Abstract Background Mounting evidence has demonstrated the vital importance of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and exosomes in formation premetastatic niche. However, molecular mechanisms by which tumor-derived exosomal miRNAs interact with TAMs underlying niche colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) remain largely unknown. Methods Transmission electron microscopy differential ultracentrifugation were used to verify existence exosomes. In vivo vitro assays identify roles miR-934. RNA...

Abstract Liver metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRLM) is the most common cause CRC‐related mortality, and typically caused by interactions between CRC cells tumour microenvironment (TME) in liver. However, molecular mechanisms underlying crosstalk tumour‐derived extracellular vesicle (EV) miRNAs TME CRLM have yet to be fully elucidated. The present study demonstrated that highly metastatic released more miR‐181a‐5p‐rich EVs than which exhibit a low potential, in‐turn promoting CRLM....

For locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients who receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT), there are no reliable indicators to accurately predict pathological complete response (pCR) before surgery. with clinical (cCR), a "Watch and Wait" (W&W) approach can be adopted improve quality of life. However, W&W may increase the recurrence risk in judged cCR but have minimal residual disease (MRD). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is major tool evaluate nCRT; however, its ability pCR...

Abstract Purpose: Metabolic phenotyping has provided important biomarker findings, which, unfortunately, are rarely replicated across different sample sets due to the variations from analytical and clinical protocols used in studies. To date, very few metabolic hallmarks a given cancer type have been confirmed validated by use of metabolomic approach other modalities. Here, we report metabolomics study identify potential metabolite biomarkers colorectal with theranostic value. Experimental...
