Recent investigations have suggested that long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MIR22HG is commonly dysregulated in multiple types of malignancies. Nevertheless, the role of these MIR22HG in human colorectal carcinoma (CRC) are not well explored. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and hybridization (ISH) assay were used to measure the expression of MIR22HG. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), flow cytometry, and migration, as well as invasion assays, were utilized to determine the roles of MIR22HG on growth, apoptosis, migration, and invasiveness of CRC cell. The expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin was measured using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry staining assay. CRC cell growth was analyzed using nude mice xenograft. The qPCR and ISH assay revealed that MIR22HG was downregulated in CRC sample compared with in normal tissue. MIR22HG was also significantly downexpressed in CRC cells compared with that in normal colonic epithelial cell line. Overexpression of MIR22HG inhibited the growth, migration ability, and invasiveness of CRC cell . In addition, MIR22HG suppressed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and induced the apoptosis of human CRC cell. Moreover, the authors demonstrated that MIR22HG inhibited the tumor growth of CRC cell and regulated the expression of EMT markers (E-cadherin and N-cadherin) . Altogether, these results imply that lncRNA MIR22HG restrained the aggressive phenotypes of CRC cell.

In this study, a novel inhibitor of ERCC1/XPF heterodimerization, A4, was used as an inhibitor of repair for DNA damage by platinum-based chemotherapeutics. Nano-formulations of A4 were developed, using self-assembly of the following block copolymers: methoxy-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(α-benzyl carboxylate-ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PBCL), methoxy-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL), or methoxy-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly (D, L, lactide) (PEO-b-PDLA 50-50). The nano-formulations were characterized for their average diameter, polydispersity, morphology, A4 encapsulation and in vitro release.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is currently the primary chemotherapeutic agent for CRC, but its efficacy is limited by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we present a combined approach of chemotherapy and TME modulation for CRC treatment.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly malignant and aggressive gastrointestinal tumor. Due to its weak immunogenicity and limited immune, cell infiltration lead to ineffective clinical outcomes. Therefore, to improve the current prophylaxis and treatment scheme, offering a favorable strategy efficient against CRC is urgently needed.

Resistance to radiotherapy remains a critical barrier in treating colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly in cases of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). To identify key kinases involved in CRC radioresistance, we employed a kinase-targeted CRISPR-Cas9 library screen. This approach aimed to identify potential kinase inhibitors as radiosensitizers.

Background: Bacterial toxins are emerging as promising hallmarks of colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. In particular, Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1 (CNF1) from E. coli deserves special consideration due to the significantly higher prevalence of this toxin gene in CRC patients with respect to healthy subjects, and to the numerous tumor-promoting effects that have been ascribed to the toxin in vitro.
