Objective: To study the effect of inhibitor of differentiation 3 (ID3) on radiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer and to explore its primary mechanism.
Methods: Cell proliferation and clonogenic assays were used to study the relationship between ID3 and radiosensitivity. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence were performed to analyze the possible mechanism of ID3 in the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer. At the same time, a xenograft tumor model of HCT116 cells in nude mice was established to study the effect of irradiation on the tumorigenesis of ID3 knockdown colorectal cancer cells in vivo. Immunohistochemistry was performed to analyze the relationship between ID3 expression and the efficacy of radiotherapy in 46 patients with rectal cancer.
Results: Proliferation and clonogenic assays revealed that the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells decreased with ID3 depletion through p53-independent pathway. With the decrease in ID3 expression, MDC1 was downregulated. Furthermore, the expression of ID3, MDC1, and γH2AX increased and formed foci after irradiation. ID3 interacted with PPARγ and form a positive feedback loop to enhance the effect of ID3 on the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer. Irradiation tests in nude mice also confirmed that HCT116 cells with ID3 knockdown were more affected by irradiation. Immunohistochemical study showed that rectal cancer patients with low expression of ID3 had better radiotherapy efficacy.
Conclusions: ID3 and PPARγ influence the radiosensitivity of colorectal cancer cells by interacting with MDC1 to form a positive feedback loop that promotes DNA damage repair. Patients with low expression of ID3 who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy can obtain a better curative effect.

Objectives: PD15, a novel natural steroidal saponin extracted from the rhizomes of Paris delavayi Franchet, has demonstrated a strong cytotoxic effect against HepG2 and U87MG cells. However, its therapeutic effects on colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: MTT assay, clonogenic assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, flow cytometry, molecular docking, and western blot were used to investigate the mechanism of PD15 in HCT116 cell lines.

To evaluate the use of yttrium-90 (Y90) dosimetry in predicting treatment outcomes when used following transarterial radioembolization with SIR-Spheres® (Resin Y90) in patients with hepatic tumors. This single institution retrospective analysis included 100 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma or other liver metastases who underwent transarterial radioembolization with resin Y90 and had imaging follow-up within one year of treatment. Mean tumor dose and mean dose to nontumor was calculated using voxel-based dosimetry software.

Purpose: Identifying therapeutic targets for Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma (SRCC) of the colon and rectum is a clinical challenge due to the lack of Patient-Derived Organoids (PDO) or Xenografts (PDX). We present a robust method to establish PDO and PDX models to answer address this unmet need. We demonstrate that these models identify novel therapeutic strategies targeting therapy resistance and peritoneal metastasis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. While immunotherapeutic approaches are effective in a subset of CRC patients, the majority of CRC cases receive limited benefits from immunotherapy. This study developed an immune subtype classification system based on diverse immune cells and pathways.
