Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

6.2K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.4K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Epigenetic Regulation

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal01:12

Role Of Notch Signalling In Intestinal Stem Cell Renewal

2.0K
Notch signaling was first discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, where it is involved in cell lineage differentiation. Notch signaling regulates the maintenance and differentiation of intestinal stem cells or ISCs by controlling the expression of atonal homolog 1 or Atoh1. Atoh1 directs cells to differentiate into secretory cells.
Direct cell-to-cell contact is needed for the activation of Notch signaling. The signal is initiated when a notch ligand binds to a receptor on an adjacent cell, also...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.7K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Summary

Dachshund homolog 1 (DACH1) is epigenetically silenced by Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) during colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. This DNMT1-DACH1 axis offers potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for CRC.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epigenetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant cause of cancer mortality.
  • The role of Dachshund homolog 1 (DACH1) in tumor development is debated.
  • Understanding DACH1 regulation is crucial for CRC research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of DACH1 in colorectal cancer progression.
  • To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of DACH1 in CRC.
  • To assess the relationship between DACH1, DNMT1, and clinical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of TCGA data and 120 clinical samples.
  • Immunohistochemistry, PCR, and methylation-specific PCR were employed.
  • Correlation and clinicopathological analyses were performed.

Main Results:

  • DACH1 expression decreased, while DNMT1 expression and DACH1 promoter methylation increased from normal to cancerous tissues.
  • Lower DACH1 and higher DNMT1 expression correlated with adverse outcomes like poor differentiation and advanced stages.
  • Inverse expression patterns of DACH1 and DNMT1 were confirmed in paired patient tissues.

Conclusions:

  • DNMT1-mediated epigenetic silencing of DACH1 is critical in CRC progression.
  • The DNMT1-DACH1 regulatory axis represents a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC.
