Project description:Oxaliplatin as a first-line drug frequently causes the chemo-resistance on colorectal cancer (CRC). N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation has been largely acknowledged in multiple biological functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the m6A methylation in modulating anticancer drug resistance in CRC are still obscure. In present study, RNA-seq was conducted to investigate the transcriptome of HCT116, HCT116 cells with oxaliplatin resistance (HCT116R), HCT8 and HCT8 cells with oxaliplatin resistance (HCT8R).
Project description:DEAD-box RNA helicase 21 (DDX21), is a nucleolar protein harboring ATP-dependent double-stranded RNA unwinding activities, essential in rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. However, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression remains unclear. In this study, we performed RNAseq in colorectal cancer line HCT8 with or without DDX21 gene silencing, to reveal the role of DDX21 in transcriptional and epigenetic control of CRC cell proliferation.
Project description:Complete growth medium RPMI-1640 which contains 10% FCS, 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution was used for cell culture. Both cell lines were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. MTT assay was performed to determine the 5 ‑ FU resistance in both of HCT-8/WT and HCT-8/5-FU cell line.

Project description:5-fluorouracil (5‑FU) based chemotherapy is the first-line chemotherapy scheme for CRC, whereas acquired drug resistance poses a huge obstacle to curing CRC patients and the mechanism is still obscure. METTL14 is a core subunit of the m6A methyltransferase complex and has been reported to regulate the drug resistance of cancers. Here, we demonstrated that METTL14 is significantly downregulated in 5-FU-resistant CRC and METTL14 overexpression inhibits the proliferation and 5-FU resistance of CRC cells in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we found that MIB1 catalyzes the K63-linked ubiquitination of METTL14 and induces its degradation through the autolysosome pathway, while AURKA-mediated phosphorylation enhances METTL14 stability by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Moreover, we first discovered that METTL14 functions in 5-FU-resistant CRC cells by directly participating in the translation initiation of non-m6A-modified mRNAs independently of METTL3, rather than cooperating with METTL3 to methylate adenosine residues of targets. Further analysis indicated that METTL14 regulates the cell cycle process in 5-FU-resistant CRC cells. Collectively, our study not only identified METTL14 as a potential therapeutic target for 5-FU resistance in CRC but also revealed a novel translation-facilitating role of METTL14.

Project description:Drug resistance to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and recurrence after chemotherapy in colorectal cancer remain a challenge to be resolved for the improvement of patient outcomes. In the present study, we found that the application of conditioned medium (CM) derived from 5-FU-resistant colon cancer cells HCT-8/FU reduced the chemosensitivity of native HCT-8 to 5-FU, which was accompanied with the significant changes at number counts and morphology of Cajal bodys (CBs), a spherical nuclear body, dynamic exchanging constituent macromolecules (i.e., body-specific proteins and RNAs) with the nucleoplasmic space.It was shown that the disassembly and reassembly of CBs regulated by the phosphorylation of coilin, which was significantly activated by UHMK1. These led to a large number of variations of RNA alternative splicing in cells, which could contribute to the cell survival through remodeling of intracellular phenotype and transmitting preadaptive signal to adjacent cells in tumor microenvironment.
Project description:To investigate the presence and abundance of piRNAs in Colorectal Cancer (CRC), we performed deep-sequencing of the small RNA transcriptome of eight human CRC cell lines (HT-115, Caco-2, SW-1417, SW 403, COLO 205, HT-29, HCT 116 and RKO).
