scLM: Automatic Detection of Consensus Gene Clusters Across Multiple Single-cell Datasets

Qianqian Song et al.

Summary: In gene expression profiling studies, specifically in single-cell RNA sequencing analyses, accurately identifying and clustering co-expressed genes is essential for understanding cell identity and function. Existing methods for single-cell data often fail to accurately identify co-expressed genes, but the scLM algorithm tailored for single-cell data proves to be effective in detecting biologically significant gene clusters and can cluster multiple single-cell datasets simultaneously. Results from simulation and experimental data show that scLM outperforms existing methods and provides novel biological insights for mechanism discovery and understanding complex biosystems like cancer.

WNT/β-catenin-suppressed FTO expression increases m6A of c-Myc mRNA to promote tumor cell glycolysis and tumorigenesis

Xueying Yang et al.

Summary: FTO plays a critical role in cancer development by removing m(6)A modifications from genes. Downregulation of FTO expression in lung adenocarcinoma patients is associated with poor survival. Mechanistically, Wnt signaling induces EZH2 binding to beta-catenin, inhibiting FTO expression and promoting m(6)A modifications on specific genes like MYC to enhance tumor cell glycolysis and growth.

FTO-mediated cytoplasmic m6Am demethylation adjusts stem-like properties in colorectal cancer cell

Sebastien Relier et al.

Summary: The demethylase FTO was shown to remove N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6, 2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6A(m)) modifications on RNAs. Here the authors show that FTO impedes cancer stem cell-like abilities in colorectal cancer cells through its m6A(m) demethylase activity, not through internal m6A demethylase activity.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Colorectal Cancer: Implications for Drug Discovery

Qiang Sun et al.

Summary: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for centuries as an important part of complementary and alternative medicine, particularly in the treatment of various diseases. However, the lack of understanding of active ingredients and mechanisms of TCM in combating diseases like colorectal cancer has hindered the development of clinical products and precision medicine in this field.
