Several studies suggested the role of heme iron, but not non-heme iron in colorectal cancer. A network and system biology-based approach was used to understand the role of heme and non-heme iron on colorectal cancer etiology. Heme and non-heme iron targets were screened in addition to CRC targets. The protein-protein interaction map of both iron targets was prepared with CRC targets. Moreover, functional enrichment analysis was performed in order to understand their role in cancer etiology. The heme iron is predicted to modulate several cancer-associated pathways. Our results indicate several targets and pathways, including IL-4/IL-13, ACE, and HIF-1 signaling, that may have an important role in heme iron-mediated CRC and must be given consideration for understanding their role in colorectal cancer.

Impact of Perceived Discrimination and Pandemic Attitudes on Cancer Screening Behaviors Among Asian American Women: A Sequential Explanatory Mixed-Methods Study.

J Am Coll Radiol

December 2024

Vice Chair for Radiology, Department of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts; Co-Chair, RSNA Health Equity Committee; Associate Editor, Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess how pandemic-related health concerns and discrimination affected cancer screenings among Asian American women (AAW).

Methods: A two-phase explanatory mixed-methods study was conducted. In phase 1, a survey was distributed among AAW eligible for lung, breast, or colorectal cancer screening to assess delays during the pandemic, concerns about contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), barriers to care, and experiences of discrimination.

Rak jelita grubego (RJG) jest jednym z najczęściej rozpoznawanych nowotworów złośliwych: co roku notowane jest około 1,9 miliona nowych przypadków. Pomimo opracowania metod umożliwiających jego wykrywanie na początkowym etapie choroby i wprowadzenia nowych, skuteczniejszych terapii, RJG plasuje się na drugim miejscu wśród przyczyn zgonów wywołanych nowotworami. Wyniki najnowszych badań podkreślają rolę transporterów kwasów tłuszczowych, tj.

Recently, we demonstrated that the oncolytic Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) strain PD-H can be efficiently adapted to resistant colorectal cancer cells through dose-dependent passaging in colorectal cancer cells. However, the method is time-consuming, which limits its clinical applicability. Here, we investigated whether the manufacturing time of the adapted virus can be reduced by replacing the dose-based passaging with volume-based passaging.

Background/objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by a high rate of both incidence and mortality, and its treatment outcomes are often affected by recurrence and drug resistance. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent programmed cell death mechanism triggered by lipid peroxidation, has recently gained attention as a potential therapeutic target. Graphene oxide (GO), known for its oxygen-containing functional groups, biocompatibility, and potential for functionalization, holds promise in cancer treatment.

Background/objectives: KRT23 was recently discovered as an epithelial-specific intermediate filament protein in the type I keratin family. Many studies have underlined keratin's involvement in several biological processes as well as in the pathogenesis of different diseases. Specifically, KRT23 was reported to affect the structural integrity of epithelial cells and to trigger cellular signaling leading to the onset of cancer.
