Project description:Response to drug therapy in individual colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is associated with tumor biology. Here we describe the genomic landscape of tumor samples of a homogeneous well-annotated series of patients with metastatic CRC of two phase III clinical trials, CAIRO and CAIRO2. DNA copy number aberrations of 349 patients are determined. Within three treatment arms, 194 chromosomal sub-regions are associated with progression free survival PFS (uncorrected single-test p-values < 0.005). These sub-regions are filtered for effect on mRNA expression, using an independent data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) which returned 171 genes. Three chromosomal regions are associated with a significant difference in PFS between treatment arms with or without irinotecan. One of these regions, 6q16.1-q21, correlates in vitro with sensitivity to SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan. This genomic landscape of metastatic CRC reveals a number of DNA copy number aberrations associated with response to drug therapy. aCGH data of colorectal cancers of patients from 2 clinical trials (CAIRO, CAIRO2). 105 patients were treated with capecitabine first line (CAIRO arm A), 111 patients were treated with capecitabine and irinotecan first line (CAIRO arm B), and 133 patients were treated with capecitabine, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab (CAIRO2 arm A).

Project description:Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is associated with multiple somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs). We analyzed SCNAs to estimate overall survival (OS) and progression free suvival (PFS) for mCRC patients treated with bevacizumab in combination with oxaliplatin or irinotecan.

Project description:Advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) is an unresolved clinical problem. Epigenetic drugs belonging to the group of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) may combat CRC in rationally designed treatment schedules. Unfortunately, there is sparse evidence on molecular mechanisms and markers that determine cellular sensitivity to HDACi. Irinotecan is widely used to treat CRC and causes replication stress (RS) and DNA damage as topoisomerase-I inhibitor. We applied irinotecan and the class I HDACi entinostat (MS-275) to isogenic p53-positive and -negative CRC cells. Combinations of irinotecan and MS-275 evoke mitochondrial damage, caspase-mediated apoptosis, and RS-associated DNA damage synergistically and p53-dependently. Targeted mass spectrometry and immunoblot show that irinotecan induces phosphorylation, acetylation, and accumulation of p53 and its target genes. Addition of MS-275 augments the irinotecan-induced acetylation of C-terminal lysine residues of p53 but decreases its phosphorylation and p53 target gene induction. Furthermore, MS-275 increases the amount of acetylated p53 at mitochondria and dysregulates the expression of pro- and anti-apoptotic BCL2 proteins in irinotecan-treated cells. Regarding DNA repair, we see that MS-275 represses the homologous recombination (HR) filament protein RAD51, which limits DNA damage and pro-apoptotic effects of irinotecan. These data suggest that key class I HDAC-dependent functions of p53 in cells with RS are linked to mitochondrial damage and a breakdown of HR. Most importantly, combinations of irinotecan plus MS-275 also kill short-term primary CRC cell cultures and organoids from CRC patients but spare organoids of adjacent matched normal tissue. Thus, irinotecan/HDACi treatment is a promising new approach for the therapy of p53-proficient tumors with clinically tractable inhibitors.

Project description:Genomic abnormalities leading to colorectal cancer (CRC) include somatic events causing copy number aberrations (CNAs) as well as copy neutral manifestations such as loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and uniparental disomy (UPD). We studied the causal effect of these events by analyzing high resolution cytogenetic microarray data of 15 tumor-normal paired samples. We detected 144 genes affected by CNAs. A subset of 91 genes are known to be CRC related yet high GISTIC scores indicate 24 genes on chromosomes 7, 8, 18 and 20 to be strongly relevant. Combining GISTIC ranking with functional analyses and degree of loss/gain we identify three genes in regions of significant loss (ATP8B1, NARS, and ATP5A1) and eight in regions of gain (CTCFL, SPO11, ZNF217, PLEKHA8, HOXA3, GPNMB, IGF2BP3 and PCAT1) as novel in their association with CRC. Pathway analysis indicates TGF-β signaling pathway to be affected by the cytogenetic events causing CRC as evidenced by the action of genes impacted by CNAs on SMAD family of proteins. Finally, LOH and UPD collectively affected nine cancer related genes. Transcription factor binding sites on regions of >35% copy number loss/gain influenced 16 CRC genes. Our analysis shows patient specific CRC manifestations at the genomic level and that these different events affect individual CRC patients differently. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix CytoScanHD arrays was performed for 15 Tumors and 15 Adjacent Normals from Colorectal Tissue was used as reference for the study.

