Endogenous microRNAs (miRNA) in tumors are currently under exhaustive investigation as potential therapeutic agents for cancer treatment. Nevertheless, RNase degradation, inefficient and untargeted delivery, limited biological effect, and currently unclear side effects remain unsettled issues that frustrate clinical application. To address this, a versatile targeted delivery system for multiple therapeutic and diagnostic agents should be adapted for miRNA. In this study, we developed membrane-coated PLGA-b-PEG DC-chol nanoparticles (m-PPDCNPs) co-encapsulating doxorubicin (Dox) and miRNA-190-Cy7. Such a system showed low biotoxicity, high loading efficiency, and superior targeting ability. Systematic delivery of m-PPDCNPs in mouse models showed exceptionally specific tumor accumulation. Sustained release of miR-190 inhibited tumor angiogenesis, tumor growth, and migration by regulating a large group of angiogenic effectors. Moreover, m-PPDCNPs also enhanced the sensitivity of Dox by suppressing TGF-β signal in colorectal cancer cell lines and mouse models. Together, our results demonstrate a stimulating and promising m-PPDCNPs nanoplatform for colorectal cancer theranostics.

Background: The efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) + bevacizumab compared to FTD/TPI for treatment of refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) was demonstrated in the SUNLIGHT trial. This analysis of SUNLIGHT investigated the impact of treatment with FTD/TPI + bevacizumab on patient quality of life (QoL) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS).
Methods: Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D-5L) and ECOG PS assessments were conducted at baseline and on Day 1 of each treatment cycle.

A series of isatin derivatives which could inhibit colorectal cancer (CRC) were synthesized. Among those compounds, 5B exhibited good inhibitory activity of CRC through the inhibition of tubulin expression, inducing apoptosis, and causing G2/M phase cell cycle arrest pathway, which suggested that 5B could be a potential tubulin inhibitor. Based on that, a novel peptide-drug conjugate (PDC), which employed the CRC cells related receptor CD44 ligand peptide A6 coupling to 5B to accomplish A6-5B.

Background: SET domain-containing protein 4 (SETD4) is a histone methyltransferase that has been shown to modulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and inflammatory responses by regulating histone H4 trimethylation (H4K20me3). Previous reports have demonstrated its function in the quiescence of cancer stem cells as well as drug resistance in several cancers. A limited number of systematic studies have examined SETD4's role in the tumor microenvironment, pathogenesis, prognosis, and therapeutic response.

Background: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been shown to have associations with several diseases including cancers. Previous studies have investigated the effect of GGT levels on the gastrointestinal (GI) cancer incidence. We aim to systematically investigate these studies to provide better insights into the interrelationship between GGT and GI cancers.
