We aimed to identify and characterize epigenetic regulators of CRC differentiation, uncovering mechanisms that reprogram cancer cell states.<h3>METHODS</h3>A small molecule library targeting epigenetic regulators was screened using an endogenous dual reporter system. We evaluated lead compounds in mouse and human CRC models via histopathology, cellular assays, epigenetic studies, mass-spectrometry–based histone modification profiling, and single cell RNA-sequencing. Integrative analyses of drug-induced chromatin dynamics, gene expression, target engagement, and histone marks elucidated molecular mechanisms. Focused genetic screens were conducted to identify regulators of HDAC1/2-mediated differentiation.<h3>RESULTS</h3>We found that inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1/2 catalytic domain promotes CRC differentiation and suppresses tumor growth. Unbiased profiling of histone modifications identified H3K27ac and H3K9ac as critical regulatory marks, with genome-wide analyses demonstrating their enrichment at HDAC1/2-bound regions associated with open chromatin and upregulated differentiation genes. Disrupting H3K27ac by targeted degradation of acetyltransferase EP300 reversed the differentiation phenotype induced by HDAC1/2 inhibition in a patient-derived CRC organoid. Genetic screens revealed that DAPK3 contributes to H3K27ac-mediated CRC differentiation induced by HDAC1/2 inhibition.<h3>CONCLUSIONS</h3>Our findings establish histone acetylation as a chemically targetable mechanism governing CRC cell fate and demonstrate that epigenetic reprogramming can be leveraged as a therapeutic strategy. By identifying HDAC1/2 inhibition as a driver of differentiation and revealing H3K27ac as a key regulatory mark, this study provides a framework for targeting chromatin-modifying enzymes to counteract CRC plasticity and improve treatment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":12590,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":29.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144578261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this interim analysis, we report 3-year Kaplan-Meier estimates of proportion diagnosed with pancreatic cancer following GNOD (absolute incidence (95% Confidence Intervals)) and associated Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR) by race/ethnicity; overall 3-year incidence of pancreatic cancer adjusting for racial distribution of incident diabetes in the United States; and interval between GNOD and pancreatic cancer diagnosis.<h3>RESULTS</h3>During median follow-up of 2.3 years, 82 pancreatic cancers have been diagnosed (60% male, mean age 71±8 years). The 3-year estimates for proportion diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (95% CI) and associated SIR (95% CI) by race/ethnicity were: non-Hispanic Whites (n=6,518) 0.84% (CI: 0.60, 1.07) (SIR 6.4 (CI: 4.8, 8.4)); Hispanics (n=5,984) 0.40% (0.20, 0.60) (SIR 4.2 (2.6, 6.3)); African Americans (n=2,192) 0.37% (0.07, 0.67) (SIR 2.4 (1.0, 5.0), and Asian/Pacific Islander (n=3,360) 0.22% (.06, 0.39) (SIR 3.0 (1.4, 6.0).
