Abstract
Despite recent advancements, the high mortality rate remains a concern in colon cancer (CAC). Identification of therapeutic markers could prove to be a great asset in CAC management. Multiple studies have reported hyperactivation of de novo lipogenesis (DNL), but its association with the pathology is unclear. This study aims to establish the importance as well as the prognostic and therapeutic potential of DNL in CAC. The key lipogenic enzymes fatty acid synthase along with ATP citrate lyase were quantified using an LC-MS/MS-based targeted proteomics approach in the samples along with the matched controls. The potential capacity of the proteins to distinguish between the tumor and controls was demonstrated using random forest-based class prediction analysis using the peptide intensities. Furthermore, in-depth proteomics of DNL inhibition in the CAC cell line revealed the significance of the pathway in proliferation and metastasis. DNL inhibition affected the major signaling pathways, including DNA repair, PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, membrane trafficking, proteasome, etc. The study revealed the upregulation of 26S proteasome machinery as a result of the treatment with subsequent induction of apoptosis. Again, in silico molecular docking-based drug repurposing was performed to find potential drug candidates. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that blocking DNL could be explored as a therapeutic option in CAC treatment.

A protein microarray-based serum proteomic investigation reveals distinct autoantibody signature in colorectal cancer. Proteomics Clin Appl 2023; 17:e2200062. [PMID: 36408811 DOI: 10.1002/prca.202200062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) has been reported as the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The 5-year annual survival is around 50%, mainly due to late diagnosis, striking necessity for early detection. This study aims to identify autoantibody in patients' sera for early screening of cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The study used a high-density human proteome array with approximately 17,000 recombinant proteins. Screening of sera from healthy individuals, CRC from Indian origin, and CRC from middle-east Asia origin were performed. Bio-statistical analysis was performed to identify significant autoantibodies altered. Pathway analysis was performed to explore the underlying mechanism of the disease. RESULTS The comprehensive proteomic analysis revealed dysregulation of 15 panels of proteins including CORO7, KCNAB1, WRAP53, NDUFS6, KRT30, and COLGALT2. Further biological pathway analysis for the top dysregulated autoantigenic proteins revealed perturbation in important biological pathways such as ECM degradation and cytoskeletal remodeling etc. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The generation of an autoimmune response against cancer-linked pathways could be linked to the screening of the disease. The process of immune surveillance can be detected at an early stage of cancer. Moreover, AAbs can be easily extracted from blood serum through the least invasive test for disease screening.

World J Gastrointest Oncol 2022; 14:2353-2366. [PMID: 36568946 PMCID: PMC9782623 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v14.i12.2353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mounting studies have highlighted the pivotal influence of anti-silencing function 1B (ASF1B) on the malignancy of cancers.
AIM To explore the influence and mechanism of ASF1B in colorectal cancer (CRC).
METHODS Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect mRNA expression of ASF1B. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect protein expression of ASF1B and Ki67 in tumor tissues. Western blot analysis was used to determine levels of ASF1B and proliferation/epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)/stemness-related proteins. In addition, the proliferation of CRC cells was assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 and 5-Ethynyl-2’-Deoxyuridine assays. The migration and invasion of CRC cells were evaluated using transwell assays. Stemness of CRC cells was tested using the sphere formation assay. To construct a xenograft tumor model, HCT116 cells were introduced into mouse flanks via subcutaneous injection.
RESULTS ASF1B expression was markedly increased in CRC tissues and cells, and it was inversely correlated with overall survival of CRC patients and was positively associated with the tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage of CRC patients. Silencing of ASF1B suppressed proliferation, migration, invasion, stemness and EMT of CRC cells as well as tumorigenesis of xenograft mice. Furthermore, protein levels of P-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (p-PI3K) and p-AKT were decreased after silencing of ASF1B in CRC cells. The inhibitory effects of ASF1B knockdown on cell proliferation, stemness and EMT were partly abolished by PI3K activator in CRC cells.
CONCLUSION Silencing of ASF1B inactivated the PI3K/AKT pathway to suppress CRC malignancy in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer with high metastatic property. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have important involvement in cancer processes. This study focused on the regulation of circRNA RAD23 homologue B (circRAD23B) in CRC. METHODS The levels of circRAD23B, microRNA-1205 (miR-1205), and tripartite motif-44 (TRIM44) were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Functional analyses were performed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) for cell proliferation, flow cytometry for cell cycle or cell apoptosis, and transwell assay for cell migration and invasion. Western blot was administrated for protein detection. The interaction of targets was analyzed by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down assays. The in vivo experiment was conducted via xenograft tumor in mice. RESULTS We identified that circRAD23B was overexpressed in CRC tissues and cells. CRC cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and cell metastasis were inhibited, while apoptosis was promoted by downregulating circRAD23B. Target analysis indicated that circRAD23B-targeted miR-1205 and TRIM44 were downstream genes of miR-1205. Moreover, the antitumor response of circRAD23B downregulation and miR-1205 overexpression was, respectively, achieved by increasing miR-1205 and decreasing TRIM44. CircRAD23B could regulate TRIM44 level by sponging miR-1205. In vivo, circRAD23B knockdown also reduced CRC tumorigenesis via the miR-1205/TRIM44 axis. CONCLUSION These results suggested that the inhibition of circRAD23B retarded the progression of CRC via acting on the miR-1205/TRIM44 axis. CircRAD23B might be a novel target in CRC treatment.

