Core Tip

Core Tip: Synaptotagmin binding cytoplasmic RNA interacting protein (SYNCRIP) is regulated by enhancers and POLR2A and highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Highly expressed SYNCRIP can reduce CD8+ T cells and accelerate CRC cell division by exerting its epigenetic regulatory effects. These CRC cells are sensitive to radiation therapy. Finally, SYNCRIP is expected to become a biomarker in CRC patients.
