Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients suffer from the second highest mortality among all cancer entities. In half of all CRC patients, colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM) can be observed. Metastatic colorectal cancer is associated with poor overall survival and limited treatment options. Even after successful surgical resection of the primary tumor, metachronous liver metastases occur in one out of eight cases. The only available curative intended treatment is hepatic resection, but metachronous CRLM frequently recur after approximately one year. In this study, we performed a proteome analysis of three recurrent liver metastases of a single CRC patient by mass spectrometry. Despite surgical resection of the primary CRC and adjuvant chemotherapy plus cetuximab treatment, the patient developed three metachronous CRLM which occurred consecutively after 9, 21 and 31 months. We identified a set of 1,132 proteins expressed in the three metachronous CRLM, of which 481 were differentially regulated, including 81 proteins that were associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM). 56 ECM associated proteins were identified as upregulated in the third metastasis, 26 (46%) of which were previously described as negative prognostic markers in CRC, including tenascin C, nidogen 1, fibulin1 and vinculin. These data may reflect an ascending trend of malignancy from the first to the third metachronous colorectal cancer liver metastasis. Additionally, the results indicate different ECM phenotypes for recurrent metachronous metastasis, associated with different grades of malignancy and highlights the importance of individual analysis of molecular features in different, consecutive metastatic events in a single patient.

Project description:Almost half of all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer develop liver metastases. The potential role of intra-individual metastatic heterogeneity remains poorly characterized. By high-resolution DNA copy number analyses and a novel approach based on pair-wise genetic distance, we examined the genetic heterogeneity among multiple liver metastatic deposits obtained from 45 patients subject to curative liver resection. We found large variation in intra-individual metastatic heterogeneity. A high level of heterogeneity was associated with poor patient survival. Patients with metachronous metastases who received chemotherapy had significantly more heterogeneity than chemonaïve patients.

Project description:In this study we aimed to explore the molecular landscape of hepatic metastases and adjacent tissue in order to delineate a potential molecular signature that may be predictive for clinical benefit of CRCLM resection. Consecutive patients who underwent CRCLM resection between 2008 and 2015 at RMC, and for whom pathological specimen was available were included in the study. Cases were divided into two cohorts based on the interval between resection of liver metastases and disease recurrence- patients with less than 12-month interval were defined as ×´poor prognosis×´ (PP) and patients with more than 12 months as ×´good prognosis×´ (GP). Clinical data was retrieved from the medical records. Proteomic analysis was performed on the pathological bio specimen and correlated to demographics and clinical outcomes. Fifty-eight patients were included in the study. 29 in the GP cohort and 29 in the PP cohort. Proteomic analysis of the two-cohort revealed 99 proteins that were 38 differentially expressed, about a third of them associate with the extracellular matrix (ECM) pathways as the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).

Project description:BACKGROUND: While many authorities theorize that cancer vaccines are too weak to be widely effective, there are quite a few reports with clearly demonstrated, significant clinical benefit in some patients. The literature of cellular cancer immunotherapies shows that 53% (78/147) of phase II studies showed evidence of clinical activity. While not all reached their primary endpoints, 75% (12/16) of phase III studies had positive data. SV-BR-1-GM, derived from a patient with grade 2 (moderately differentiated) breast cancer, is a GM-CSF-secreting breast cancer cell line with properties of antigen-presenting cells we established. METHODS: We report detailed molecular and clinical findings from an open-label phase I, single-arm pilot study in breast (3 subjects) and ovarian (1 subject) cancer with irradiated SV-BR-1-GM cells (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT00095862). Inoculations of SV-BR-1-GM were preceded by low-dose cyclophosphamide and followed by injections of interferon-alpha2b into the SV-BR-1-GM inoculation sites. We assessed both cellular (delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions) and humoral (anti-SV-BR-1 antibody) immune responses and conducted molecular analyses on patient blood cells and SV-BR-1-GM cells. RESULTS: Treatment was generally safe and well tolerated. Immune responses were elicited universally. Overall survival was more than 33 months for three of the four patients. As previously reported, one patient (Subject A002, with grade 2 breast cancer) had regression of metastases in lung, breast and soft tissue within 2 months of treatment initiation. At later relapse, with multiple metastases including several in the brain, rapid tumor response was again seen, including complete regression of CNS metastases. Consistent with a role of Class II HLA in contributing to SV-BR-1-GM’s mechanism of action, Subject A002 allele-matched SV-BR-1-GM at the HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DRB3 loci. Only the HLA-DRB1 alleles were clearly expressed in SV-BR-1-GM cells. However, interferon-gamma (possibly also present in situ) upregulated both HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DRB3 to substantial levels. Gene expression data supports the hypothesis that SV-BR-1-GM cells have retained some of the original breast cancer’s grade 2 character. CONCLUSIONS: We describe a whole-cell immunotherapy regimen with remarkable rapidity of response and a speedy rescue response, including complete resolution of CNS metastases after relapse. Class II HLA matches might be critical for SV-BR-1-GM’s therapeutic potential.

Project description:An improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of brain metastases, one of the most common and devastating complications of advanced melanoma, may identify and prioritize rational therapeutic approaches for this disease. In particular, the identification of molecular differences between brain and extracranial metastases would support the need for the development of organ-specific therapeutic approaches. Hotspot mutations, copy number variations (CNV), global mRNA expression patterns, and protein expression and activation, quantitatively analyzed by molecular inversion probe arrays, microarrays and reverse phase protein array (RPPA) were evaluated in pairs of melanoma brain metastases and extracranial metastases from patients who had undergone surgical resection for both types of tumors.

Seventy-two samples from 52 brain (except for patient 01, who had a spinal cord metastasis) and extracranial metastases of melanoma were analyzed. Available biological replicates (different parts of the same tumor) were included.

Project description:Liver metastases are associated with poor response to current pharmacological treatments, including immunotherapy. We describe a lentiviral vector (LV) platform to selectively engineer liver macrophages, including Kupffer cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), to deliver type I interferon (IFNα) to liver metastases. Gene-based IFNα delivery delays the growth of colorectal and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma liver metastases in mice. Response to IFNα is associated with TAM immune activation, enhanced MHC-II-restricted antigen presentation and reduced exhaustion of CD8+ T cells. Conversely, increased IL-10 signaling, expansion of Eomes CD4+ T cells, a cell type displaying features of type I regulatory T (Tr1) cells, and CTLA-4 expression are associated with resistance to therapy. Targeting regulatory T cell functions by combinatorial CTLA-4 immune checkpoint blockade and IFNα LV delivery expands tumor-reactive T cells, attaining complete response in most mice. These findings support a promising therapeutic strategy with feasible translation to patients with unmet medical need.

Project description:Liver metastases are associated with poor cancer outcomes in many solid malignancies, but the factors influencing the trajectory of patients with liver metastases are poorly defined. It is known that liver metastases suppress systemic antitumor immunity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely described. We report that liver metastases promote disease progression in patients and preclinical models. Patients with liver metastases progress rapidly, regardless of primary tumor type. In multiple murine models, we find that liver metastases potentiate neutrophil migration and activity. Neutrophils licensed by liver metastasis augment metastatic colonization in an IL-1 dependent fashion. Thus, liver metastasis rewires systemic immunity to promote cancer progression. This work has implications for novel treatment strategies to address the poor clinical outcomes associated with liver metastasis.