Zhang J, Liu W, Feng S, Zhong B. The possible role of SRMS in colorectal cancer by bioinformatics analysis. World J Surg Oncol 2021; 19:326. [PMID: 34781983 PMCID: PMC8594183 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-021-02431-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Src-related kinase lacking C-terminal regulatory tyrosine and N-terminal myristoylation sites (SRMS) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that has been found to be overexpressed in various tumors. However, the role of SRMS in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been well established. METHODS We evaluated the expression levels of SRMS in CRC using GEPIA, Oncomine, and HPA datasets. Survival information and gene expression data of CRC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Then, the association between SRMS and clinicopathological features was analyzed using UALCAN dataset. LinkedOmics was used to determine co-expression and functional networks associated with SRMS. Besides, we used TISIDB to assess the correlation between SRMS and immune signatures, including tumor-infiltrating immune cells and immunomodulators. Lastly, protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was established and the function enrichment analysis of the SRMS-associated immunomodulators and immune cell marker genes were performed using the STRING portal. RESULTS Compared to normal colorectal tissues, SRMS was found to be overexpressed in CRC tissues, which was correlated with a poor prognosis. In colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), the expression levels of SRMS are significantly correlated with pathological stages and nodal metastasis status. Functional network analysis suggested that SRMS regulates intermediate filament-based processes, protein autophosphorylation, translational initiation, and elongation signaling through pathways involving ribosomes, proteasomes, oxidative phosphorylation, and DNA replication. In addition, SRMS expression was correlated with infiltrating levels of CD4+ T cells, CD56dim, MEM B, Neutrophils, Th2, Th17, and Act DC. The gene ontology (GO) analysis of SRMS-associated immunomodulators and immune cell marker genes showed that they were mainly enriched in the immune microenvironment molecule-related signals. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of these genes indicated that they are involved in multiple cancer-related pathways. CONCLUSIONS SRMS is a promising prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for CRC patients. In particular, SRMS regulates CRC progression by modulating cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokines, IL-17, and intestinal immune networks for IgA production signaling pathways among others. However, more studies are needed to validate these findings.

CRISPR/Cas13-Based Platforms for a Potential Next-Generation Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer through Exosomes Micro-RNA Detection: A Review. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13184640. [PMID: 34572866 PMCID: PMC8466426 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13184640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers, whereas a significant number of cases are diagnosed in late cancer stages, and survival rates drop dramatically. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) from cancer-derived exosomes have shown promising diagnosis potential. Our review aims to present CRISPR/Cas-based molecular platforms as an inexpensive, swift, and robust detection tool of cancer-derived exosome micro-RNAs to streamline future applications based on the novel CRISPR/Cas-based platforms to achieve early CRC diagnosis. Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer with the second highest mortality rate worldwide. CRC is a heterogenous disease with multiple risk factors associated, including obesity, smoking, and use of alcohol. Of total CRC cases, 60% are diagnosed in late stages, where survival can drop to about 10%. CRC screening programs are based primarily on colonoscopy, yet this approach is invasive and has low patient adherence. Therefore, there is a strong incentive for developing molecular-based methods that are minimally invasive and have higher patient adherence. Recent reports have highlighted the importance of extracellular vesicles (EVs), specifically exosomes, as intercellular communication vehicles with a broad cargo, including micro-RNAs (miRNAs). These have been syndicated as robust candidates for diagnosis, primarily for their known activities in cancer cells, including immunoevasion, tumor progression, and angiogenesis, whereas miRNAs are dysregulated by cancer cells and delivered by cancer-derived exosomes (CEx). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has shown good results detecting specific cancer-derived exosome micro-RNAs (CEx-miRNAs) associated with CRC, but qPCR also has several challenges, including portability and sensitivity/specificity issues regarding experiment design and sample quality. CRISPR/Cas-based platforms have been presented as cost-effective, ultrasensitive, specific, and robust clinical detection tools in the presence of potential inhibitors and capable of delivering quantitative and qualitative real-time data for enhanced decision-making to healthcare teams. Thereby, CRISPR/Cas13-based technologies have become a potential strategy for early CRC diagnosis detecting CEx-miRNAs. Moreover, CRISPR/Cas13-based platforms’ ease of use, scalability, and portability also showcase them as a potential point-of-care (POC) technology for CRC early diagnosis. This study presents two potential CRISPR/Cas13-based methodologies with a proposed panel consisting of four CEx-miRNAs, including miR-126, miR-1290, miR-23a, and miR-940, to streamline novel applications which may deliver a potential early diagnosis and prognosis of CRC.

