摘要
BACKGROUND:Clinical treatment for colon cancer mainly includes fluorouracil,irinotecan and oxaliplatin-based therapy.Studies have shown that membrane transport proteins such as ATP-binding cassette transport protein of G2(ABCG2)mediate the transport of these drugs.However,when patients develop resistance to these chemotherapeutic drugs,the high expression of ABCG2 leads to a significant decrease in the therapeutic effect and raises the problem of drug resistance in colon cancer.New drugs and treatments are urgently needed to improve the efficacy.Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has a wide range of biological activities.It can be used as anti-tumor drug to overcome the damage to normal cells in the process of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in tumor patients. OBJECTIVE:To explore the reversal effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide in combination with oxaliplatin on colon cancer drug-resistant cells through in vitro experiments to investigate the possible molecular mechanism of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide reversal on colon cancer drug-resistant cells. METHODS:Colon cancer cell line HCT116 and oxaliplatin-resistant cell line HCT116-OXR were selected for in vitro experiments.The optimal intervention concentration and intervention time of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide and oxaliplatin were determined by CCK8 assay of cell proliferation.Samples were further divided into the HCT116 control group,HCT116-OXR blank treatment group,Lycium barbarum polysaccharide group(2.5 mg/mL Lycium barbarum polysaccharide),and oxaliplatin group(10 μmol/L oxaliplatin),and Lycium barbarum polysaccharide + oxaliplatin group(2.5 mg/mL Lycium barbarum polysaccharide +10 μmol/L oxaliplatin).Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The protein expression levels of phosphomannose isomerase(PMI)and ABCG2 were detected by immunofluorescence and western blot assay.Phosphatidylinositol3-kinase(PI3K),protein kinase B(AKT),B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2)and BCL2-Associated X(Bax)were detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)HCT116-OXR was more sensitive to Lycium barbarum polysaccharide compared to HCT116(P<0.05).(2)Compared with the HCT116-OXR blank group,Lycium barbarum polysaccharide + oxaliplatin could promote apoptosis of HCT116-OXR cells(P<0.05).The protein expression of Bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated(P<0.05);the protein expression of Bax was significantly up-regulated(P<0.05);the protein expression of ABCG2,PMI,PI3K and AKT was significantly down-regulated(P<0.05).(3)These results indicate that Lycium barbarum polysaccharide reverses drug resistance in colon cancer by inhibiting PMI/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,which lays the foundation for studying the molecular mechanism of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide's sensitizing chemotherapeutic effects.

Objective To identify small molecule inhibitors of APC-mutant colon cancer and provide lead compounds for targeted therapy of colon cancer. Methods APC-mutant colon cancer cell lines that stably express 7*Tcf-GFP/SV40-Cherry (7TGC) dual fluorescence reporter system was constructed for small-molecule inhibitor screening. Cell viability, colony formation, EdU incorporation, and xenograft tumor assay were used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of these inhibitors on APC-mutant colon cancer in vitro and in vivo. Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation assays were used to explore the molecular mechanism. Results Four small molecules that inhibited Wnt activity in APC-mutant colon cancer cells were discovered. Shikonin exhibited significant inhibition of cell viability and proliferation while inducing apoptosis of APC-mutant colon cancer cells. Xenograft tumor assay demonstrated that shikonin significantly reduced tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed that shikonin markedly decreased β-catenin levels. Conclusion Shikonin effectively inhibits Wnt activity and suppresses tumor growth in APC-mutant colon cancer.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Tongxie Yaofang on the function of tumor-related natural killer （NK） cells under chronic stress and explore the possible molecular mechanism. MethodFifty SPF-grade BABL/C male mice were randomized into normal， model， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （6.825， 13.65， and 27.3 g·kg-1， respectively） Tongxie Yaofang groups， with 10 mice in each group. Other groups except the blank group were subjected to 7 days of chronic restraint stress， and then forced swimming and tail suspension tests were carried out to evaluate the modeling performance. After the successful modeling， rats in Tongxie Yaofang groups were administrated with low-， medium-， and high-doses of Tongxie Yaofang by gavage， while those in the other groups were administrated with normal saline by gavage. After 14 days， each group of mice was inoculated with subcutaneous colon cancer to establish the model of colon cancer under chronic stress. The pathological changes of the tumor tissue in each group of mice were observed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The content of CD49b-positive cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue of mice was measured by flow cytometry. