Abstract
Oncogenic transformation of colorectal cancer cells is driven by a set of mutations that cause aberrant signaling of growth factor-receptor pathways. Using organoids, we demonstrate that the most frequent driver mutations in APC, KRAS, SMAD4, and TP53 are enhancers of the global mRNA translational capacity, which is linked to intestinal cell growth in an mTOR-dependent manner.Entities:
