Project description:Chromosomal instability (CIN) is the hallmark of colorectal adenoma to carcinoma progression in 85% of cases, with 20q gain as the most prominent aberration. Yet, the oncogenes at this chromosomal gain are still largely unknown. Here, we aimed to identify oncogenes at 20q involved in colorectal adenoma to carcinoma progression by measuring the effect of 20q gain on gene expression in this amplicon. Segmentation of DNA copy number changes on 20q was performed by array CGH in 67 colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. Additionally, robust analysis of mRNA expression in these segments was performed in 68 adenomas and carcinomas. This approach revealed seven genes to be important in CIN related adenoma to carcinoma progression. These genes may both serve as highly specific biomarkers for presence of high-risk precursor lesions as well as potential targets for pharmaceutical intervention. Keywords: Integration of array CGH and expression microarrays in colorectal cancer progression We performed array CGH on a panel of 41 progressed adenomas, from which the adenoma and carcinoma components were separately analysed (total, 82 samples). The DNA obtained from these samples was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material. Additionally we analysed a series of independent frozen adenomas and carcinomas by array CGH (34 adenomas and 33 carcinomas) and expression microarrays (37 adenomas and 31 carcinomas). For array-CGH we used as reference DNA for all samples, a pool of 10 normal individuals. For expression microarrays we used as reference a commercial available RNA (pool of different cancer cell lines), from Strategene. No replicates nor dye swaps were done.

Project description:Colorectal cancer often develops slowly from adenoma. In this study, we aimed to identify the oncogenes involved in the progression of colorectal adenoma to carcinoma by Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics. Protein expression changes were compared by TMT-based quantitative mass spectrometry in seven paired samples of normal mucosa, adenoma and carcinoma. Moreover, a bioinformatics analysis of differential protein expression was performed to screen for oncogenes. Effects of oncogene knockdown on cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion were analyzed in colorectal cancer cell lines. Effects of oncogene overexpression on cell viability and proliferation were analyzed in adenoma organoids. The protein UTP18 was consistently upregulated in the normal-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. UTP18 downregulation was shown to inhibit colorectal cancer cell viability, proliferation, migration and invasion. UTP18 overexpression promoted adenoma organoid viability and proliferation. UTP18 facilitated the expression of MYC and impaired expression of the tumor-suppressor p21. Our data revealed the importance of UTP18 as an effector in the progression of adenoma to carcinoma. Thus, UTP18 is implicated as a highly specific biomarker for early diagnosis of progressive adenomas.

Project description:Colorectal adenomas are common precancerous lesions with the potential for malignant transformation to colorectal adenocarcinoma. Endoscopic polypectomy provides an opportunity for cancer prevention, however, recurrence rates are high. We collected formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue of fourteen primary adenomas with recurrence, fourteen primary adenomas without recurrence, and fourteen matched pair samples (primary adenoma and the corresponding recurrent adenoma). These samples were analysed by array-based comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) to understand the dynamics of copy number alterations (CNAs) and to identify molecular markers to predict recurrence. ACGH analysis confirmed the genetic landscape specific for colorectal tumorigenesis, i.e., CNAs of chromosomes 7 (13.7%), 13q (13.7%), 18 (5.8%) and 20q (13.7%). CNAs were detected in 41/51 (80.4%) of colorectal adenomas (2N). Focal aberrations (≤10 Mbp) were mapped to chromosome bands 6p22.1-p21.33 (33.3%), 7q22.1 (31.4%) and 16q21 (29.4%). Gains of CDX2 were exclusively seen in adenomas with recurrence compared to adenomas without recurrence. However, the average number of copy alterations failed to discriminate primary adenomas with recurrence from primary adenomas without recurrence.

Project description:Approximately two decades ago, Vogelstein and Fearon proposed the adenoma-carcinoma sequence of sporadic CRC development and illustrated the accumulation of genetic alterations during the stepwise progression, thereby providing a guideline for clinical practice. Although the detection and excision of precancerous lesions could prevent colorectal cancer and reduce mortality, 6% of adenomas will ultimately develop into colorectal cancer. Thus, this genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis may not completely reflect the complex essence of the disease and whether the mode of initiation of the events in the multistep progression affects the outcome of CRC is still unknown. In this study, mRNA and miRNA expression profiling was performed with human colorectal tissues, including normal mucosa, adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Then, an integrated approach was adopted to establish the regulatory interaction networks that were correlated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Finally, a 55-gene signature whose expression was down-regulated in precancerous lesions compared to normal tissue was identified as a potential early indicator of CRC survival. The results suggested that genes related to immunity and homeostasis played a critical role in protection against adenoma initiation and that the altered molecular events that influence colorectal cancer prognosis may be set in an early, precancerous stage. Four types of human colorectal tissues were selected by colonoscopic resection or colorectal surgery, including 12 normal mucosae, 21 low-grade adenomas (mild or moderate atypical hyperplasia), 30 high-grade adenomas (severe atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma in situ) and 25 adenocarcinomas. Gene expression profiling analysis of these samples was performed using Agilent 4x44K human whole genome gene expression microarray (G4112F).

Project description:Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard treatment for rectal cancer, while transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a recently introduced surgical approach for the treatment of rectal adenomas. Incorrect preoperative staging before TEM is a problem. To identify genetic changes that might correlate with tumour stage and could lead to optimized treatment selection we performed a genome-wide chromosomal instability search in a homogeneous, clinical cohort of rectal tumours. 78 rectal tumours during different clinical stages were analysed with 10K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays. Logistic regression was performed to build a quantitative model of specific chromosomal aberrations. Overall, most cases (95%) had one or more chromosomal aberrations. We observed a clear correlation between the total number of aberrations and the different tumour stages. Specifically, the chromosomal events: gain of 8q22â24, 13q and 20q, and loss of 17p and 18q12â22, were far more abundant in carcinoma than in adenoma. In adenoma fractions from cases with a carcinoma (infiltrating at least in the submucosa), twice the amount of such âmalignant aberrationsâ was observed, compared to pure adenomas. Furthermore, combined aberrations such as gain of 13q and loss of 18q were only found in adenomatous fractions of carcinomas and not in benign lesions. Based on these five genomic events associated with carcinoma, a clear distinction between adenoma and carcinoma tissue could be made. These data should be validated further in order that they may be used in preoperative staging of rectal tumours. Experiment Overall Design: 78 tumor samples and 19 reference normal samples

Project description:Gain of chromosome arm 13q is one of the most prevalent DNA copy number alterations associated with colorectal adenoma-to-carcinoma progression. The oncogenic miR-17-92 cluster, located at 13q, was found to be overexpressed in colorectal cancer and in adenomas harboring 13q gain. However, to what extent overexpression of this group of microRNAs actually drives progression to cancer remains to be resolved. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the role of miR-17-92 cluster in the progression from colorectal adenoma to carcinoma.
In human colorectal adenoma organoids without 13q gain, the miR-17-92 cluster was overexpressed and downstream effects on mRNA expression investigated, along with functional effects in vitro and in vivo.
Comparison of mRNA sequencing results of organoids overexpressing miR-17-92 and cultures transduced with control vector, revealed a miR-17-92 expression signature. This signature appeared to be enriched in an independent series of colorectal cancers and adenomas tissues with 13q gain, confirming that miR-17-92 expression is associated with malignant progression. However, an increase in proliferation rate was not observed in miR-17-92 overexpressing adenoma organoids in vitro. In addition, subcutaneous injection of these organoids in immunodeficient mice was insufficient to cause tumor outgrowth.
Transfecting miR-17-92 cluster in human colon adenoma organoids induces an expression signature that proved to be enriched in both adenomas with 13q gain and in colorectal cancers, supporting its role as a driver of 13q gain. However, overexpression of miR-17-92 alone is not sufficient to transform colorectal adenoma cells into a malignant phenotype.
