Transcription profiling of human oesophageal cells stimulated with a low pH environment

ABSTRACT: Differential gene expression analysis of oesophageal cells stimulated with a low pH environment. Study designed to identify pathways involved in progression of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease through Barrett's oesophagus to adenocarcinoma. Identified many subsets of genes with involvement in pathogenesis.

The development of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is known to be a causative risk factor in the evolution of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. The major component of this reflux is gastric acid. However, the impact of low pH on gene expression has not been extensively studied in oesophageal cells. This study utilizes a transcriptomic and bioinformatic approach to assess regulation of gene expression in response to low pH. In more detail, oesophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines were expos ...[more]

Project description:Oesophageal exposure to duodenogastroesophageal refluxate is implicated in the development of BarrettM-bM-^@M-^Ys Metaplasia, with increased risk of progression to oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The literature proposes that reflux exposure activates NF-kB, driving the aberrant expression of intestine-specific caudal-related homeobox genes. However, early events in the pathogenesis of BarrettM-bM-^@M-^Ys Metaplasia from a normal epithelium are poorly understood. To investigate this, our study subjected a 3D model of the normal human oesophageal mucosa to repeated, pulsatile exposure to specific bile components and examined changes in gene expression. Initial 2D experiments with a range of bile salts observed that taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC) impacted upon NF-kB activation without causing cell death. Informed by this, the 3D human oesophageal model was repeatedly exposed to TCDC in the presence and absence of acid, and the epithelial cells underwent gene expression profiling. We identified ~300 differentially expressed genes following each treatment, with a large and significant overlap between treatments. Enrichment analysis (Broad GSEA, DAVID and MetacoreM-bM-^DM-", GeneGo Inc) identified multiple gene sets related to cell signalling, inflammation, proliferation, differentiation and cell adhesion. Specifically NF-kB activation, Wnt signalling, cell adhesion and targets for the transcription factors PTF1A and HNF4M-NM-1 were highlighted. CDX1/2 transcription factors are believed to play a role in BM development; however, in this study their targets were not enriched, suggesting that CDX1/2 activation may not be the one of the initial events for BM formation. Our findings highlight new areas for investigation in the earliest stages of BM pathogenesis of oesophageal diseases and new potential therapeutic targets. RNA was extracted from oesophageal epithelium grown in a 3D oesophageal mucosa model. The model received pulsatile exposure for 10 mins twice a day for 11 days to pH 7.4 (control, n=6), TCDC (n=6), pH 4 (n=6) or TCDC, pH 4 (n=6). In one experiment, four oesophageal constructs were grown using the epithelial cells from one patient and each construct was exposed to a different insult. The experiment was performed six times using cells from three different patients, repeating each experiment once to produce technical replicates. RNA was then pooled from one technical replicate per patient to produce 8 samples for array analysis. The three treatments were compared to the control.

Project description:Esophageal cancers (ECs) are highly aggressive tumors with poor prognosis and few treatment options. This study investigated the possibility of treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) cells by inhibitors of broad and specific histone deacetylases (HDACi; SAHA, MS-275, FK228) and/or of DNMT (Azacytidine, AZA). Drug targets (HDAC1,2,3 and DNMT1) were present in non-neoplastic (HET-1A), ESCC (OE21) and EAC (OE33) cell lines. All cell lines responded to HDACi by reduced HDAC activity and increased histone acetylation as well as to AZA by up-regulation of p21. Expression of drug targets remained largely unaffected by HDACi and AZA treatment. Importantly, cell viability, apoptosis, cell cycle dynamics and DNA damage were only affected by HDACi and/or AZA in ESCC and EAC, but not the non-neoplastic cells. This was specifically seen for the combination of MS-275 and AZA, leading to enhanced cancer cell selectivity and drug efficiency. By transcriptome analyses of MS-275, AZA and MS-275/AZA treated cells, known (e.g. p21) as well as novel regulated genes significantly associated with the cellular effects post HDACi and/or AZA treatment in ESCC and EAC cells were identified. Finally, human EC tissue specimens frequently expressed the actionable drug targets HDAC1/2/3 and DNMT1. In summary, a combined HDACi (MS-275)/AZA treatment is cancer cell selective and efficient in vitro. Since the majority of ECs express the drug targets in situ, this paves the way for further investigations of HDACi/AZA treatment in esophageal cancer cells and their translation into a clinico-pathological setting. To elucidate the transcriptome response to HDAC inhibitors of normal esophageal cells and esophageal tumor cells, total RNA was isolated from non-neoplastic esophageal epithelial cells (Het1A cells) a well as from two esophageal tumor cell lines (OE21 and OE33), respectively. Cells were treated with either MS-275, Azacytidine (AZA) or in combination of both. DMSO treatment was used as control in each case. Total RNA was isolated from cells 24 h after treatment and experiments were performed in biological triplicates.
