Background: To study the molecular mechanism of cisplatin chemotherapy resistance in colorectal cancer cells and to explore the effect of miRNA in regulating the expression of glucose transporter 3 (SLC2A3) and the proliferation and migration of colon cancer cells. Methods: All samples were obtained from the People’s Hospital of Wuhai, Wuhai, China between June 2019 and June 2020. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was carried out to check the expression of miR-103a in these cell lines. Western blotting and Luciferase reporter gene detection confirmed the regulation of the miR-103a/SLC2A3 axis. Western blotting detected the activation of SLC2A3, caspased-9 and -3. Results: The expression of SLC2A3 protein in colon cancer cell lines was significantly higher than that of normal colon cancer cells, while the expression of SLC2A3 miRNA showed no significant difference (P<0.05). Then, through clone formation analysis, SLC2A3 was closely related to the proliferation of human colon cancer cells. Functional recovery experiments showed that increasing the expression of miR-103a could reverse the abnormal proliferation caused by overexpression of SLC2A3. Conclusion: Overall, miR-103a can inhibit the proliferation of human colon cancer cells by targeting SLC2A3, and this result will provide a potential target for the treatment of colon cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the word. Carnosine is an endogenous dipeptide found in vertebrate skeletal muscles. It is known to have anti-fatigue, antioxidative, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and cancer inhibiting effects. However, little research has been done regarding its influence on the metastasis of colon cancer. This study cultivated HCT-116 human colon cancer cells as a test model in order to investigate the impact of carnosine on the migration and invasion of human colon cancer cells. The results showed that 48-hour treatments of HCT-116 cells with 0.5, 1, or 5 mM carnosine each significantly inhibited the migration ability of the cells (P < 0.05). The 48-hour treatments with 0.5, 1, or 5 mM carnosine were also found to significantly reduce MMP-9 activity (P < 0.05), but not MMP-2 expression. Furthermore, when HCT-116 cells treated with 1 or 5 mM carnosine, invasion ability are significantly decreased and significantly increased E-cadherin expression (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the protein of TIMP-1, an inhibitor of MMP-9, is signification increased after 1 or 5 mM carnosine treatment (P<0.05). In addition, the u-PA protein level are significantly decreased after carnosine treatment. The results indicate that carnosine can regulate the migration and invasion by regulating MMPs and its regulator molecular expression in HCT-116 cells.

Zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO) is a volatile oil that is extracted from the dry rhizome of Curcuma zedoaria with a variety of biological activities, including anti-tumor activity. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the effect and mechanism of ZTO in human colon cancer cells. The aim of this study was to examine the potential efficacy of ZTO against human colon cancer cells (HCT116) and to uncover the molecular mechanisms of its anti-tumor effects. The anti-proliferative activity of ZTO was determined by the MTT assay, cell counts and colony formation assay. Senescent cells were detected using SA-β-Gal staining, while apoptosis and the CD44+ subpopulation were evaluated by flow cytometry. The expression levels of senescence- and apoptosis-related proteins were examined using western blotting. The results showed that treatment with ZTO significantly inhibited the growth of HCT116 cells and caused senescence and apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Western blotting revealed that ZTO significantly increased the expression of senescence- and apoptosis-related proteins p16, p21, and p53 and the phosphorylation of ERK. Moreover, ZTO treatment reduced the cancer stem-like CD44 positive cell population. These findings suggest that ZTO inhibits human colon cancer cells by inducing senescence and apoptosis.

The morphogenetic potential of human colon cancer cells was examined by combining cells with foetal rat mesenchyme in organ culture. Out of four cell lines examined, LS174T cells formed glandular structures composed of a simple columnar or cuboidal epithelium with a lumen in the centre of the cell mass. Ultrastructurally, these gland-forming LS174T cells exhibited polarity, with nuclei located basally, microvilli projecting into the lumen, tight junctions at the cell—cell junction facing the lumen, desmosomes at the subluminal region, and basal laminae at the epithelial-mesenchymal interface. Other cell lines did not form such glandular structures, while some cells could form microvilli, tight junctions or basal laminae, which were arranged randomly. It is concluded that it is not the existence but the ordered arrangement of these structures that is essential for gland formation by epithelial cells. The mechanism of gland formation is discussed with special reference to the arrangement of different structures.
