ABSTRACT: To find out which mRNAs are significantly differential expression and potentially involved in the process of inflammation promoting carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). We established a colitis-associated CRC (AOM/DSS, Azoxymethane/Dextran sulfate sodium salt) model, colitis (DSS) model and high dose carcinogen (AOM, about 5 times AOM amount given than AOM/DSS model) model. At day 100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice (colitis-associated CRC mice) but no tumor was found in AOM (high dose carcinogen) and DSS model, we employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to involve in the progression of CRC promoted by inflammation. 5-7 weeks female BALB/c mice, (1) AOM/DSS group: AOM 12.5mg/kg i.p. at day 1, DSS drinking 5d/21dx3circles from day 5; (2) AOM group: AOM 10mg/kg i.p. 1/weekx6 from day 1; (3) DSS group: DSS drinking 5d/21dx3circles from day 5. The distal colon epithelial tissues were collected at day100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice. The whole genome microarray expression profiling experiments were performed together.

Project description:Nonresolving inflammation is correlated to carcinogenesis. Ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC), one of the typical carcinoma generated by inflammation that cannot be resolved properly, has been widely believed to involve a multistep process contains M-bM-^@M-^\inflammation-dysplasia-cancerM-bM-^@M-^] sequence. The exact molecular mechanisms underlying the step-wise development of UC-CRC is still not fully understood. Detecting the changes in gene expression profiles may help to reveal why and how does the prolonged inflammatory response lead to carcinogenesis, and to characterize potential diagnostic/prognostic markers or additional therapeutic targets for UC-CRC. There for, we performed temporal genome expression profiling analysis using the Affymetrix genome wide microarray system to identify broad scale changes in gene expression associated with the development of colitis-associated cancer, based on an AOM/DSS induced mouse model of UC-CRC. 6-week-old male ICR mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of AOM (10mg/kg) at Day 1, followed by three cycles of DSS administration (cycle 1: 2%, Day 8~14; cycle 2: 1.5%, Day 29~33; cycle 3: 1.5%, Day 50~54) in the drinking water. Instead, control group of mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection of saline (10mg/kg) at Day 1 and distilled water drinking from the beginning to the end without DSS. Colorectal tissues were collected at days 14, 28, 42, 56 and 140 (at the end of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 20th week) from the AOM/DSS group and at day 14 from the control group. Pathological changes of each sample were identified under microscope. Samples collected at the end of the 2nd week were inflamed mucosae, the 4th week were low grade dysplasias, the 6th week were high grade dysplasias, the 8th week were high grade dysplasias with active inflammation, the 20th week were carcinomas, and the control sample were normal mucosae. Total RNA were extracted and detected by Affymerix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array.
Project description:Genome-wide methylation analysis was performed by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP)-CpG island (CGI) microarray analysis to identify candidate CGIs specifically methylated in mouse colon tumors associated with colitis. We sucessfully identified 23 candidate CGIs methylated in tumors. Two samples were analyzed by MeDIP-CGI microarray. One is a pool of two AOM/DSS-induced colon tumors in BALB/c mice and another is a pool of two normal colonic epithelial cell samples obtained from untreated BALB/c mice by the crypt isolation technique. The pool of normal colonic epithelial cell samples was used as reference. Dye-swaps were not perfromed. The methylation statuses of CGIs identified by microarray were confirmed by another method, methylation-specific PCR.
Project description:Inflammation has pleiotropic effects on carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Signaling through the adaptor protein MyD88 promotes carcinogenesis in several chemically induced cancer models. Interestingly, we observed a protective role for MyD88 in the development of AOM/DSS colitis-associated cancer. The inability of Myd88-/- mice to heal ulcers generated upon injury creates an inflammatory environment that increases the frequency of mutations and results in a dramatic increase in adenoma formation and cancer progression. Susceptibility to colitis development and enhanced polyp formation were also observed in Il18-/- mice upon AOM/DSS treatment, suggesting that the phenotype of MyD88 knockouts is in part due to their inability to signal through the IL-18 receptor. This study revealed a previously unknown level of complexity surrounding MyD88 activities downstream of different receptors that differentially impact tissue homeostasis and carcinogenesis. The Myd88 knockout mice were backcrossed to obtain at least 98% congenicity to B6NCr background. As control groups, wild type mice of identical background were used. Ten biological repeats were performed for the treated wild type and Myd88 samples. Six biological repeats were performed for the untreated wild type and Myd88 samples.