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to measure the content of molecules associated with NK cell activation in the peripheral blood. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ polypeptide-related sequences A and B （MICA+MICB） and UL-16-binding protein 1 （ULBP1） in the tumor tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed a decrease in 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） content and an increase in corticosterone （CORT） content in the serum （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， Tongxie Yaofang increased the 5-HT content and decreased the CORT content （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the modeling increased the tumor volume and weight （P<0.05）， while Tongxie Yaofang inhibited such increases with no statistical significance. The tumor cells in the model group presented neat arrangement， irregular shape， uneven size， obvious atypia， common nuclear division， and small necrotic area， and blood vessels were abundant surrounding the tumor cells. Compared with the model group， Tongxie Yaofang groups showed sparse arrangement of tumor cells， different degrees of patchy necrosis areas in the tumor， and karyorrhexis， dissolution， and nuclear debris in the necrotic part. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed reduced CD49b-positive cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Tongxie Yaofang increased CD49b-positive cells （medium dose P<0.01， high dose P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the modeling lowered the serum levels of granzymes-B （Gzms-B）， perforin （PF）， interferon （IFN）-γ， and tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， low-dose Tongxie Yaofang elevated the serum levels of PF， Gzms-B， and TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and medium-dose Tongxie Yaofang elevated the serum levels of Gzms-B， PF， IFN-γ， and TNF-α （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， high-dose Tongxie Yaofang elevated the serum levels of PF， IFN-γ， and TNF-α （P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the model group presented down-regulated protein level of ULBP1 （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， low-， medium-， and high-dose Tongxie Yaofang up-regulated the protein level of ULBP1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and medium- and high-dose Tongxie Yaofang up-regulated the protein level of MICA+MICB （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionTongxie Yaofang may promote NK cell activation by up-regulating the expression of MICA+MICB and ULBP1， thereby delaying the progression of colon cancer under chronic stress.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of curcumin on the cycle arrest of human colon cancer HCT116 cells and decipher the possible molecular mechanism. MethodThe methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） method was employed to examine the effects of curcumin （0， 12.5， 25， 50， 75， 100 μmol·L-1） and 5-fluorouracil （5-FU， 600 μmol·L-1） on the proliferation of HCT116 cells at different time points （24， 48， 72 h）. Flow cytometry was employed to examine the cycle of HCT116 cells treated with curcumin （0， 25， 50， 75 μmol·L-1） and 5-FU. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of proteins in the Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 （STAT1） /cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A （p21） pathway in HCT116 cells. The binding of STAT1 to p21 promoter region was detected by chromatin immunoprecipitation （ChIP）. Small interfering RNA （siRNA） was employed to measure the role of STAT1 in regulating the expression of p21 and that of JAK1 in regulating the activation of STAT1 by Western blot and cellular immunofluorescence， respectively. ResultCompared with the blank group， the HCT-116 cells treated with curcumin and 5-FU showed decreased viability （P<0.05）， increased proportions of cells in the G0/G1 phase （P<0.05）， decreased proportions of cells in the S phase and G2/M phase （P<0.05）， down-regulated protein level of phosphorylated p21 （P<0.05）， and up-regulated protein level of p21 （P<0.05）. Compared with the curcumin group， the p21 siRNA+ curcumin group presented decreased proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， curcumin elevated the level of phosphorylated STAT1 （p-STAT1） （P<0.05）. Compared with the curcumin group， the curcumin + STAT1 siRNA group showcased up-regulated protein level of p21 in HCT116 cells （P<0.05）. The mechanism study showed that curcumin treatment enhanced the enrichment of STAT1 in the p21 promoter region （P<0.05） compared with the blank group. Compared with the blank group， curcumin up-regulated the level of phosphorylated JAK1 （p-JAK1） （P <0.05）. Compared with the curcumin group， the curcumin + STAT1 siRNA group demonstrated up-regulated protein levels of p-STAT1 and p21 in HCT116 cells （P<0.05）. ConclusionCurcumin may induce the cycle arrest of human colon cancer HCT116 cells by activating the JAK1/STAT1/p21 signaling pathway.

