[PDF][PDF] Iron uptake via DMT1 integrates cell cycle with JAK-STAT3 signaling to promote colorectal tumorigenesis

…, SK Ramakrishnan, K Weisz, D Triner, L Xie, D Attili… - Cell metabolism, 2016 - cell.com
Dietary iron intake and systemic iron balance are implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC)
development, but the means by which iron contributes to CRC are unclear. Gene expression and …

Identification, isolation and characterization of human LGR5-positive colon adenoma cells

MK Dame, D Attili, SD McClintock, PH Dedhia… - …, 2018 - journals.biologists.com
The intestine is maintained by stem cells located at the base of crypts and distinguished by
the expression of LGR5. Genetically engineered mouse models have provided a wealth of …

[HTML][HTML] A method for cryogenic preservation of human biopsy specimens and subsequent organoid culture

…, M Czerwinski, A Wu, MK Dame, D Attili… - Cellular and …, 2018 - cmghjournal.org
Results/Discussion Endoscopic biopsy specimens were collected with 8-mm2 biopsy forceps
(average biopsy size, 5 mm2), transported to the laboratory, divided further into 2-to 3-mm2 …

Transferrin Receptor‐Mediated Iron Uptake Promotes Colon Tumorigenesis

…, DR Martin, HJ Lee, MK Dame, D Attili… - Advanced …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Transferrin receptor (TFRC) is the major mediator for iron entry into a cell. Under excessive
iron conditions, TFRC is expected to be reduced to lower iron uptake and toxicity. However, …

[HTML][HTML] Human colonic crypts in culture: segregation of immunochemical markers in normal versus adenoma-derived

…, KD Copley, SD McClintock, MN Aslam, D Attili… - Laboratory …, 2014 - Elsevier
In order to advance a culture model of human colonic neoplasia, we developed methods for
the isolation and in vitro maintenance of intact colonic crypts from normal human colon …

[HTML][HTML] Differentiation of human colon tissue in culture: Effects of calcium on trans-epithelial electrical resistance and tissue cohesive properties

SD McClintock, D Attili, MK Dame, A Richter… - PLoS one, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Background and aims Human colonoid cultures maintained under low-calcium (0.25 mM)
conditions undergo differentiation spontaneously and, concomitantly, express a high level of …

[HTML][HTML] Calcium-induced differentiation in normal human colonoid cultures: Cell-cell/cell-matrix adhesion, barrier formation and tissue integrity

D Attili, SD McClintock, AH Rizvi, S Pandya… - PloS one, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Background and aims The goal of the study was to assess calcium alone and Aquamin, a
multi-mineral natural product that contains magnesium and detectable levels of 72 trace …

[HTML][HTML] Ulcerative colitis-derived colonoid culture: a multi-mineral-approach to improve barrier protein expression

MN Aslam, SD McClintock, D Attili, S Pandya… - Frontiers in cell and …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Background Recent studies demonstrated that Aquamin ® , a calcium-, magnesium-rich,
multi-mineral natural product, improves barrier structure and function in colonoids obtained …

Calcium-induced differentiation of human colon adenomas in colonoid culture: calcium alone versus calcium with additional trace elements

SD McClintock, JA Colacino, D Attili, MK Dame… - Cancer Prevention …, 2018 - AACR
Previous murine studies have demonstrated that dietary Aquamin, a calcium-rich, multi-mineral
natural product, suppressed colon polyp formation and transition to invasive tumors more …

Monoclonal antibodies specific for oncofetal antigen–immature laminin receptor protein: effects on tumor growth and spread in two murine models

…, S Ali, A Chekuri, MK Dame, D Attili… - Cancer biology & …, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
The oncofetal antigen – immature laminin receptor protein (OFA/iLRP) has been linked to
metastatic tumor spread for several years. The present study, in which 2 highly-specific, high-…
