HOXA13 in etiology and oncogenic potential of Barrett’s esophagus [BAR-T]

ABSTRACT: Barrett’s esophagus in gastrointestinal reflux patients constitutes a columnar epithelium with distal characteristics, prone to progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma. HOX genes are known mediators of position-dependent morphology. Here we show HOX collinearity in the adult gut while Barrett’s esophagus shows high HOXA13 expression in stem cells and their progeny. HOXA13 overexpression appears sufficient to explain both the phenotype (through downregulation of the epidermal differentiation complex) and the oncogenic potential of Barrett’s esophagus. Intriguingly, employing a mouse model that contains a reporter coupled to the HOXA13 promotor we identify single HOXA13-positive cells distally from the physiological esophagus, which is mirrored in human physiology, but increased in BE. Additionally, we observe that HOXA13 expression confers a competitive advantage to cells. We thus propose that Barrett’s esophagus and associated esophageal adenocarcinoma is the consequence of expansion of this gastro-esophageal HOXA13-expressing compartment following epithelial injury.

Cloning Barrett’s esophagus stem cells

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus is a precancerous lesion that confers a significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Strategies for selective eradication of Barrett’s have been stymied by our inability to identify the Barrett’s stem cell. Here we employ novel technologies to clone patient-matched stem cells of Barrett’s, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Genomic analyses of Barrett’s stem cells reveal a patient-specific mutational spectrum ranging from low somatic variation similar to patient-matched gastric epithelial stem cells to ones marked by extensive heterozygous alteration of genes implicated in tumor suppression, epithelial planarity, and epigenetic regulation. Transplantation of transformed Barrett’s stem cells yields tumors with hallmarks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, whereas transformed esophageal stem cells yield squamous cell carcinomas. Thus Barrett’s develops from cells distinct from local eponymous epithelia, emerges without obvious driver mutations, and likely progresses through and from the generation of dominant clones. These findings define a stem cell target for preemptive therapies of a precancerous lesion.

Esophageal tissue and serum microRNAs changed in the progression of Barrett’s esophagus in mice

Project description:Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for the early detection of cancers. This assay aimed to address potential circulating miRNAs to monitor the progression from Barrett’s esophagus to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).

Alteration of protein expression and spliceosome pathway activity during Barrett’s carcinogenesis.

Project description:Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a common and aggressive type of cancer and Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a known precursor lesion and the strongest risk factor for EAC. Prediction of risk is currently based on histologic examination which is challenged by problems such as inter-observer variability due to high heterogeneity of the dysplastic tissue. Molecular markers might offer an additional way to understand carcinogenesis and improve diagnosis and eventually treatment. .

Bile acids promote adenocarcinoma in a novel transgenic mouse model of Barrett’s esophagus

Project description:Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has the fastest increase of any cancer in the US and Europe, and arises in the setting of Barrett’s esophagus (BE), defined by replacement of normal squamous epithelium with columnar intestinal-like epithelium. BE is thought to result from chronic esophageal inflammation but has been elusive to model in animals. Herein, we have generated the first transgenic mouse model of Barrett’s esophagus through overexpression of interleukin-1ß (IL-1β). IL-1β overexpression in the mouse esophageal mucosa induces chronic inflammation that progresses to intestinal metaplasia, with characteristic expression of TFF2, Bmp4 and Cdx2. With aging, IL-1b transgenic mice progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) but the process is markedly accelerated by exposure to bile acids and/or nitrosamines, resembling the human counterpart. Moreover, progenitor cells present in the gastric cardia, but absent from the esophagus in humans and mice, are increased in BE, suggesting the cell of origin in the gastric cardia

Profiling of circulating microRNAs in patients with Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma

Project description:miRNAs were extracted from plasma samples of healthy volunteers, patients with Barrett’s esophagus and patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. We used the Serum / Plasma Focus miRNA PCR panel (Exiqon, Denmark) to quantitate miRNA presence in the different patient groups.
