IL-22 Promotes Mucin-Type O-Glycosylation and MATH1+ Cell-Mediated Amelioration of Intestinal Inflammation

[Cell Reports] By using a range of intestinal epithelial cell type-specific conditional knockout mice and a dextran sulfate sodium colitis model, the authors demonstrated that IL-22Ra1 signaling in MATH1+ cells (goblet and progenitor cells) was essential for maintaining the mucosal barrier and intestinal tissue regeneration.

Patient Tissue-Derived FGFR4-Variant and Wild-Type Colorectal Cancer Organoid Development and Anticancer Drug Sensitivity Testing

[Heliyon] Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4)-variant and wild-type colorectal cancer (CRC) organoids were developed to investigate the effects of FGFR4-targeted drugs on CRC and their possible molecular mechanism.

Metabolic Regulator ERRγ Governs Gastric Stem Cell Differentiation into Acid-Secreting Parietal Cells

[Cell Stem Cell] Using mouse models and human gastric cells, researchers identified the parietal cell progenitors arising from isthmal stem cells, and showed that they preferentially expressed cell-metabolism regulator and orphan nuclear receptor estrogen-related receptor gamma.

Protein Phosphatase 6 Activates NF-κB to Confer Sensitivity to MAPK Pathway Inhibitors in KRAS- and BRAF-Mutant Cancer Cells

[Science Signaling] To better understand the genetic pathways that modulate cancer cell sensitivity to Ras–mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibitors, scientists performed a CRISPR knockout screen with MAPK pathway inhibitors on a colorectal cancer cell line carrying mutant KRAS.

HTRA1 Interacts with SLC7A11 to Modulate Colorectal Cancer Chemosensitivity by Inhibiting Ferroptosis

[Cell Death Discovery] HtrA serine protease 1 (HTRA1) was screened out as a colorectal cancer (CRC) progression- and chemoresistance-related gene. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses demonstrated a stimulatory role of HTRA1 on the proliferation of CRC cells.

Neutrophil-Derived PAD4 Induces Citrullination of CKMT1 Exacerbates Mucosal Inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Scientists employed single-cell RNA sequencing and substrate citrullination mapping to decipher the role of peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) in intestinal inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease.

Mitochondrial Function and Gastrointestinal Diseases

[Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] The authors provide an overview of the current understanding of intestinal epithelial cell mitochondrial metabolism, function and signaling to affect tissue homeostasis, in addition to mitochondrial-targeted therapeutics for inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer.

Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling, Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Crosslink Signaling in Colorectal Cancer Cells

[Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] The authors summarize recent molecular studies on the role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling axis in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in colorectal cancer cells, which triggers metastatic pathogenesis.

Innovent Receives NMPA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for IBI343 (Anti-Claudin18.2 ADC) as Monotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer

[Innovent Biologics, Inc.] Innovent Biologics, Inc. announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation of China’s National Medical Products Administration has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for IBI343 as monotherapy for the treatment of claudin18.2-positive advanced gastric/gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma patients who have progressed after at least 2 lines of prior systematic treatments.

Cetuximab Inhibits Colorectal Cancer Development through Inactivating the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway and Modulating PLCB3 Expression

[Scientific Reports] Scientists investigated the influence of PLCB3, a potential colorectal cancer (CRC) oncogene, on cetuximab treatment. In vitro tests revealed that cetuximab exerted a cytotoxic effect on CRC cells, with PLCB3 knockdown inhibiting CRC cell progression.

Fusobacterium nucleatum Infection Modulates the Transcriptome and Epigenome of HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells in an Oxygen-Dependent Manner

[Communications Biology] Using a multiomic approach, researchers analyzed epigenomic alterations of H3K27ac and global transcriptomic alterations sustained within a hypoxia and normoxia conditioned colorectal cancer cell line at 24 h following initial infection with F. nucleatum.

Circ-0075305 Hinders Gastric Cancer Stem Cells by Indirectly Disrupting TCF4–β-Catenin Complex and Downregulation of SOX9

[Communications Biology] In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that overexpression of Circ-0075305 could effectively reduce stem cell-like properties and enhanced the sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to Oxaliplatin compared with the control group.
