BACKGROUND: Although extensive efforts have been made to improve the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, the prognosis for these patients remains poor. A wide range of anti-cancer agents has been applied to ameliorate the clinical management of CRC patients; however, drug resistance develops in nearly all patients. Based on the prominent role of PI3K/AKT signaling in the development of CRC and current interest in the application of PI3K inhibitors, we aimed to disclose the exact mechanism underlying the efficacy of BKM120, a well-known pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, in CRC-derived SW480 cells...

BACKGROUND: There are some problems in the clinical diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), such as the difficulty in saving samples, so it is the most popular research work to develop a diagnostic index and method that is easy to obtain, convenient to save and stable. G-quadruplex (G4) is a unique structure found in DNA and it plays a crucial biological role in tumor formation. G4 is derived from DNA with good stability, and the DNA of serum samples is easy to obtain. Therefore, G4 has the potential as an ideal marker for CRC diagnosis...

Cell adhesion molecule close homolog of L1 (CHL1) is implicated in tumorigenesis of various malignancies.

In this contribution we report the synthesis, characterization and in vitro anticancer activity of novel cyclometalated 4-phenylthiazole-derived ruthenium(II) (2a-e) and osmium(II) (3a-e) complexes. Formation and sufficient purity of the complexes were unambigiously confirmed by 1 H-, 13 C- and 2D-NMR techniques, X-ray diffractometry, HRMS and elemental analysis. The binding preferences of these cyclometalates to selected amino acids and to DNA models including G-quadruplex structures were analyzed. Additionally, their stability and behaviour in aqueous solutions was determined by UV-Vis spectroscopy...

The peptide mimetic, NC114, is a promising anticancer compound that specifically kills colorectal cancer cells without affecting normal colon epithelial cells. In our previous study, we observed that NC114 inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, with significant downregulation of both Ser 675-phosphorylated β-catenin and its target genes, cyclin D1 and survivin. However, the molecular mechanism responsible for its cytotoxic effect has not yet been fully characterized. In the present study, we demonstrated that NC114 prevented cell cycle progression from S to G2/M phase by downregulating cell cycle-related gene expression, and also induced growth arrest in SW480 and HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells...

Amidst the global plastic pollution crisis, the gastrointestinal tract serves as the primary entry point for daily exposure to micro- and nanoplastics. We investigated the complex dynamics between polystyrene micro- and nanoplastics (PS-MNPs) and four distinct human colorectal cancer cell lines (HT29, HCT116, SW480, and SW620). Our findings revealed a significant size- and concentration dependent uptake of 0.25, 1, and 10 μm PS-MNPs across all cell lines, with HCT116 cells exhibiting the highest uptake rates...

The aberrant activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway is closely associated with the development of various carcinomas, especially colorectal cancers (CRCs), where adenomatous colorectal polyposis (APC) mutations are the most frequently observed, which limits the anti-tumor efficiency of inhibitors targeting the upstream of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The anti-tumor activity of the naturally occurring alkaloid cepharanthine (CEP) extracted from the plant Stephania cepharantha Hayata has been reported in various types of tumors...

OBJECTIVE: Numerous evidence has highlighted the differences between primary tumors and metastases. Nonetheless, the differences in exosomal proteins derived from primary tumor and metastases remain elusive. Here, we aimed to identify differentially expressed exosomal proteins from primary canine mammary gland tumor and metastases to understand how they shape their own tumor microenvironment. METHODS: We clearly distinguished primary canine mammary gland tumors (CHMp) from metastases (CHMm) and profiled the proteins within their secreted exosomes using LC-MS/MS...
