Rs1800734 (in MLH1 gene) was associated with colon cancer risk (p-value = 3.5 × 10<sup>-6</sup> ) and rs2189517 (in RAD51B) with rectal cancer risk (p-value = 5.7 × 10<sup>-6</sup> ).
The purpose of this study was to analyze the oncolytic and immunomodulatory functions of an M protein mutant of vesicular stomatitis virus (M51R VSV) in a murine model of peritoneal surface dissemination from colon cancer (PSD from CRC).
Predictors of reoperation were TNM IV (OR 5.06), surgical complications within 30 days (OR 1.98), and type and site of tumor (OR 1.72) in colon cancer and being male (OR 1.52), age (OR 1.80), stoma (OR 1.87), and surgical complications within 1 month (OR 1.95) in rectal cancer.
Together, the present data indicated that HMGCS1 may be a novel biomarker, and the combination of targeting HMGCS1 and MEK might be a promising therapeutic strategy for colon cancer patients.
To explore the effects and mechanisms of BMP1 on the EMT of colon cancer, a BMP1 overexpression plasmid vector was used to interfere with SW620 cells and real-time fluorescence quantitative RNA and western blotting were used to detect the effects of BMP1 on the transcription and translation of COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes, as well as EMT-related genes, including beta-catenin, vimentin, and E-cadherin (E-Cad) genes in SW620 cells.
We sought to further characterize the role of 5-HT and 5-HT receptors (5-HTRs) in the exacerbation of cell death following ionizing radiation exposure in human colon carcinoma cells.<b>Material and methods:</b> We examined the clonogenic survival of colon carcinoma HCT116 cells treated with 5-HT and the selective 5-HTR antagonists ketanserin (5-HT<sub>2A</sub>) and ondansetron (5-HT<sub>3</sub>), following exposure to direct ionizing radiation and irradiated cell conditioned medium (ICCM).
The only mouse model for sporadic CRC results from feeding mice a purified rodent western-style diet (NWD1), establishing mouse intake of several common nutrients that mimic for each its level consumed in western populations at higher risk for colon cancer (higher fat, lower vitamin D<sub>3</sub>, calcium, methyl donors and fiber).
Exosomes derived from LS174T and LSC human colon cancer cell lines were isolated from cell culture supernatant and pulled down using tetraspanin-specific antibody CD63 immunoaffinity magnetic beads.
The expression of β-catenin and STT3A/B in colon cancer tissues was initially detected by immunohistochemistry, followed by correlation analyses of the survival rate with the expression of β-catenin and STT3A/B as well as identification of the interaction between β-catenin and STT3A/B.
