Project description:Expression profiling is a well established tool for the genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional activity of human neoplasia. However, the high sensitivity of this approach combined with the well-known cellular and molecular heterogeneity of cancer often result in extremely complex and extended expression signatures of difficult functional interpretation. The majority of sporadic colorectal cancer cases are triggered by mutations in the APC tumor suppressor gene leading to constitutive activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway and adenoma formation. Notwithstanding this common genetic basis, colorectal cancers are very heterogeneous in their degree of differentiation, growth rate and malignant potential. Here, we applied cross-species comparison of expression profiles of intestinal polyps derived from hereditary colorectal cancer patients carrying APC germline mutations, and from a mouse model carrying a targeted inactivating mutation in the mouse homologue Apc. This comparative approach resulted in the establishment of a conserved signature encompassing 166 genes differentially expressed between adenomas and normal intestinal mucosa in both species. Functional analysis of the conserved genes revealed a general increase in cell proliferation and the activation of the Wnt/b-catenin signal transduction pathway, as expected from the selection of APC/Apc-mutant intestinal adenomas. Moreover, the conserved signature is able to resolve expression profiles from hereditary polyposis patients carrying APC germline mutations from those with bi-allelic incativation of the MYH gene. Keywords: normal versus tumor comparison; compare expression profiles from microdissected samples with distinct germline mutations (FAP vs. MAP). Here, we report the expression profiles from normal and intestinal adenomatous tissue from FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) and MAP (MUTY-associated polyposis) patients with established APC and MUTY germline mutations. Total RNA samples were obtianed by laser capture microdissection.

Project description:Patients with germline APC mutations are recognized by hundreds of adenoma polyps in colon, which will give rise to adenocarcinoma inevitably. Over 700 germline APC mutations have been reported to be the leading cause of adenomatous polyposis. However, the underlying mechanism of APC mutation triggered colonic cancer remains mysterious. Here, using a modified STRT-seq protocol, we analyzed over 4000 single cells from the four matching adenomatous polyposis, adenocarcinoma, adjacent normal colon tissue and one lymphatic metastasis from four adenomatous polyposis patients with APC mutations. We identified the main cell types existed in human intestine such as B cells, mast cells, T cells, macrophage cells, endothelial cells, stromal cells and epithelial cells. And the proportional changes of various cell types during the development of adenoma were showed. The transcriptomic similarities and differences between adenoma, adenocarcinoma and adjacent normal tissue were comprehensively investigated. For better understanding the tumor progression process, we also take advantage of other genomic signatures, such as SNV and CNV. We found that the gene expression signatures of adenoma and adenocarcinoma were largely similar when compared with adjacent normal tissue. But the mutation accumulation was indeed observed during the progression from adenoma to adenocarcinoma. To summarized, our work will help us accurately investigate the pathogenic mechanism and heterogeneity of APC inactive mutation triggered colonic cancer, which will also help us better understand the non-familial colorectal cancers

Project description:Germline mutations in LKB1 predispose to hereditary Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS), manifesting with gastrointestinal polyposis. We discovered that conditional deletion of Lkb1 in stromal fibroblasts using Fsp1-Cre leads to expansion of stromal cells and gastrointestinal polyposis in mice. Here we have investigated gene expression signatures in the Fsp1-Cre;Lkb1fl/fl mouse polyps harbouring bi-allelic deletion of Lkb1 in stromal cells together with wild-type epithelium. We provide RNA-seq gene expression data of 6 polyps, 4 adjacent gastric mucosa samples and 5 wild-type gastric mucosa samples from littermate controls. Our experiment demonstrates e.g. activated cytokine signaling and inflammatory pathways in the polyps.

Project description:Tumor epithelial cells develop within a microenvironment consisting of extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines produced by non-epithelial stromal cells. In response to paracrine signals from tumor epithelia, stromal cells modify the microenvironment to promote tumor growth and metastasis. Here, we identify interleukin (IL)-33 as an epithelial cell-derived regulator of stromal cell activation and mediator of intestinal polyposis. IL-33 expression was elevated in the tumors and serum of colorectal cancer patients and induced in the adenomatous polyps of ApcMin/+ mutant mice. Genetic and antibody suppression of IL-33 signaling in ApcMin/+ mice inhibited proliferation, induced apoptosis, and suppressed angiogenesis in polyps, which reduced both tumor number and size. In ApcMin/+ polyps, IL-33 expression localized to tumor epithelial cells and expression of the IL-33 receptor, IL1RL1, associated with two stromal cell types, namely subepithelial myofibroblasts (SEMFs) and mast cells, whose activation was previously associated with polyposis. In vitro IL-33 stimulation of human SEMFs induced the expression of extracellular matrix components and growth factors associated with intestinal tumor progression. IL-33 deficiency reduced mast cell accumulation in ApcMin/+ polyps and expression of mast cell-derived proteases and cytokines known to promote polyposis. Together, our results suggest that IL-33 is a tumor epithelial cell-derived paracrine signal that promotes polyposis through the coordinated activation of stromal cells and the formation of a reactive stroma microenvironment.

Six T-75 flasks of CCD-18Co cells were grown to 80% confluency; three were treated with rhIL-33, three were given vehicle control; cells were trypsinized and split in two--half of each flask used for sequencing and half for qPCR validation post-sequencing

Project description:Details of the series are available in the publication Cardoso J. et al., âChromosomal instability in MYH- and APC-mutant adenomatous polypsâ, Cancer Research, accepted for publication. Abstract of the publication: âThe vast majority of colorectal cancers display genetic instability, either in the chromosomal (CIN) or microsatellite (MIN) forms. While CIN tumors are per definition aneuploid, MIN colorectal cancers, caused by loss of mismatch repair function, are usually near-diploid. Recently, bi-allelic germline mutations in the MYH gene, were found to be responsible for MAP (MYH associated polyposis), an autosomal recessive predisposition to multiple colorectal polyps, often indistinguishable from the dominant FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) syndrome caused by inherited APC mutations. Here, we analyzed MYH- and APC-mutant polyps by combining laser-capture microdissection, isothermal genomic DNA amplification, and array-CGH (comparative genomic hybridization). Smoothed quantile regression methods were applied to the MAP and FAP genomic profiles to discriminate chromosomes predominantly affected by gains and losses. Up to 80% of the MAP polyps showed aneuploid changes, which is significantly higher than the 60% found among FAP polyps. Both MAP and FAP adenomas were characterized by frequent losses at chromosome 1p, 17, 19 and 22, and gains affecting chromosome 7 and 13. The observation that aneuploidy is already detectable at early stages of MYH-driven tumorigenesis raises the possibility that CIN may contribute significantly to accelerated tumor progression, increased cancer risk, and poor prognosis in MAP.â Details of the series are available in the publication Cardoso J. et al., âChromosomal instability in MYH- and APC-mutant adenomatous polypsâ, Cancer Research, accepted for publication.

Project description:FAP is an autosomal-dominant inherited disease caused by germline mutations in the APC gene 1. Two major FAP phenotypes, CFAP and AFAP, can be distinguished based on polyp numbers and age of onset. CFAP is characterized by the presence of hundreds to thousands of polyps. About half of these patients develop adenomas by age 15, and 95% develop adenomas by age 35. AFAP patients exhibit a milder phenotype than CFAP patients; AFAP is characterized by fewer polyps, later adenoma onset, and lower CRC risk. We used microarrays to analyze chromosome abberation of organids established from FAP patients.
