Abstract

Significance: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer death, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we developed an orthotopic organoid transplantation approach and used engineered human colon tumor organoids to study the contribution of common CRC mutations to metastasis. Using this approach, we show that the combination of oncogenic mutations in Wnt, EGFR, P53, and TGF-β signaling pathways facilitates efficient tumor cell migration and metastasis. These mutations allow growth independent of stem cell niche factors, enabling cells to grow at foreign distant sites that lack these factors. Our findings suggest that metastasis is a direct consequence of acquired niche independency.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
