Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common malignant tumor occurred in digestive system. However, the prognosis of CRC patients is poor. Therefore, it is urgent to illuminate the mechanism suppressing CRC and explore novel targets or therapies for CRC treatment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs with a length of 20-23 nucleotides encoded by endogenous genes, which are associated with the development of a variety of cancers, including CRC. Studies have shown that miR-19a is identified as oncogenic miRNA and promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of CRC cells. However, the relationship between miR-19a and ferroptosis in CRC remains unknown. Here, we reported that iron-responsive element-binding protein 2 (IREB2), as an inducer of ferroptosis, was negatively regulated by miR-19a. IREB2 is a direct target of miR-19a. In addition, ferroptosis was suppressed by miR-19a through inhibiting IREB2. Thus, we proposed a novel mechanism of ferroptosis mediated by miR-19a in CRC cells, which could give rise to a new strategy for the therapy of CRC.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The gut microbiota, along with adenomatous polyps (AP), has emerged as a plausible contributor to CRC progression. This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of the FadA antigen derived from Fusobacterium nucleatum on the expression levels of the ANXA2 ceRNA network and assess its relevance to CRC advancement.

The transcriptomic classification of primary colorectal cancer (CRC) into distinct consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs) is a well-described strategy for patient stratification. However, the molecular nature of CRC metastases remains poorly investigated. To this end, this study aimed to identify and compare organotropic CMS frequencies in CRC liver and brain metastases.

Reflectance spectral imaging is a powerful tool for the non-invasive study of cultural heritage objects. Particular visible to short wave infrared (400-2500 nm) spectral features are linked to compositional information. Spectral images can hence be used to generate useful chemical maps.

Background: Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF; a recessive disorder) have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Evidence suggests individuals with a single CFTR variant may also have increased CRC risk.

Methods: Using population-based studies (GECCO, CORECT, CCFR, and ARIC; 53 785 CRC cases and 58 010 controls), we tested for an association between the most common CFTR variant (Phe508del) and CRC risk.

The pro-tumor effects of mast cell (MC) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are becoming increasingly clear. Recently, MC were shown to contribute to tumor malignancy by supporting the migration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), suggesting a relationship with tumor immunity. In the current study, we aimed to examine the correlation between MC infiltration and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) response for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).
