Gene expression profiling of Barrett's esophagus, adenocarcinoma, esophageal squamous epithelium and squamous cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to generate and validate biomarkers to stratify patients with Barrett’s esophagus in terms of risk for developing cancer. We studied gene expression profiling in 69 frozen specimens, consisting of esophageal squamous epithelium from 19 healthy subjects, 20 specimens from patients with Barrett’s esophagus and 21 cases of esophageal adenocarcinoma, 9 cased of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by whole genome microarray analysis. Laser capture microdissection technique was applied to procure cells from defined regions of Barrett’s esophagus metaplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Microarray results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in an independent cohort consisting of 42 cases. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry was performed using antibodies to two selected target molecules on a third independent cohort of 36 specimens, consisting of 36 cases. A total of 1176 genes were associated significantly with esophageal adenocarcinoma. The expression pattern of a 4 gene signature with the highest discriminant score based on linear discriminant analysis (GeneSpring GX10.2), was identified and validated by qRT-PCR in independent cohort.

Paired non-cancerous and cancerous miRNA expression of esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma patients

Project description:Identifying biomarkers predictive for early esophageal cancer detection is critical considering the dismal survival rates. We investigated the involvement of microRNAs (miRNAs), their utility as biomarkers, and their association with survival in esophageal cancer, including Barrett’s associated and sporadic adenocarcinoma (ADC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). MiRNA expression was measured in cancerous and adjacent non-cancerous tissue pairs collected from 76 US and Japanese patients enrolled in 3 distinct cohorts. In ADC patients, miR-21, miR-194, miR-293, and miR-223 expression was elevated, while miR-375 and miR-203 expression was reduced in cancerous tissue compared to non-cancerous tissue. Increased levels of miR-192 and miR-194 were observed in Barrett’s associated compared to sporadic ADC cancerous tissue. In SCC patients, miR-21, miR-181b, miR-155, and miR-146b expression was elevated while miR-375 and miR-203 levels were reduced in cancerous tissue compared to non-cancerous tissue. Significantly, elevated mir-21 expression in non-cancerous tissue was strongly associated with worse prognosis, independent of nodal status and age. Sample classification using miRNA expression yielded accuracies as high as 86% for diagnosis and 78% for Barrett’s esophagus status. Our results highlight that miRNAs are deregulated in esophageal carcinogenesis and Barrett’s esophagus, and that their expression is associated with survival in cancer patients. Sample classification using miRNA expression demonstrates their potential utility as biomarkers for esophageal carcinoma diagnosis. MiRNA microarray expression was measured using miRNA microarray chips version 3 (Ohio State University) in 44 SCC cases and 32 ADC cases, of which 18 were also diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus.

Transformation of Barrett's esophagus stem cell, gastric cardia stem cells and normal esophagus stem cells

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus confers significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. We have established the cloning of patient-matched stem cells of Barrett’s, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Transplantation of transformed Barrett’s stem cells yielded tumors with hallmarks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, whereas transformed esophageal stem cells produced squamous cell carcinomas. These findings define a stem cell target in a precancerous lesion for preemptive therapies.

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

Project description: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.

Evolution of Barrett’s Esophagus through space and time at single-crypt and whole-biopsy levels [Batch 5 of 7]

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the squamous epithelium of the esophagus is replaced with a metaplastic crypt-structured epithelium and progresses to esophageal adenocarcinoma in a minority of cases. It is an ideal human system in which to study the evolutionary dynamics of progression. Previous results suggested that there is a low mutation rate in Barrett’s, based on measures of whole biopsies. However, it was unclear if this was due to a low mutation rate in crypts or a high mutation rate in crypts with a low clonal expansion rate. We used phylogenetic analyses to study copy-number alterations in the epithelium of 67 whole biopsies and 291 single crypts from those biopsies in 8 individuals with Barrett’s esophagus, including 4 cancer progressors. While crypts contained some private mutations, the mutation load and inferred mutation rate in crypts were similar to those in whole biopsies; the latter thus being a reasonable substrate for studies of the mutational process. Diversity between biopsies and within biopsies were strongly correlated. Mutations were more frequent near the gastro-esophageal junction and genomic instability appeared to precede genome doubling, leading to clonal expansions in two cases. This suggests that progression is driven by rare, carcinogenic alterations of large effect, rather than the gradual accumulation of many alterations of small effect, and explains why most patients with Barrett’s esophagus do not progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma. These results shed light on the evolutionary dynamics underlying neoplastic progression in Barrett’s esophagus. Batch 5 of 7
