Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding, RNA molecules which regulate numerous cellular processes. Specific miRNA may be abnormally down-regulated or up-regulated in colorectal cancer and have been found associated with prognosis or response to treatments. However, no study has ever addressed their predictive role in rectal cancer. Therefore, we used microarray technology and RT-PCR to profile miRNA expression patterns in patients (pts) with rectal cancer, with the aim to identify a specific M-bM-^@M-^\signatureM-bM-^@M-^] associated with pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy. Methods: 38 pts with locally advanced rectal cancer (cT3-4/N+) were treated with capecitabine-oxaliplatin and pelvic conformal radiotherapy (45 cGy) followed by surgery (after 6-8 weeks). Pathologic response was scored according to the tumor regression grade (TRG) scale. MiRNA expression profile was analysed by microarray on fresh frozen biopsies obtained before treatment start and confirmed by RT-PCR. The correlation between miRNA expression profile and the TRG coded as TRG1 (pathologic Complete Response-pCR) versus TRG >1 (no pCR) was assessed by statistical analysis methods specifically designed for this study. Findings: 14 miRNAs were selected by arrays analysis as differentially expressed in TRG1 pts and 13 were confirmed by RT-PCR. In particular, 11 miRNAs (miR-1183, miR-483-5p, miR-622, miR-125a-3p, miR-1224-5p, miR-188-5p, miR-1471, miR-671-5p, miR-1909*, miR-630 and miR-765) were significantly up-regulated in TRG1 pts, while 2 miRNAs were under -expressed (miR-1274b and miR-720). miR-622 and miR-630 showed 100% sensitivity and specificity in selecting TRG1 cases and were significantly correlated with EGFR (M-OM-^G2=11M-bM-^@M-"793; p= 0M-bM-^@M-"001) and TS expression (M-OM-^G2=10M-bM-^@M-"589; p= 0M-bM-^@M-"001). Interpretation: A set of 13 miRNAs is strongly associated with pathologic complete response and may represent a specific marker of response to chemo-radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. Experiments were performed on purified RNA from preoperatory biopsies of 38 patients with histological diagnosis of rectal adenocarcinoma invading through the intestinal wall and/or with pelvic lymph node involvement as evaluated by endorectal ultrasonography (uT3-T4 and/or uN+). Patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (capecitabine + oxaliplatin in combination with 45 Gy of pelvic conformal radiotherapy). Patients have been divided in the following two groups: group A those who had obtained a pathologic complete response M-bM-^@M-^S TRG 1, including the patient without detectable disease who refused surgery, group B any pathologic response other than complete.

Project description:Locally advanced rectal cancer is usually treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. However, tumor response rates to this treatment vary greatly. Thus, most patients do not reach a complete remission and have to undergo tumor resection. In the present study, we introduce a patient-derived rectal cancer organoid platform that reflects clinical radiosensitivity and use this to screen 1596 drug-radiation combinations. We identify inhibitors of RAS-MAPK signaling, especially MEK inhibitors, strongly synergizing with radiation response. Mechanistically, MEK inhibitors suppressed radiation-induced activation of RAS-MAPK signaling, and selectively downregulated the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway component RAD51, thereby achieving radio-enhancement. Through testing drug-drug-radiation combinations in organoids and cell lines, we identified synergism between PARP and MEK inhibitors to further enhance the effect of radiation. Our data support clinical testing of combined MEK and PARP inhibition with radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancers.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common lethal malignancy in Korea and worldwide. Rectal cancer patients occupy about 30% of CRC patients, and the majority of rectal cancer patients had locally advanced disease at diagnosis. The standard treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is neoadjuvant radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy (CCRT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME). This multidisciplinary team approach improved local tumor control and overall survival of rectal cancer patients. High throughput proteomic analysis and machine learning algorithm identify DUOX2 (dual oxidase 2) as a novel biomarker for prediction of non-complete response after concurrent chemoradiation therapy for rectal cancer.High throughput proteomic analysis and machine learning algorithm identify DUOX2 (dual oxidase 2) as a novel biomarker for prediction of non-complete response after concurrent chemoradiation therapy for rectal cancer.

Project description:DNA methylation-based classifier to predict pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal carcinomas.

Project description:Locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients have been treated with a pre-operative multimodal regimen based on 5-fluorouracil and radiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgery. Patients that achieve pathological complete response (pCR) present better overall survival and lower rates of recurrence. Substantial evidence indicate that these patients could be spared of surgery, while near 70% of cases present incomplete response (pIR), varying from partial response to stable-disease/progression. Markers capable of distinguishing pIR from pCR have the potential to address alternative treatment strategies. Herein, we evaluated the ability of predicting response to nCRT by DNA methylation analysis in pre-treatment biopsies of LARC.

Project description:The goal of the study was to identify a gene expression signature capable of predicting a pathological complete response following neoadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy of breast cancer. The samples were taken from the FEC arm (5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide) of the EORTC 10994 trial. EORTC 10994 is a phase III clinical trial comparing FEC with ET (epirubicin, docetaxel) in patients with large operable, locally advanced or inflammatory breast cancer (www.eortc.be). Frozen biopsies were taken at randomisation. RNA was extracted from 100um thickness of 14G core needle biopsies. Adjacent sections were tested by H&E to confirm >20% tumour cell content. 200 ng total RNA per chip was amplified using the Affymetrix small sample protocol (IVT then Enzo). 102 tumours were tested on Affymetrix X3P chips. Single biopsies were tested per tumour. The CEL files were quantile normalised using rma. The clinical response measure was pathological complete response (pCR, disappearance of the tumour after chemotherapy with at most scattered invasive cells detected by histology). 102 tumors

Project description:Improving response to neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer has the potential to improve organ preservation and disease-free survival. Knowing which patients may need therapeutic escalation or de-escalation from standard-of-care treatment remains an area of investigation. We previously reported the primary and secondary endpoints of our single-arm study combining transforming growth factor beta receptor inhibitor, Galunisertib, with neoadjuvant chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Here we analyze RNA sequencing data obtained from tissue biopsies at baseline and after 2 weeks of galunisertib. Differences in expression of pathways associated with MYC, inflammation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition were observed between complete responders (CR) and <CR, with galunisertib upregulating MYC pathway expression in CR. Radiosensitivity and TGFβ response scores demonstrated limited ability to predict for response to galunisertib + chemoradiation. Typically treatment resistant consensus molecular subtype 4 (CMS4), characterized by TGFβ expression, was associated with response to galunisertib + chemoradiation. Differences in correlations between RNA based measures of cell composition and immunohistologic quantification of infiltrates and extracted MRI parameters were observed for CIBERSORT, MCPcounter, and Xcell methodologies. Based on these data, we hypothesize that the stromal radioresistant phenotype driven by TGFβ can be overcome by the addition of galunisertib to chemoradiation in rectal cancer.

Project description:To characterize potential biomarkers and underlying mechanisms that prompt pathological complete response (pCR) rate of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients.LARC patients from two hospitals were enrolled with pre-nCRT biopsy tissues examined by pressure cycling technology (PCT) combined with data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry. Tumor regression grade (TRG) evaluation was performed with the surgical tissues after nCRT to estimate the efficacy of nCRT. Proteins up regulated in pCR patients were highlighted and immune infiltration analysis was carried out. The candidate biomarker FOSL2 (FOS Like 2, AP-1 Transcription Factor Subunit), was selected and verified its role in vitro and vivo. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 2 different cells with or without chemoradiotherapy.
