Transcriptomics analysis of paired tumor and normal mucosa samples in a cohort of patients with colon cancer, with and without T2DM.


ABSTRACT: This is a transcriptomics analysis contributing to a bigger project that tries to shed light on the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a risk factor for colon cancer (CC). Here we present a gene expression screening of paired tumor and normal colon mucosa samples in a cohort of 42 CC patients, 23 of them with T2DM. Using gene set enrichment, we identified an unexpected overlap of pathways over-represented in diabetics compared to non-diabetics, both in tumor and normal mucosa, including diabetes-related metabolic and signaling processes. An integration with other -omic studies suggests that in diabetics, the local micro-environment in normal colon mucosa may be a factor driving field cancerization which may promote carcinogenesis. Several of these pathways converged on the tumor initiation axis TEAD/YAP-TAZ. Cell culture studies confirmed that high glucose concentrations upregulate this pathway in non-tumor colon cells. In conclusion, diabetes is associated to deregulation of cancer-related processes in normal colon mucosa adjacent to tissue which has undergone a malignant transformation. These data support the existence of the field of cancerization paradigm in diabetes and set a new framework to study link between diabetes and cancer.