Objective: To report a clinical case of achrometastases of colon cancer. Materials and methods: Information is obtained from the electronic medical record. A literature review is performed, using the terms "achrometastases", "bone metastases", "hand metastases", "phalangeal metastases". Results: We present the case of a patient with a history of stage IV sigmoid colon cancer who underwent resection of liver metastases, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Consultation due to an ulcerative lesion on the right ring finger, whose biopsy indicated colon adenocarcinoma metastases. Proximal transphalangeal amputation is performed with biopsy confirming diagnosis. Discussion: Hand metastases account for 0.007-0.2% of all distant metastases. They present as a painful increase in volume with a granulomatous appearance or associated with progressively worsening ulceration. The treatment aims to manage pain and preserve the functionality of the limb. Conclusion: Colon adenocarcinoma rarely gives phalangeal metastases. They correspond to a late manifestation of the disease with a high associated 6-month mortality rate. They should be considered as a differential diagnosis in cancer patients.

Objective: This article aims to study the effect of phosphate and tension homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) knockdown on colon cancer progression and macrophage polarization in the cancer environment. Materials and Methods and Results: The expression of PTEN in colon cancer tissues and colon cancer cells was significantly lower than in precancerous tissues or CCD-18Co cells, and the decrease was most evident in SW620 cells. The expressions of phosphate (p)-p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), activator protein 1 (AP-1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) protein in colon cancer tissues and cells were significantly higher than in precancerous tissues or CCD-18Co cells (P-values < 0.05). Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) and Caspase-3 expressions in colon cancer tissues and cells were significantly lower than in precancerous tissues or CCD-18Co cells (P-values < 0.05). 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was applied to measure cell viability. Transwell evaluated the cell migration and invasion ability. Si-PTEN improved the proliferation, migration, and invasion of SW620 cells (P-values < 0.05). The expression levels of arginase-1 (Arg-1), CD163, CD206 in colon cancer tissues were significantly higher than in precancerous tissues (P-values < 0.05). The cell cycle, the number of M1 and M2 double-positive cells were assessed by flow cytometry. Si-PTEN reduced the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?), interleukin-1beta (IL-1?), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which upregulated the expression of Arg-1, CD206, CD163, p-p38, JNK, and AP-1 (P-values < 0.05). Conclusion: Si-PTEN promoted colon cancer progression and induced the polarization of M2 tumor-associated macrophages in the colon cancer cell environment.
摘要
ABSTRACT Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in both men and women and ranks second as the most common cause of cancer death in the United States. Classic risk factors include tobacco smoking, high alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and excess body weight. A prospective study found that an elevated serum uric acid was associated with higher rates of cancer-associated polyps. Interestingly, other studies found an association between elevated levels of serum uric acid and other types of cancer including colorectal cancer. Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate whether patients with chronic tophaceous gout had an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Methods: A validated multicenter and research platform database of more than 360 hospitals from 26 different healthcare systems across the United States was utilized to construct this study. Patients aged 18 years and above were included. Individuals who have had a history of familial adenomatous polyposis, a family history of colon cancer, and those diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease were excluded from the analysis. The risk of developing colon cancer was calculated using a multivariate regression analysis to account for potential confounders. Results: 80,927,194 individuals were screened in the database and 70,177,200 were selected in the final analysis after accounting for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Type 2 diabetics (28.57%), smokers (10.98%), obese individuals (18.71%), alcoholics (3.13%), and patients who have had a diagnosis of chronic tophaceous gout were more common in the colon cancer group compared to those without the malignancy. Using multivariate regression analysis, risk of colon cancer was calculated for male gender (OR: 1.02; 95%CI: 1.01-1.03), smokers (OR: 1.54; 95%CI: 1.52-1.56), alcoholics (OR: 1.40; 95%CI: 1.37-1.43), obese patients (OR: 1.52; 95%CI: 1.50-1.54), type 2 diabetic individuals (OR: 3.53; 95%CI: 3.50-3.57), and those who have had a diagnosis of chronic tophaceous gout (OR: 1.40; 95%CI: 2.48-3.23). Conclusion: As expected, patients with colon cancer were found to have a higher prevalence in males, obese, tobacco and alcohol users. We also demonstrated that patients with gout have a significantly higher prevalence of CRC than those who do not before and after adjusting for metabolic risk factors. In fact, uric acid was found to induce production of reactive oxygen species, thus potentially promoting tumorigenesis. It would be interesting to assess the prevalence of colon cancer in patients with gout who have a serum uric acid that is less than 7 mg/dL. This might promote a tighter control of serum uric acid levels in this population in order to decrease the risk of colon cancer.
