Project description:The APC (Adenomatous Polyposis Coli) gene encodes a large multidomain protein that plays an integral role in the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. The loss-of-function mutation in APC is considered the earliest genetic alteration in the course of adenoma-carcinoma sequence of colorectal cancer progression, and the resulting constitutive activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is required for the maintenance of advanced colorectal cancer. In order to identify genes affected by loss of Apc function, we performed transcription profiling of mouse small intestinal tissues comparing polyps with normal mucosa of Apc+/Delta716 mice. We isolated total RNA from intestinal polyps and normal intestinal mucosa from 3 individual Apc+/Delta716 mice. Total RNA samples were then employed to perform microarray analysis (Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Microarray Ver. 2.0, 4x44K).

Project description:Background: Screening for the early detection of colorectal cancer is important to improve patient survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of circulating cell-free miRNAs as biomarkers of CRC, and their efficiency at delineating patients with polyps and benign adenomas from normal and cancer patient groups. Methods: The expression of 667 miRNAs was assessed in a discovery set of 48 plasma samples comprising normal, polyp, adenoma, and early and advanced cancer samples. Three miRNAs (miR-34a, miR-150, and miR-923) were further examined in a validation cohort of 97 subjects divided into the same five groups, and in an independent public dataset of 40 CRC samples and paired normal tissues. Results: High levels of circulating miR-34a and low miR-150 levels distinguished groups of patients with polyps from those with advanced cancer (AUC=0.904), and low circulating miR-150 levels separated patients with adenomas from those with advanced cancer (AUC=0.875). In addition, the altered expression of miR-34a and miR-150 in an independent public dataset of forty CRC samples and paired normal tissues was confirmed. Conclusion: We identified two circulating miRNAs capable of distinguishing patient groups with different diseases of the colon from each other, and patients with advanced cancer from benign disease groups.

Project description:Genetic and epigenetic alterations are a fundamental aspect of colorectal cancer formation. There is considerable heterogeneity between colorectal cancers regarding the mutations and methylated genes they carry, and this heterogeneity may arise early in the polyp-cancer sequence. However, our understanding of the epigenetic alterations and gene mutations in colon adenomas and their relation to colorectal cancer is incomplete. Thus, we have assessed the methylome in normal colon mucosa, tubular adenomas, and colorectal adenocarcinomas and have determined the relationship of these findings between adenomas and cancer in the colon. Genome-wide alterations in DNA methylation were found in the normal colon mucosa adjacent to colorectal cancer, tubular adenomas, and colorectal cancer. Three subgroups of CRCs and two subgroups of adenomas were identified on the basis of their DNA methylation patterns. The adenomas separated into a high-frequency methylation class (Adenoma-H) and a low-frequency methylation class. The adenoma-H polyps have a methylated DNA signature similar to non-CIMP CRCs, whereas those of the Adenoma-L class have a similar methylation pattern to normal colon mucosa. The CpGs that account for these signatures are located in intragenic/intergenic regions, which suggests that these two groups of adenomas arise from different stem cell populations.

Project description:Adenomatous polyps adjacent to colorectal cancer (CRC) were found to exhibit two distinct microRNAs (miRs) patterns from normal mucosa to low- and separately, to high-grade dysplasia; presence in screen-detected adenoma of non-cancer patients is unknown. Global miR expression was performed on biopsies obtained from 109 healthy patients undergoing screening/surveillance colonoscopy. Included were normal mucosa (NM); hyperplastic polyp (HP); tubular adenoma (TA), tubulovillous adenoma, with or without, high-grade dysplasia (TVHG) and serrated-polyps; sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) and traditional serrated adenoma (TSA). Logistic regression was used to model miRs predictive of histology and CRC risk. We identified 99 miRs that differed across five histologic groups (FDR=0.05) and that accurately separated on histology (Concordance Index (CI)=0.96). In HPNM, miRs-145, -143, -107a, -23b, and -24 were upregulated whereas miRs-663, -1268, -320b, -1275, and -671 where overexpressed in TVHGs (FDR P<0 .05). The expression of miR-145 and -30a showed high accuracy to separate low from high-risk polyps independent of serrated status (CI= 97.1%; AUC 93.4%). For TSAs, miR-125b and -199a were uniquely downregulated relative to HPNMs and miR-335 discriminated between non-serrated and serrated histology. Histologically advanced polyps from non-cancer patients share miR alterations with those reported for CRC and high-grade adenoma adjacent to tumor including downregulation of immune regulatory miRs-125 and -199a in TSAs; polyp that frequently present with in situ carcinoma. These data extend evidence that miR patterns of high-risk adenoma are detectable in subset of screen-detected adenoma for which measurement may be useful in in adenoma risk stratification.

Project description:Approximately two decades ago, Vogelstein and Fearon proposed the adenoma-carcinoma sequence of sporadic CRC development and illustrated the accumulation of genetic alterations during the stepwise progression, thereby providing a guideline for clinical practice. Although the detection and excision of precancerous lesions could prevent colorectal cancer and reduce mortality, 6% of adenomas will ultimately develop into colorectal cancer. Thus, this genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis may not completely reflect the complex essence of the disease and whether the mode of initiation of the events in the multistep progression affects the outcome of CRC is still unknown. In this study, mRNA and miRNA expression profiling was performed with human colorectal tissues, including normal mucosa, adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Then, an integrated approach was adopted to establish the regulatory interaction networks that were correlated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Finally, a 55-gene signature whose expression was down-regulated in precancerous lesions compared to normal tissue was identified as a potential early indicator of CRC survival. The results suggested that genes related to immunity and homeostasis played a critical role in protection against adenoma initiation and that the altered molecular events that influence colorectal cancer prognosis may be set in an early, precancerous stage.

Four types of human colorectal tissues were selected by colonoscopic resection or colorectal surgery, including 12 normal mucosae, 21 low-grade adenomas (mild or moderate atypical hyperplasia), 30 high-grade adenomas (severe atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma in situ) and 25 adenocarcinomas. Gene expression profiling analysis of these samples was performed using Agilent 4x44K human whole genome gene expression microarray (G4112F).
