MiR-1253 has been reported to play vital roles in a variety of cancers. However, its function in the progression and prognosis of colon cancer remains unclear. Here, the clinical significance and biological function of miR-1253 in the development of colon cancer was investigated. The expression of miR-1253 was identified in colon cancer tissues and cell lines by qRT-PCR. The prognostic value of miR-1253 was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis. The roles of miR-1253 in regulating cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer were evaluated in vitro by CCK8 and Transwell assay. It was found that miR-1253 was significantly downregulated in colon cancer tissues and cell lines (P < 0.001). The downregulation of miR-1253 was associated with the TNM stage (P = 0.007) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.037) of patients. MiR-1253 (HR factor = 2.564, 95% CI = 1.077-6.107, P = 0.033) and TNM stage (HR factor = 2.899, 95% CI = 1.024-8.205, P = 0.045) were identified as independent factors that can predict the prognosis of patients. Functionally, miR-1253 acts as a tumor suppressor that inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer through targeting EZH2. MiR-1253 was identified as a prognostic biomarker and a tumor suppressor of colon cancer.

Proto-oncogene KRAS, GTPase (KRAS) is one of the most intensively studied oncogenes in cancer research. Although several mouse models allow for regulated expression of mutant KRAS, selective isolation and analysis of transforming or tumor cells that produce the KRAS oncogene remains a challenge. In our study, we present a knock-in model of oncogenic variant KRAS that enables the "activation" of KRAS expression together with production of red fluorescent protein tdTomato.

In this research, a series of novel hydrazone derivatives based on pyrazolopyridothiazinylacetohydrazide were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic potency on several human colon cancer cells (HTC116, HT-29, and LoVo). After MTT and SRB assays four of the most active derivatives: hydrazide GH and hydrazones GH7, GH8, and GH11, were chosen for further investigation. Hydrazone GH11 had the highest cytotoxic activity (IC50 values of c.

In this study, the structure of a new boron compound obtained using 3-methoxy catechol and 4-methoxy phenyl boronic acid was characterized by H, C NMR, LC-MS-IT-TOF, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopy. The antioxidant activities of the newly synthesized compound were evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging, ABTS quation radical scavenging and CUPRAC copper reducing capacity methods. Anticholinesterase activities were determined by acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase enzyme inhibitor assays.