RESUMO Contexto: O câncer colorretal é o terceiro tipo mais comum de câncer em homens e mulheres e ocupa o segundo lugar como a causa mais comum de morte por câncer nos EUA. Os fatores de risco clássicos incluem tabagismo, alto consumo de álcool, inatividade física e excesso de peso corporal. Um estudo prospectivo descobriu que um ácido úrico sérico elevado estava associado a taxas mais altas de pólipos associados ao câncer. Curiosamente, outros estudos encontraram uma associação entre níveis elevados de ácido úrico sérico e outros tipos de câncer, incluindo o câncer colorretal. Objetivo: Nosso estudo teve como objetivo avaliar se os pacientes com gota tofácea crônica tinham um risco aumentado de desenvolver câncer colorretal. Métodos: Utilizou-se um banco de dados validado multicêntrico e de plataforma de pesquisa de mais de 360 hospitais de 26 diferentes sistemas de saúde nos Estados Unidos para a construção deste estudo. Foram incluídos pacientes com 18 anos ou mais. Indivíduos com histórico de polipose adenomatosa familiar, histórico familiar de câncer de cólon e aqueles diagnosticados com doença inflamatória intestinal foram excluídos da análise. O risco de desenvolver câncer de cólon foi calculado usando uma análise de regressão multivariada para contabilizar possíveis confusões. Resultados: 80.927.194 indivíduos foram rastreados no banco de dados e 70.177.200 foram selecionados na análise final após considerar critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Diabéticos tipo 2 (28,57%), fumantes (10,98%), indivíduos obesos (18,71%), alcoólatras (3,13%) e pacientes que tiveram diagnóstico de gota tofácea crônica foram mais comuns no grupo de câncer de cólon em comparação com aqueles sem a malignidade. Usando a análise de regressão multivariada, o risco de câncer de cólon foi calculado para o sexo masculino (OR: 1,02; IC95%: 1,01-1,03), fumantes (OR: 1,54; IC95%: 1,52-1,56), alcoólatras (OR: 1,40; IC95%: 1,37-1,43), pacientes obesos (OR: 1,52; IC95%: 1,50-1,54), indivíduos diabéticos tipo 2 (OR: 3,53; IC95%: 3,50-3,57), e aqueles que tiveram diagnóstico de gota tofácea crônica (OR: 1,40; IC95%: 2,48-3,23). Conclusão: Como esperado, os pacientes com câncer de cólon foram encontrados com maior prevalência em homens, obesos, usuários de tabaco e álcool. Demonstramos também que os pacientes com gota têm uma prevalência significativamente maior de câncer colorretal do que aqueles que não a têm, antes e após o ajuste para fatores de risco metabólicos. De fato, descobriu-se que o ácido úrico induz a produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio, promovendo assim potencialmente a tumorigênese. Seria interessante avaliar a prevalência de câncer de cólon em pacientes com gota que têm um ácido úrico sérico inferior a 7 mg/dL. Isso poderia promover um controle mais rígido dos níveis de ácido úrico sérico nesta população para diminuir o risco de câncer de cólon.
摘要
Se define «síndrome febril prolongado¼ a todo cuadro de hipertermia que persiste al menos 10 días sin ser diagnosticado. El síndrome de Good es una inmunodeficiencia primaria del adulto que se caracteriza por presentar hipogammaglobulinemia, disminución de linfocitos B y anormalidades en los linfocitos T. Entre el 15 y el 20% de los casos de «fiebre de origen desconocido¼ ocurren debido a neoplasias, y el cáncer de colon representa menos del 1% de todos estos casos. Se presenta una paciente de 49 años admitida en el hospital por presentar síndrome febril con un mes de evolución, con antecedentes de síndrome de Good. Se le diagnostica cáncer de colon. (AU)
A prolonged febrile syndrome (PFS) is defined as any episode of hyperthermia that persists for at least 10 days without being diagnosed. Good's syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency in adults characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia, decreased B lymphocytes, and abnormalities in T lymphocytes. Between 15 to 20% of fever of unknown origin (FOD) cases are due to neoplasms, and colon cancer represents less than 1% of all these cases. A 49-year-old patient with a history of Good's syndrome was admitted to the hospital due to a febrile syndrome lasting for a month. She was diagnosed with colon cancer. (AU)
