چکیده
Abstract Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is critical for the metastatic dissemination of cancer cells and contributes to drug resistance. In this study, we observed that epithelial colorectal (CRC) transiently exposed 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (a chemotherapeutic CRC) as well 5-FU-resistant (5-FU-R) develop EMT characters evidenced by activation Vimentin augmented invasive properties. On other hand, 4DPG (4′-demethyl-deoxypodophyllotoxin glucoside), a natural podophyllotoxin analog attenuates invadopodia formation abilities HCT-116/5-FU-R SW-620/5-FU-R cells. Treatment with restrains phosphorylation (Ser38) in 5-FU-R cells, along downregulation mesenchymal markers Twist1 MMP-2 while augmenting expression E-cadherin TIMP-1. Moreover, boosts tumor-suppressor protein, checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) via at Thr68 dose-dependent manner Mechanistically, SiRNA-mediated silencing Chk2, treatment Chk2-specific small-molecule inhibitor (PV1019), divulges represses Chk2-dependent manner. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation analysis unveiled prevents complex between p53 resulting rescue its nuclear localization aggressive addition, confers suitable pharmacokinetic properties strongly abrogates tumor growth, polyps formation, lung metastasis an orthotopic rat carcinoma model. conclusion, our findings demonstrate targeted antitumor/anti-metastatic pharmacological lead compound circumvent EMT-associated resistance suggest clinical benefits cancers.

Mitotic kinase expression and colorectal cancer progression.
Loss of chromosomal integrity as well as genomic stability is considered to act as a driving force during the processes of tumorigenesis and tumor progression (1–3). Recently, two kinase genes involved in mitosis, the genes for aurora and IPL1l ike midbodyassociated protein kinase-1 (4,5) [AIM1, registered in UniGene and also known as aurora1 (6) and ARK2 (7)] and for serine/threonine kinase-6 ...
متن کاملStudy of FGF14 gene expression and cancer progression in colorectal cancer tissue samples
Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death and the third most common malignant cancer worldwide. FGF14 is a member of the large family of fibroblast growth factors. These factors control a wide range of biological functions, including cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation that disturbing their expression can lead to cancer. The purpose of this ...
متن کاملCholesterol Enhances Colorectal Cancer Progression via ROS Elevation and MAPK Signaling Pathway Activation.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Elevated serum cholesterol levels were linked to a higher risk of colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer (CRC), while the effect of cholesterol on CRC metastasis has not been widely studied. METHODS CRC patients were enrolled to evaluate the association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and CRC metastases, and LDL receptor (LDLR) level of the CRC tissue was a...
متن کاملTES inhibits colorectal cancer progression through activation of p38
The human TESTIN (TES) gene has been identified as a candidate tumor suppressor based on its location at a common fragile site - a region where loss of heterozygosity has been detected in numerous types of tumors. To investigate its role in colorectal cancer (CRC), we examined TES protein levels in CRC tissue samples and cell lines. We observed that TES was markedly reduced in both CRC tissue a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Expression of EGFR, HER-2 and COX-2 in Colorectal Cancer
Background and objective: EGFR and HER-2 are two members of ERbB/HER family of Type I Transmembrane growth factor receptors. Cox2 is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, which has a major role in angiogenesis and can modelate tumor growth. The aim of this study was to determine the level of expression of EGFR, HER-2 and Cox2 in colorectd cancer. Mater...