Project description:Purpose : The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of colon samples of intestinal epithelial cell specific Axin1 Knockout mice and WT controls that were submitted to DSS-induced colitis and AOM/DSS-induced colorectal carcinogenesis. Methods : DSS-induced colitis was performed on Axin1flfl (WT) and Vil CreERT2;Axin1fl/fl (Axin1KOΔIEC) mice by giving 3% DSS dissolved in drinking water for 7 days and subsequently placed on regular water for recovery before sacrifice at Day 7 and D13. Methods : AOM/DSS-induced colorectal tumorigenesis was performed on Axin1flfl (WT) and Vil CreERT2;Axin1fl/fl (Axin1KOΔIEC) mice that were sacrificed at day 100 post-AOM injection to collect colorectal tumors. Methods : Colonic mRNA profiles of WT and Axin1KOΔIEC mice were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina NextSeq 500 instrument (150base-lengths read V2 chemistry in a paired-end mode)

Project description:Primary cilia (PC) are important signaling hubs in cells and we explored their role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and colitis. In the colon we found PC to be mostly present on different subtypes of fibroblasts and exposure of mice to either chemically induced colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis (CAC) or dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced acute colitis decreased PC numbers. We employed conditional knock-out strains for the PC essential genes, Kif3A and Ift88, to generate mice with reduced numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts. These mice showed an increased susceptibility in the CAC model as well as in DSS-induced colitis. Secretome and immunohistochemical analyses of DSS-treated mice displayed an elevated production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in PC-deficient colons. An inflammatory environment diminished PC presence in primary fibroblast cultures. This was triggered by IL-6 as identified by RNAseq analysis together with blocking experiments, suggesting an activation loop between IL-6 production and PC loss. Notably, an analysis of PC presence on biopsies of patients with ulcerative colitis as well as CRC patients revealed decreased numbers of PC on colonic fibroblasts in pathological versus surrounding normal tissue. Taken together, we provide evidence that a decrease in colonic PC numbers promotes colitis and CRC.
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are using transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to evaluate the effects of anti-S100a9 antibody on the global transcriptome of the colon tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse model (a model that mimics the human colitis-associated colon cancer development). Methods: 36 five-week-old male ICR mice were randomized divided into three groups: control (i.e. no AOM/DSS and antibody treatment), AOM/DSS+IgG Ab (1.5 mg/kg), and AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab (1.5 mg/kg). Mice were intraperitoneal injected with a single dose of 10 mg/kg azoxymethane (AOM) (A5486; Sigma) on day 1. One week after the AOM injection, mice were given three cycles of DSS (cycle 1: 2%, 7 days; cycle 2: 1.5%, 5 days; and cycle 3: 1.5%, 5 days, DSS: 36–50 kDa; MP Biomedicals, CA, USA) in their drinking water, and then distilled water until the end of the experiment. Antibodies were administrated intravenously every two days during the three cycles of DSS treatment. Mice were sequentially killed randomly at the end of the 18th week, and at least five mice were killed for each group at each time point. RNAs were extracted by Trizol and sequenced by Solexa high-throughput sequencing service (Oebiotech, Shanghai, China). Data were extracted and normalized according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol.Each group has three mices' colon tissues be tested. Results: Log-fold changes of up- or down-regulated mRNAs between the control and experiment group were selected with a significance threshold of p<0.05. There are 1017 mRNAs were up-regulated and 815 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+IgG Ab" group comparing to “control" group. There are 385 mRNAs were up-regulated and 163 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab" group comparing to “control" group. There are 1314 mRNAs were up-regulated and 968 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab" group comparing to “AOM/DSS+IgG Ab". Conclusions: Our study describes the global transciptome changes of colon tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse model induced by anti-S100a9 antibody treatment.
