Oxaliplatin resistance limits the efficiency of treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC). Studies have shown that abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) were associated with tumorigenesis, cancer development and chemoresistance. The purpose of this study was to identify potential miRNAs related to oxaliplatin resistance in CRC cells. In this work, using small RNA sequencing (small RNA-Seq) and transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq), we found that down-regulated miR-483-3p was concurrent with up-regulated FAM171B in oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal cancer cell line HCT116/L as compared with its parental cell line HCT116. Transient transfection of miR-483-3p mimics markedly decreased the levels of FAM171B and restored oxaliplatin responsiveness of HCT116/L cells, and this alteration enhanced cell apoptosis and weakened cell migration. Whereas miR-483-3p inhibitor dramatically promoted the expression of FAM171B and enhanced oxaliplatin resistance of HCT116 cells by repressing cell apoptosis. Furthermore, knockdown of FAM171B in HCT116/L cells could also sensitize its reaction of the treatment with oxaliplatin, which was verified by the reduced cell migration. These findings demonstrate that FAM171B is a functional target of miR-483-3p in the regulation of oxaliplatin resistance in human CRC cells.

Aims: Chemoresistance results in poor outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC). This study aims to identify oxaliplatin resistance-related cell subpopulations in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and decipher the involved molecular mechanisms.

Methods: Through single-cell RNA sequencing, a unique ONECUT2TFPI GC cell subset was identified in the oxaliplatin-resistant TME.

In the tumour microenvironment, IL-1α promotes neoangiogenesis, matrix remodelling, tumour proliferation, chemoresistance, and metastases. Highly expressed in human colorectal cancers, IL-1α is associated with poor prognosis. XB2001, a fully human monoclonal antibody neutralizing IL-1α, was evaluated for safety and preliminary efficacy with trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) and bevacizumab in metastatic colorectal cancer patients previously treated with oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapies.

Background: The aim of the study is to assess whether transcatheter rectal arterial chemoembolization (TRACE) with oxaliplatin could increase the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and improve survival outcomes, while minimizing adverse events compared to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) alone.

Methods: Eligible LARC patients who received TRACE with oxaliplatin plus chemoradiotherapy (the NATRACE-CRT group) or preoperative CRT alone (the NA-CRT group) were retrospectively selected from the database of our institution. Pathological results, treatment-related adverse events and survival in the two groups were compared.

Oxaliplatin (OXA), a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, remains a mainstay in first-line treatments for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the eventual development of OXA resistance represents a significant clinical challenge. In the present study, we demonstrate that the aldo-keto reductase 1C1 (AKR1C1) is overexpressed in CRC cells upon acquisition of OXA resistance, evident in OXA-resistant CRC cell lines.

Platinum chemotherapy is part of every second anticancer treatment regimen. However, its application is limited by severe side effects and drug resistance. The combination of platinum-based chemotherapeutics with EGFR inhibitors has shown remarkable synergism in clinical treatment.
