Purpose: Mutations in ARID1A frequently occur in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. However, there are currently no clinical treatment options specifically addressing this aberration. The preliminary in vitro experiments revealed a synthetic lethal interaction between ARID1A and Aurora kinase A (AURKA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.

Methods: We collected samples from 80 CRC patients and evaluated the efficacy of AURKA inhibitor (AURKAi) using the ATP-tumor chemosensitivity assay (ATP-TCA) on untreated ARID1A-proficient (ARID1A +) and ARID1A-deficient (ARID1A-) CRC patient samples. In addition, we validated this result by a clonogenic assay. Additionally, we examined the effects of AURKA inhibitors on cell cycle progression and apoptosis in ARID1A + and ARID1A- CRC patient samples using flow cytometry.

Results: The results showed that AURKAi selectively inhibited the growth of ARID1A- CRC cells. Furthermore, AURKA inhibitors significantly increased G2/M arrest and induced apoptosis in ARID1A- cells.

Conclusion: We believe that AURKAi hold promise as potential therapeutics for ARID1A mutation colorectal cancer patients.

Metastasis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma has been associated with a poor prognosis. However, sensitive and reliable tests for monitoring their occurrence are unavailable, with the exception of PET-CT. Circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA have emerged as promising biomarkers for determining treatment efficacy and as prognostic predictors in solid tumors such as breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

Importance: Serial circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a routine surveillance strategy for patients with resected colorectal cancer, but how serial ctDNA monitoring is associated with potential curative outcomes has not been formally assessed.

Objective: To examine whether there is a benefit of adding serial ctDNA assays to standard-of-care imaging surveillance for potential curative outcomes in patients with resected colorectal cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this single-center (City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center, Duarte, California), retrospective, case cohort study, patients with stage II to IV colorectal cancer underwent curative resection and were monitored with serial ctDNA assay and National Cancer Center Network (NCCN)-guided imaging surveillance from September 20, 2019, to April 3, 2024.

This study aimed to investigate the expression, prognostic significance, methylation, and immune invasion levels of secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRP1-5) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, the relationship between SFRP1/2 methylation and immune infiltration in CRC was explored. The expression of SFRP1-5 was analyzed using several databases, including GEO, TCGA, TIMER, STRING, and GEPIA.
