Description

Park and co-authors identify a nucleolar protein that drives colorectal cancer growth in this 2026 study. The protein, NOP56, helps build the cell's protein factories. It had been tied to other cancers but not studied in colorectal tumors.

Tumor tissues carried far more NOP56 than nearby normal tissue, and high levels tracked with poor survival. Silencing the protein slowed cancer cell growth, colony formation, and migration, above all in cells with working p53. The silencing raised p53 levels and steadied it by curbing a removing enzyme. It also made the standard drug 5-fluorouracil kill more cells. In mouse grafts, tumors with silenced NOP56 grew much less.
