5 to prevent PDIA5 from interacting with RNASET2 and inactivating RNASET2. ABHD5 deficiency releases PDIA5 to directly interact with RNASET2 and leave RNASET2 in an inactivate state, which impairs RNASET2-mediated autophagic uracil yield and promotes CRC cells to uptake FU as an exogenous uracil, thus increasing their sensitivity to FU. Our findings for the first time reveal a novel role of ABHD5 in regulating lysosome function, highlighting the significance of ABHD5 as a compelling biomarker predicting the sensitivity of CRCs to FU-based chemotherapy.

NIT2 dampens BRD1 phase separation and restrains oxidative phosphorylation to enhance chemosensitivity in gastric cancer.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510080, China.
Article Synopsis
- 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in gastric cancer is linked to low levels of the nitrilase family member 2 (NIT2), which plays a crucial role in overcoming this resistance through mechanisms unrelated to its metabolic functions.
- The study revealed that NIT2 interacts with BRD1, inhibiting harmful gene expression related to cellular energy production, leading to enhanced sensitivity to 5-FU treatment.
- Additionally, NIT2's presence is associated with better patient prognosis, and targeting oxidative phosphorylation with metformin can further improve the effectiveness of 5-FU in patients with low NIT2 levels.

Introduction: High-alkalinity water is a serious health hazard for fish and can cause oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation in fish livers. However, the molecular mechanism of liver damage caused by high alkalinity in fish is unclear.
Methods: In this study, 180 carp were randomly divided into a control (C) group and a high-alkalinity (A25) group and were cultured for 56 days.
Chloramphenicol alleviates 5-fluorouracil-induced cellular senescence through activation of autophagy.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a first-line treatment for colorectal cancer, but side effects such as severe diarrhea are common in clinical use and have been linked to its induction of normal cell senescence. Chloramphenicol (CAP) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat typhoid or anaerobic infections, but its senescence-related aspects have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we used 5-FU to induce senescence in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and investigated the relationship between CAP and cellular senescence at the cellular level.

Article Synopsis
- Colon cancer is a significant health issue in industrialized countries, with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) often causing side effects and resistance in treatment.
- Recent research has explored using HO-1 inhibitors in combination with 5-FU, showing potential effectiveness against cancer cells.
- The study found that specific drug hybrids (SI1/22) outperform 5-FU in colon cancer by enhancing ROS levels and promoting cell death through apoptosis and autophagy.