Abstract
Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D), a protein originally demonstrated to regulate the immune system and axonal growth cone collapse in the developing central nervous system, is overexpressed in various human malignancies, including colorectal cancer (CRC). This investigation was undertaken to examine the effects of SEMA4D silencing on the biological properties of the CRC cell line. SW48 cells were transfected with a siRNA-targeting SEMA4D. The mRNA expression of underlying pro- and antiapoptotic proteins including Bax, Bcl-2, P53, and caspase-3, cancer stem cell (CSC) markers, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, MMP-2, and MMP-9 was examined using qRT-PCR. Further, the protein expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin was confirmed by Western blot. SW48 cell migration and MMP activity were detected using scratch and zymography analysis, respectively. Finally, the apoptosis rate was assessed via the flowcytometry test. SEMA4D knock-down was associated with a considerable suppression of in vitro cell viability, EMT-related genes, CSC markers, β-catenin signaling pathway, sphere-forming, cell migration, and MMP-2 activity as well as induction of apoptosis. This study identifies the inhibitory effects of SEMA4D gene silencing on tumor progression. Thereby, this might conclude a possible alternative to cancer therapy by targeting several prominent pathways involved in cancer through SEMA4D suppression.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most common and second most lethal tumor globally, causing 900,000 deaths annually. In this research, a computer aided diagnosis system was designed that detects colorectal cancer, using an innovative dataset composing of both numeric (blood and urine analysis) and qualitative data (living environment of the patient, tumor position, T, N, M, Dukes classification, associated pathology, technical approach, complications, incidents, ultrasonography-dimensions as well as localization). The intelligent computer aided colorectal cancer diagnosis system was designed using different machine learning techniques, such as classification and shallow and deep neural networks. The maximum accuracy obtained from solving the binary classification problem with traditional machine learning algorithms was 77.8%. However, the regression problem solved with deep neural networks yielded with significantly better performance in terms of mean squared error minimization, reaching the value of 0.0000529.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is now a cornerstone for cancer treatment, and much attention has been placed on the identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers. The success of biomarker development is dependent on accurate and timely collection of biospecimens and high-quality processing, storage and shipping. Tumors are also increasingly used as source material for the generation of therapeutic T cells. There have been few guidelines or consensus statements on how to optimally collect and manage biospecimens and source material being used for immunotherapy and related research. The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer Surgery Committee has brought together surgical experts from multiple subspecialty disciplines to identify best practices and to provide consensus on how best to access and manage specific tissues for immuno-oncology treatments and clinical investigation. In addition, the committee recommends early integration of surgeons and other interventional physicians with expertise in biospecimen collection, especially in clinical trials, to optimize the quality of tissue and the validity of correlative clinical studies in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Green-based materials have been increasingly studied to circumvent off-target cytotoxicity and other side-effects from conventional chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Here, cellulose fibers (CF) were isolated from rice straw (RS) waste by using an eco-friendly alkali treatment. The CF network served as an anticancer drug carrier for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). The physicochemical and thermal properties of CF, pure 5-FU drug, and the 5-FU-loaded CF (CF/5-FU) samples were evaluated. The samples were assessed for in vitro cytotoxicity assays using human colorectal cancer (HCT116) and normal (CCD112) cell lines, along with human nasopharyngeal cancer (HONE-1) and normal (NP 460) cell lines after 72-hours of treatment. RESULTS XRD and FTIR revealed the successful alkali treatment of RS to isolate CF with high purity and crystallinity. Compared to RS, the alkali-treated CF showed an almost fourfold increase in surface area and zeta potential of up to -33.61 mV. SEM images illustrated the CF network with a rod-shaped structure and comprised of ordered aggregated cellulose. TGA results proved that the thermal stability of 5-FU increased within the drug carrier. Based on UV-spectroscopy measurements for 5-FU loading into CF, drug loading encapsulation efficiency was estimated to be 83 ±0.8%. The release media at pH 7.4 and pH 1.2 showed a maximum drug release of 79% and 46%, respectively, over 24 hours. In cytotoxicity assays, CF showed almost no damage, while pure 5-FU killed most of the both normal and cancer cells. Impressively, the drug-loaded sample of CF/5-FU at a 250 µg/mL concentration demonstrated a 58% inhibition against colorectal cancer cells, but only a 23% inhibition against normal colorectal cells. Further, a 62.50 µg/mL concentration of CF/5FU eliminated 71% and 39% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and normal nasopharyngeal cells, respectively. DISCUSSION This study, therefore, showed the strong potential anticancer activity of the novel CF/5-FU formulations, warranting their further investigation.
