Proteogenomics of colorectal cancer liver metastases

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common and second most deadly cancer worldwide. Treatments for metastatic CRC (mCRC) are still largely based on toxic chemotherapy regimens, but important insights into tumor biology enabled the development of targeted cancer therapies. Here, we describe a proteogenomic analysis of CRC liver metastases (metastatic CRC, mCRC), an ideal setting to analyze therapeutic resistance which occurs in a short time frame. We selected liver metastases from two CRC patients on both of which we performed deep proteome profiling and WES and RNAseq-directed database searches, identifying 10 predicted muttaions, one of which was KRAS G12V. finding we generated targeted parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assays using stable isotope labelled standard (SIS) peptides to quantify the actual concentration (fmol per µg of total protein) of the mutated and canonical (wildtype) protein variants for 8 different mutations. We demonstrate on a total of 8 tumor and 6 paired healthy tissue samples (7 and 6 out of these KRASG12V) that PRM allows quantifying the actual mutation rate on the protein level from as little 10 µg of total protein starting amount and within a single 1 hour nano-LC-MS/MS run.

: Hotspot testing for activating KRAS mutations is used in precision oncology to select colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who are eligible for anti-EGFR treatment. However, even for KRASwildtype tumors anti-EGFR response rates are <30%, while mutated-KRAS does not entirely rule out response, indicating the need for improved patient stratification. We performed proteogenomic phenotyping of KRASwildtype and KRASG12V CRC live ...[more]

Project description:Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) relies on the detachment of aggressive malignant cells from the primary tumor into the bloodstream, these Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) being the principal source of the further metastasis. Here, we approached the massive molecular profiling of the CTC population isolated from mCRC patients. Clinically, the presence of CTC is associated with poor prognosis and there exists a clear necessity for more specific and efficient chemotherapies in the treatment of mCRC. Immunoisolation of CTC from these patients combined with a whole transcriptome amplification and hybridization onto gene expression arrays, lead us to specifically describe for the first time a CTC population with adhesive and migratory characteristics, in addition to a modulated expression of genes related to cell death and survival. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis provided with an armamentarium of highly specific and sensitive valuable markers that should impact on the management and follow-up of mCRC patients. Finally, molecular profiling of CTC resulted in the identification of new therapeutic targets, like TGF-Î²1 impairing, specifically targeting the CTC population which should improve the efficacy in the eradication and prevention of CRC metastasis. In conclusion, molecular profiling of CTC represents an innovative and promising approach in the clinical management of mCRC patients. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) were immunoisolated from six metastatic colorectal patients (mCRC). Moreover, blood from three healthy donors were obtained, immunoisolating non-specific cellularity background. RNA was extracted and globally amplified with a Whole Transcriptome Amplification system. Samples were hybridized onto agilent arrays and CTC specific genes were obtained. Gene networks were built with IPA software and a gene ontology analysis was performed. Eleven candidate genes were validated by real time PCR. Finally, TGFB1 was evaluated as a potential drugable target against CTC population.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most lethal cancers when it progresses to the advanced/metastatic stage. Treatment options for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective treatment methods for metastatic colorectal cancer. In this study, we screened a library of small molecules for inhibitors of CRC recurrence using CRC cell lines and patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from metastatic, heavily pretreated CRC. The in vivo efficacy of LS-1-2 was evaluated in the HCT116 and the resistant HCT8 cell lines, patient-derived xenografts(PDXs) including refractory mCRC, and a liver metastasis mouse model. Biotin pull-down and liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were performed to identify proteins that interact with LS-1-2. The genome-wide gene expression and quantitative phosphoproteomic analyses were performed to determine the signaling pathway involved in LS-1-2. Molecular docking, molecular dynamics analysis and cellular thermal shift assays were used to predict and validate the binding sites of LS-1-2 on non-muscle Myosin IIA (NMHC IIA). Our results showed that LS-1-2 exhibited broad antiproliferative effects on a series of CRC cell lines and PDOs. The in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of LS-1-2 was demonstrated across cell line- and patient-derived xenografts and in the liver metastatic CRC model. NMHC IIA was identified as a direct target of LS-1-2, and LS-1-2 competitively inhibited the phosphorylation of NMHC IIA at S1943 and S1714 by CK2. NMHC IIA phosphorylation promoted CRC cell proliferation and invasion, which was reduced by LS-1-2. NMHC IIA phosphorylation-mediated YAP activity induced activation of AKT and inactivation of FOXO3a and was suppressed by LS-1-2. In conclusion, our findings suggest that NMHC IIA phosphorylation can be used as a potential molecular target in CRC metastasis, and that targeting NMHC IIA phosphorylation by LS-1-2 may be a promising strategy for the treatment and prevention of CRC metastasis.
