We pursued a multi-omic strategy in OVCAR3 ovarian cancer and CCL218 colorectal cancer cells. Two genome-scale screens were performed. In the forward genetic screen, cell populations were passaged for 15 drug pulse-chases with HCQ or vehicle control. Evolved cells were collected and processed for bulk RNA-seq, exome-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). In the reverse genetic screen, a pooled CRISPR-Cas9 library was used in cells over three pulse-chases of HCQ or vehicle control treatments. HCQ evolved cells displayed remarkably few mutational differences, but substantial transcriptional differences. Transcriptomes revealed multiple pathways associated with resistance to HCQ, including upregulation of glycolysis, exocytosis, and chromosome condensation/segregation, or downregulation of translation and apoptosis. The Cas9 screen identified only one autophagy gene. Chromosome condensation and segregation were confirmed to be disrupted by HCQ in live cells and organelle-free <i>in vitro</i> extracts. Transcriptional plasticity was the primary mechanism by which cells evolved resistance to HCQ. Neither autophagy nor the lysosome were substantive hits.

Moreover, MLT plays a crucial role in the development of animal germ cells and embryos. This study aimed to investigate the impact of MLT on porcine oocytes exposed to MXC. The experimental findings revealed that 200 μM MXC had detrimental effects on the maturation of porcine oocytes. However, the addition of 10<sup>-8</sup> M MLT mitigated the toxic effects of MXC. MXC induced oxidative stress in porcine oocytes, leading to an increase in reactive oxygen species and impairing mitochondrial function. Consequently, oocyte quality was affected, resulting in elevated levels of early apoptosis and DNA damage, ultimately negatively impacting subsequent embryonic development. However, the addition of MLT showed the potential to ameliorate the damage caused by MXC.

In the United States alone, CRC was responsible for approximately 52,550 deaths in 2023, with an estimated 153,020 new cases. CRC presents with synchronous peritoneal spread in 5-10% of patients, and up to 20-50% of patients with recurrent disease will develop metachronous colorectal cancer peritoneal metastatic (CRC-PM) disease. Eradication of the tumor, tumor margins and microscopic residual disease is paramount, as microscopic residual disease is associated with local recurrences, with 5-year survival rates of less than 35%. The success of resection and reduction of residual disease depends on the accuracy with which cancer cells and normal tissue can be intra-operatively distinguished. Fluorescence Molecular Imaging (IFMI) and tumor-targeted contrast agents represent a promising approach for intraoperative detection and surgical intervention. Proper target selection, the development of scalable imaging agents and enhanced real-time tumor and tumor microenvironment imaging are critical to enabling enhanced surgical resection. LGR5 (leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5), a colonic crypt stem cell marker and the receptor for the R-spondins (RSPO) in the Wnt signaling pathway, is also expressed on colorectal cancer stem cells (CSC) and on CRC tumors and metastases, suggesting it could be a useful target for imaging of CRC. However, there are numerous diverging reports on the role of LGR5 in CRC therapy and outcomes. Herein, we report on the synthesis and validation of a 37 amino acid RSPO1-mimetic peptide, termed RC18, that was specifically designed to access the R-spondin binding site of LGR5 to potentially be used for interoperative imaging of CRC-PM. The receptor-binding capabilities of the RC18 indicate that direct interactions with LGR5 neither significantly increased LGR5 signaling nor blocked RSPO1 binding and signal transduction, suggesting that the RSPO1-mimetic is functionally inert, making it an attractive contrast agent for intraoperative CRC-PM imaging.</p>","PeriodicalId":9686,"journal":{"name":"Cell Cycle","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141562775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
