Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance remains a major challenge in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it is crucial to develop novel strategies to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy. Here, the fringe family is screened to determine their contribution to chemotherapy resistance in CRC. It is found that RFNG depletion significantly sensitizes cancer cells to oxaliplatin treatment. Mechanistically, chemotherapy-activated MAPK signaling induces ERK to phosphorylate RFNG Ser255 residue. Phosphorylated RFNG S255 (pS255) interacts with the nuclear importin proteins KPNA1/importin-α1 and KPNB1/importin-β1, leading to its translocation into the nucleus where it targets p53 and inhibits its phosphorylation by competitively inhibiting the binding of CHK2 to p53. Consequently, the expression of CDKN1A is decreased and that of SLC7A11 is increased, leading to the inhibition of apoptosis and ferroptosis. In contrast, phosphor-deficient RFNG S225A mutant showed increased apoptosis and ferroptosis, and exhibited a notable response to oxaliplatin chemotherapy both in vitro and in vivo. It is further revealed that patients with low RFNG pS255 exhibited significant sensitivity to oxaliplatin in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model. These findings highlight the crosstalk between the MAPK and p53 signaling pathways through RFNG, which mediates oxaliplatin resistance in CRC. Additionally, this study provides guidance for oxaliplatin treatment of CRC patients.

Racial disparities in colorectal cancer outcomes and access to care: a multi-cohort analysis. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1414361. [PMID: 38962767 PMCID: PMC11220245 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1414361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) Americans have a higher incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) and worse survival than non-Hispanic white (NHW) Americans, but the relative contributions of biological versus access to care remain poorly characterized. This study used two nationwide cohorts in different healthcare contexts to study health system effects on this disparity. Methods We used data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry as well as the United States Veterans Health Administration (VA) to identify adults diagnosed with colorectal cancer between 2010 and 2020 who identified as non-Hispanic Black (NHB) or non-Hispanic white (NHW). Stratified survival analyses were performed using a primary endpoint of overall survival, and sensitivity analyses were performed using cancer-specific survival. Results We identified 263,893 CRC patients in the SEER registry (36,662 (14%) NHB; 226,271 (86%) NHW) and 24,375 VA patients (4,860 (20%) NHB; 19,515 (80%) NHW). In the SEER registry, NHB patients had worse OS than NHW patients: median OS of 57 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 55-58) versus 72 months (95% CI 71-73) (hazard ratio (HR) 1.14, 95% CI 1.12-1.15, p = 0.001). In contrast, VA NHB median OS was 65 months (95% CI 62-69) versus NHW 69 months (95% CI 97-71) (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.98-1.07, p = 0.375). There was significant interaction in the SEER registry between race and Medicare age eligibility (p < 0.001); NHB race had more effect in patients <65 years old (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.39-1.49, p < 0.001) than in those ≥65 (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.11-1.15, p < 0.001). In the VA, age stratification was not significant (p = 0.21). Discussion Racial disparities in CRC survival in the general US population are significantly attenuated in Medicare-aged patients. This pattern is not present in the VA, suggesting that access to care may be an important component of racial disparities in this disease.

Abstract
Tendon and ligament injuries account for a substantial proportion of disorders in the musculoskeletal system. While non-operative and operative treatment strategies have advanced, the restoration of native tendon and ligament structures after injury is still challenging due to its innate limited regenerative ability. Cell sheet technology is an innovative tool for tissue fabrication and cell transplantation in regenerative medicine. In this review, we first summarize different harvesting procedures and advantages of cell sheet technology, which preserves intact cell-to-cell connections and extracellular matrix. We then describe the recent progress of cell sheet technology from preclinical studies, focusing on the application of stem cell-derived sheets in treating tendon and ligament injuries, as well as highlighting its effects on mitigating inflammation and promoting tendon/graft-bone interface healing. Finally, we discuss several prerequisites for future clinical translation including the selection of appropriate cell source, optimization of preparation process, establishment of suitable animal model, and the fabrication of vascularized complex tissue. We believe this review could potentially provoke new ideas and drive the development of more functional biomimetic tissues using cell sheet technology to meet the needs of clinical patients.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Although initially effective, patients who receive chemotherapy ultimately experience various complications and develop chemo-resistance, leading to cancer recurrence. Therefore, we aimed to find a drug with good efficacy and low toxicity that could enhance the treatment with 5-Fluorouracil (a commonly used clinical drug) and reduce its dosing. Corilagin, an anti-tumor natural product, has received widespread attention. Glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) is overexpressed in colorectal cancer cells and plays a key role in the proliferation, migration and drug resistance of cancer cells. Importantly, GRP78 can affect the apoptosis induced by 5-fluorouracil in CRC cells. In the present study, we determined the synergistic anti-tumor activity of the combination treatment by cell proliferation assay, apoptosis assay, fluorescent staining, cell cycle analysis, WB and PCR assays. This synergistic effect was associated with S-phase blockade, intracellular reactive oxygen species production and downregulation of GRP78. Taken together, our results indicate that Corilagin acts as a potentiator of 5-fluorouracil and may have therapeutic potential for patients with CRC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is a lethal disease and the diagnosis in the young population is a major challenge from both individual and social point of views. Early-onset GC accounts for ∼5% of GC; among them, 3% are part of a hereditary syndrome and the majority are sporadic. However, even if the early-onset forms were less frequent in the past, the increasing number in the last decades has improved the interest and awareness of them in the society and in the scientific community. In particular, the different behaviour and characteristics of early-onset GC suggest that it is a completely different entity, which requires a tailored and personalized management. Here we provide an updated overview about non-hereditary early-onset GC, which is an unmet clinical need today, along with future perspectives in this field.
