Immune profiles of early onset vs late onset colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT: Despite a decrease in the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) over the last 40 years, the incidence of CRC in people under 50 years old is increasing around the globe. Early onset (50 years old) and late onset (65 years old) CRC appear to have differences in their clinicopathological and genetic features, but it is unclear if there are differences in the tumor microenvironment. We hypothesized that the immune microenvironment of early onset CRC is distinct from late onset CRC and promotes tumor progression. We used Nanostring immune profiling to analyze mRNA expression of immune genes in FFPE surgical specimens from patients with early (N=40) and late onset (N=39) CRC. We found three genes, SAA1, C7, and CFD, have increased expression in early onset colorectal cancer and distinct immune signatures based on the tumor location. After adjusting for clinicopathological features, increased expression of CFD and SAA1 were associated with worse progression free survival and increased expression of C7 was associated with worse overall survival. We also performed gain of function experiments with CFD and SAA1 in subcutaneous tumor murine models and found that CFD is associated with higher tumor volumes, impacted several immune genes and impacted three genes in mice that were also found to be differentially expressed in early onset CRC (EGR1, PSMB9, CXCL9). Our data demonstrate that the immune microenvironment, characterized by a distinct innate immune response signature in early onset CRC, is unique, location dependent, and might contribute to worse outcomes.

Gene expression comparison of colorectal cancer samples from patients diagnosed at a young and elderly age

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence increases with age and early onset of the disease is an indication of genetic predisposition, estimated to cause up to 30 % of all CRC cases. To identify genes associated with an increased risk for CRC, genome-wide gene expression levels of CRCs from patients diagnosed at an early age and CRCs from patients diagnosed at higher age were investigated. Patients with known hereditary predisposition syndromes were excluded from the study. Twenty four patients were diagnosed at a young age (mean, 43 years; range, 28-53 years), referred to as the early onset group. They were excluded from the HNPCC and FAP syndromes by clinical criteria and no other cancer syndromes were recorded for these patients. The second group consisted of 17 patients with primary diagnosis at old age (mean, 79 years; range, 69-87 years), referred to as the late onset group. The samples from the late onset group were selected to reflect the composition of the early onset group with respect to gender, tumor localization and tumor stage according to The International Union Against Cancer (UICC)/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC). Microsatellite instability (MSI) status was previously analyzed in all samples to eliminate the potential risk of including patients with inherited DNA repair deficiencies.

Age-Associated Proteomic Hallmarks and Potential Clinically Actionable Targets of Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most frequent cancer usually occurring in elderly persons. However, the molecular characteristics of old-onset CRC remain largely unknown. Here we performed proteomic profiling from 52 CRC tumors and their paired non-cancerous adjacent tissues and delineated the distinct molecular attributes and hallmarks of tumor progression in old-onset CRC patients over 60 years old. Then we screened out candidate proteins highly correlated with age in CRC patients through logistic regression algorithm. Besides comparative proteomic analysis of tumors and NATs revealed a catalog of age-associated proteins, including drug targets, oncogenes, transcription factors and tumor suppressors. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the CRC patients with high NHP2 expression had lower overall survival rate and the older persons had the worse the prognosis. Cell viability and clone formation experiments revealed that knockdown of NHP2 in HT29 and SW620 cell lines inhibited cell proliferation. Collectively, this study provides a deeper understanding of cancer biology leading to old-onset CRC, and identifies potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for old-onset CRC patients.

miRNA expression profile in 3 sporadic young-onset and 2 late-onset Indian colorectal carcinoma patients

Project description:Early-Onset Colorectal Carcinoma (EOCRC) is a growing concern as reports indicate a worldwide increase in the incidence of CRC among young adults (<50 years old). In an effort to understand the different mode of pathogenesis in young-onset CRC, we performed a pilot study wherein we looked at colorectal tumors from both young (< 50 years old) and old patients (>55 years old) and screened them to eliminate tumors positive for Microsatellite Instability (MSI) and showing activation of the Wnt pathway, known canonical factors in CRC pathogenesis. RNA isolated from 3 EOCRC and 2 Late-Onset (LOCRC) tumors and paired normal tissues without MSI, nuclear β-catenin and APC mutations were sent for small RNA seq to identify miRNA alterations between the two subsets. Comparative analysis revealed differential expression of 23 miRNAs specific to EOCRC and 11 miRNAs specific to LOCRC.

Analysis of of the ole of NOMO1 in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC)

Project description:Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC; age younger than 50 years) incidence has been steadily increasing over the last decades worldwide with causes unexplained. A unique molecular feature of EOCRC is that these cases harbor a greater incidence of Nodal Modulator 1 (NOMO1) somatic deletions compared with late-onset CRC. Yet the mechanisms of NOMO1 in early-onset colorectal carcinogenesis are currently unknown. Here we show that 50% of heterozygous NOMO1 deleted–EOCRCs presented pathogenic mutations in this gene, suggesting that NOMO1 can be inactivated by deletion or mutation in EOCRC. To study its role in EOCRC, CRISPR/cas9 technology was used to generate NOMO1 knockout HCT-116 (EOCRC) and HS-5 (bone marrow) cell lines. Loss of NOMO1 in these cell lines did not perturb Nodal pathway signaling. Results from expression microarray, RNA sequencing and protein expression analysis by LC-IMS/MS revealed that NOMO1 inactivation deregulates other signaling pathways independent of the Nodal pathway such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Importantly, NOMO1 inactivation increased the migration capacity of CRC cells. Additionally, a gut-specific conditional KO mouse model of NOMO1 revealed no subsequent tumor development in mice. Overall, these findings suggest that NOMO1 could not be a driver of early-onset colorectal carcinogenesis, but its loss promotes an increased migration capacity of CRC cells. Further study is warranted to explore other signaling pathways deregulated by the loss of NOMO1 that may play a relevant role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

