Gene expression analysis of colorectal tumors and matched adjacent non-tumor colorectal tissues.

ABSTRACT: We performed gene expression profiling of 26 colorectal tumors and matched histologically normal adjacent colonic tissue samples using the Illumina Ref-8 whole-genome expression BeadChip. We performed an integrated analysis of promoter DNA methylation and gene expression data to investigate the effects of DNA hypermethylation on gene expression. Total RNA was isolated from 26 pairs of fresh frozen colorectal tumor and matched adjacent non-tumor tissue samples. Their gene expression profiles were obtained using the Illumina Ref-8 whole-genome expression BeadChip (HumanRef-8 v3.0, 24,526 transcripts).

Project description:Gene expression profiling of 60 lung adenocarcinoma tumors and their matched histologically normal adjacent lung tissue samples were analyzed using Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 expression beadchip. We integrated these data with DNA methylation profiles of the same samples to identify potential DNA methylation regulated genes. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and adenocarcinoma is its most common histological subtype. Clinical and molecular evidence indicates that lung adenocarcinoma is a heterogeneous disease, which has important implications for treatment. Here we performed genome-scale DNA methylation profiling using the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation27 platform on 59 matched lung adenocarcinoma/non-tumor lung samples, with genome-scale verification on an independent set of tissues. We identified 766 genes showing altered DNA methylation between tumors and non-tumor lung. By integrating DNA methylation and mRNA expression data, we identified 164 hypermethylated genes showing concurrent downregulation, and 57 hypomethylated genes showing increased expression. Integrated pathways analysis indicates that these genes are involved in cell differentiation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, RAS and WNT signaling pathways and cell cycle regulation, among others. Comparison of DNA methylation profiles between lung adenocarcinomas of current and never-smokers showed modest differences, identifying only LGALS4 as significantly hypermethylated and downregulated in smokers. LGALS4, encoding a galactoside-binding protein involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, was recently shown to be a tumor-suppressor in colorectal cancer. Unsupervised analysis of the DNA methylation data identified two tumor subgroups, one of which showed increased DNA methylation and was significantly associated with KRAS mutation and to a lesser extent, with smoking. Our analysis lays the groundwork for further molecular studies of lung adenocarcinoma by providing new candidate DNA methylation biomarkers for early detection, identifying novel molecular alterations potentially involved in lung adenocarcinoma development/progression, and describing an epigenetic subgroup of lung adenocarcinoma associated with KRAS mutation. 58 lung adenocarcinoma and 58 adjacent non-tumor lung fresh frozen tissues were macrodissected, and total RNA was isolated to be analyzed using the Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 expression beadchip.