Project description:To determine the pattern of copy number alterations that characterizes Crohn’s disease associated colorectal carcinomas (CD-CRCs), we performed array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) of CD-CRCs. As control group, we used histomorphologically similar sporadic mucinous colorectal adenocarcinomas. To gain insight into the dynamics of copy number alterations in CD associated colorectal tumor development, we additionally analyzed non-dysplastic, i.e., normal or inflamed, mucosa samples and dysplastic lesions from CD-CRC patients by aCGH. This revealed the gain of chromosome arm 5p as a distinctive feature of CD related colorectal carcinogenesis, while the overall pattern of copy number changes in CD-CRC was similar to sporadic mucinous CRC, including gains of chromosomes and chromosome arms 7, 8, 13 and 20q, and losses of 5q, 8p, 17p and 18q.

Project description:Background & Aims: The metastatic process is complex and remains a major obstacle in the management of colorectal cancer (CRC). To gain a better insight into the biologic events driving the metastatic process we investigated genomic aberrations in a large cohort of matched CRC primaries and distant metastases from various sites. Methods: In total, 62 primary colorectal cancers, 62 matched normal specimens, and 68 matched metastases (from liver, lung, ovary, omentum, and distant lymph nodes) were analyzed by high resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) for DNA copy number changes. Findings were validated using a publicly available dataset consisting of 21 primary tumors and matched liver metastases. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to confirm some of the DNA copy number changes observed. Results: Overall patterns of DNA copy number aberrations were highly similar between primary tumors and their metastases, confirming clonality. Additional copy number aberrations in metastasis are rare and rather than recurrent they were sporadic for individual patients. The only recurrent differences between primary tumors and their metastases were two chromosomal regions, 6q21 and 8q24.21 encompassing the MYC oncogene, that coamplified in three metastases of two patients (3.2%). FISH analysis confirmed the high level co-amplification in the metastasis, which were not detected in their primary tumors. Conclusions: Primary CRC and their metastases show highly similar patterns of DNA copy number changes, additional copy number aberrations in metastasis are rare and recurrences exceptional. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that the metastatic potential is predestined early in the development of the primary tumor. In total, 62 primary colorectal cancers, 62 matched normal specimens, and 68 matched metastases (liver, lung, ovarian, omentum and distant lymph nodes) were analyzed by high resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH).

Project description:Purpose: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare cancer and consequently the number of clinical trials has been very limited due to the small numbers of patients. Chemotherapy regimens are currently rather arbitrarily chosen between either a colorectal (CRC) or a gastric cancer (GC) regimen. Chromosomal copy number aberrations are a hallmark of solid tumours and can be measured by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether genome-wide copy number aberrations of SBA are more similar to CRC or GC in order to support treatment of SBA according to either regimen. Experimental Design: A total of 85 GCs, CRCs and SBAs were selected from existing in house aCGH datasets based on array quality and clinical parameters. Differences and similarities in gains and losses of the three tumor types were analyzed using supervised and unsupervised analysis. Results: Hierarchical clustering revealed substantial overlap of chromosomal copy number profiles between SBA and CRC and less overlap between SBA and GC. Chromosome 13q13.2-q31.3 is primarily gained in SBA and CRC and the strongest feature discriminating SBA from GC. Further strong discriminating copy number characteristics are aberrations at chromosomes 1p36.3-p34.3, 4p15.3-q35.2, 9p24.3-p11.1 and 17p13.3-p13.2. Conclusions: SBA is more similar to CRC than to GC, based on genome-wide copy number aberrations. These data provide molecular support for treatment of SBA according to a CRC regimen.

Project description:Irinotecan, an analogue of camptothecin, is frequently used in combination with various anticancer drugs or as a single agent in treatment of colorectal cancer. But drug resistance of tumor is still a major obstacle to overcome for the success of cancer treatment. In this study, We established chronic irinotecan resistant cell line for new marker to increase the sensitivity to irinotecan and investigated gene expression profiles of the irinotecan-resistant colorectal cancer cell line. To create stable CRC cell line chronically resistant to Irinotecan, LoVo cell was exposed to an initial Irinotecan concentration of 0.1 M-NM-<mol/L in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FBS. When the growth of the cultured cells reaches at 80% confluency, cells were passaged twice at same drug concentration to ensure adaptation and then concentration of Irinotecan was sequentially increased in the same manner to 8 M-NM-<mol/L and then we investigated the gene expressions between parental colorectal cancer cell line, LoVo and Irinotecan resistant LoVo cell lines