MiRNA expression pattern in different prognosis of colon cancer patients

Project description:We measured the expression of human microRNAs in tumor cells derived from 8 FFPE samples among non-invasive CRC patients with different prognosis. Patients lived for more than 5 years after surgery were classified as good prognosis, and patients died within 5 years from surgery were classified as poor prognosis. Tumor tissues were macrodissected under the control HE staining slides. And there were at least 75 percent cancer cells in the samples. MicroRNA microarray was used to measure the expression of human miRNAs in tumor cells derived from 8 FFPE samples among early stage CRC patients with different prognosis.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptome analysis reveals the cellular heterogeneity of liver metastatic colorectal cancer

Project description:In this study, we comprehensively charted the cellular landscape of colorectal cancer (CRC) and well-matched liver metastatic CRC using single-cell and spatial transcriptome RNA sequencing. We generated 41892 CD45- non-immune cells and 196473 CD45+ immune cells from 27 samples of 6 CRC patients, and found that CD8_CXCL13 and CD4_CXCL13 subsets increased significantly in liver metastatic samples that exhibited high proliferation ability and tumor-activating characterization, contributing to better prognosis of patients. Distinct fibroblast profiles were observed in primary and liver metastatic tumors. The F3+ fibroblasts enriched in primary tumors contributed to worse overall survival by expressing pro-tumor factors. However, the MCAM+ fibroblasts enriched in liver metastatic tumors might promote generation of CD8_CXCL13 cells through Notch signaling. In summary, we extensively analyzed the transcriptional differences of cell atlas between primary and liver metastatic tumors of CRC by single-cell and spatial transcriptome RNA sequencing, providing different dimensions of the development of liver metastasis in CRC

SAA1-dependent reprogramming of adipocytes by tumor cells is associated with triple negative breast cancer aggressiveness

Project description:Cancer development and progression depend on tumor cell intrinsic factors, the tumor microenvironment and host characteristics. Despite the identification of the plasticity of adipocytes, the primary breast stromal cells, both in physiology and cancer, we lack a complete understanding of mechanisms that regulate adipocyte-tumor cell crosstalk. Here we dissected the breast cancer crosstalk with adipocytes and studied relevant molecules. We identified that the ability of breast cancer cells to dedifferentiate adipocytes is intrinsic subtype-dependent, with all breast cancer subtypes, except for HER2+ER+ subtype, capable of inducing this phenomenon. Crosstalk between breast cancer cells and adipocytes in vitro increased cancer stem-like features and recruitment of pro-tumorigenic immune cells, through chemokine production. Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) was in vitro identified as a regulator of the adipocyte dedifferentiation program in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) through CD36 and P2XR7 signaling. In human TNBCs, SAA1 expression was associated with CAA infiltration, inflammation, stimulated lipolysis, stem-like properties and distinct tumor immune microenvironment. Our findings provide evidence that interaction between tumor cells and adipocytes through SAA1 release is relevant to the aggressiveness of TNBC, potentially supporting its targeting.

Inflammation-induced acute phase response in skeletal muscle and critical illness myopathy

Project description:Objectives: Systemic inflammation is a major risk factor for critical-illness myopathy (CIM) but its pathogenic role in muscle is uncertain. We observed that interleukin 6 (IL-6) and serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) expression was upregulated in muscle of critically ill patients. To test the relevance of these responses we assessed inflammation and acute-phase response at early and late time points in muscle of patients at risk for CIM. Design: Prospective observational clinical study and prospective animal trial. Setting: Two intensive care units (ICU) and research laboratory. Patients/Subjects: 33 patients with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores ≥8 on 3 consecutive days within 5 days in ICU were investigated. A subgroup analysis of 12 patients with, and 18 patients without CIM (non-CIM) was performed. Two consecutive biopsies from vastus lateralis were obtained at median days 5 and 15, early and late time points. Controls were 5 healthy subjects undergoing elective orthopedic surgery. A septic mouse model and cultured myoblasts were used for mechanistic analyses. Measurements and Main Results: Early SAA1 expression was significantly higher in skeletal muscle of CIM compared to non-CIM patients. Immunohistochemistry showed SAA1 accumulations in CIM patients at the early time point, which resolved later. SAA1 expression was induced by IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human and mouse myocytes in vitro. Inflammation-induced muscular SAA1 accumulation could be reproduced in a sepsis mouse model. Conclusions: Skeletal muscle contributes to general inflammation and acute-phase response in CIM patients. Muscular SAA1 could be important for CIM pathogenesis. Trial registration: ISRCTN77569430. Expression analysis of patients with and without CIM (non-CIM) was performed. Date were quantile normalized using Partek Genomic Suite 6.5, RMA background correction, pre background adjustment for GC content and data were limited to the full dataset
