Hyaluronic acid-tailored prodrug nanoplatforms for efficiently overcoming colorectal cancer chemoresistance and recurrence by synergistic inhibition of cancer cell stemness.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A subset of residual colorectal cancer (CRC) cells with stemness features exhibits a transient adaptive resistance after chemotherapy, limiting durable therapeutic benefits and even accelerating tumor recurrence. To tackle this problem, we have developed a targeted polymer prodrug nanoplatform (CHH-T/NPs) capable of synergistically inhibiting cancer cell stemness by modulating intracellular metabolism and inhibiting protective autophagy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) acts as a tumor-targeting molecular backbone, α-cyanohydroxycinnamic acid (CHC) is an inhibitor of monocarboxylic acid transporter 1 (MCT1), and hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) is an inhibitor of autophagy. These compounds were loaded on the HA backbone to form a polymeric prodrug, CHH, with pH-responsive ester bonds. CHH was self-assembled with mitochondria-targeting IR820 (T820), resulting in the formation of CHH-T/NPs. CHC and T820 disrupted cellular metabolism by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibiting lactate transport, leading to a synergistic inhibition of cancer cell stemness. Simultaneously, HCQ effectively inhibited autophagy to disrupt the self-protection mechanism of CRC cells. As anticipated, CHH-T/NPs effectively suppressed the chemoresistance and postoperative recurrence of CRC in subcutaneous and in situ tumors models. Taken together, this approach presents a promising strategy for overcoming CRC chemoresistance and recurrence through the synergistic inhibition of cancer cell stemness.
