Small bowel adenocarcinoma copy number profiles are more closely related to colorectal than to gastric cancers

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare cancer and consequently the number of clinical trials has been very limited due to the small numbers of patients. Chemotherapy regimens are currently rather arbitrarily chosen between either a colorectal (CRC) or a gastric cancer (GC) regimen. Chromosomal copy number aberrations are a hallmark of solid tumours and can be measured by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). The aim of the present study is to investigate whether genome-wide copy number aberrations of SBA are more similar to CRC or GC in order to support treatment of SBA according to either regimen. Experimental Design: A total of 85 GCs, CRCs and SBAs were selected from existing in house aCGH datasets based on array quality and clinical parameters. Differences and similarities in gains and losses of the three tumor types were analyzed using supervised and unsupervised analysis. Results: Hierarchical clustering revealed substantial overlap of chromosomal copy number profiles between SBA and CRC and less overlap between SBA and GC. Chromosome 13q13.2-q31.3 is primarily gained in SBA and CRC and the strongest feature discriminating SBA from GC. Further strong discriminating copy number characteristics are aberrations at chromosomes 1p36.3-p34.3, 4p15.3-q35.2, 9p24.3-p11.1 and 17p13.3-p13.2. Conclusions: SBA is more similar to CRC than to GC, based on genome-wide copy number aberrations. These data provide molecular support for treatment of SBA according to a CRC regimen. 29 gastric adenocarcinomas on 5K or 6K BAC arrays of which 2 samples are also done on 30K oligonucleotide arrays as control samples, 29 colorectal adenocarcinomas on 5K or 6K BAC arrays of which 2 samples are also done on 30K oligonucleotide arrays as control, 27 small bowel adenocarcinomas done on 30K oligonucleotide arrays of which 2 samples are also done on 5K BAC arrays as control.

<h4>Background</h4>Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare cancer and consequently, the options for clinical trials are limited. As they are treated according to either a colorectal or a gastric cancer regimen and the molecular biology of a tumor is a pivotal determinant for therapy response, chromosomal copy number aberrations were compared with the colorectal and gastric adenocarcinomas.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>A total of 85 microsatellite stable (MSS) adenocarcinomas from the stomach, ...[more]

Project description:Background: The molecular pathogenesis of small intestinal adenocarcinomas (SBA) is not well understood. Defining its molecular pathogenesis may lead us to better clinical interventions. Aim: to identify the molecular changes characteristic of SBA. Methods: Forty-eight SBA (thirty-three non coeliac disease (CD)-related and 15 CD-related) were characterized for chromosomal aberrations, by high resolution array comparative hybridization (aCGH), microsatellite status (MSI) and APC promoter methylation and mutation status. Furthermore, molecular alterations found in CD-related SBA were compared to non-CD related SBA. Results: Chromosomal changes were observed in 77% of the SBA. The most frequently (>10%) DNA copy number changes found were gains on 5p15.33-5p12, 7p22.3-7q11.21, 7q21.2-7q21.3, 7q22.1-7q34, 7q36.1, 7q36.3, 8q11.21-8q24.3, 9q34.11-9q34.3, 13q11-13q34, 16p13.3, 16p11.2, 19q13.2 and 20p13-20q13.33 and losses of 4p13-4q35.2, 5q15-5q21.1 and 21p11.2-21q22.11. Seven highly amplified regions on 6p21.1, 7q21.1, 8p23.1, 11p13, 16p11.2, 17q12-q21.1 and 19q13.2 were also identified. CD-related and non CD-related SBA displayed similar chromosomal aberrations. Promoter hypermethylation of the APC gene was found in 48% non CD-related and 73% CD-related SBA. No nonsense mutations were found. Last, 10% of the non CD-related SBA were MSI, whereas 43% of the CD-related SBA were MSI. Conclusions: Our study characterized specific chromosomal aberrations and amplifications involved in SBA pathogenesis. At the chromosomal level, CD-related and non CD-related SBA do not differ. The involvement of the MMR system in the pathogenesis of the CD-related SBA was larger than what has been observed in no CD-related SBA. No nonsense mutations were found in SBA, but frequent promoter methylation in CD-related SBA. Forty-eight SBA (thirty-three non coeliac disease (CD)-related and 15 CD-related) were characterized for chromosomal aberrations against a Human pool, by high resolution array comparative hybridization (aCGH),

Project description:Vitamin D is the strongest known natural anti-proliferative. A large number of studies in a wide spectrum of cancers, including epidemiological, in vitro and animal models, demonstrate that the active form of Vitamin D has anti-cancer benefits, affecting both progression and metastasis. Alike the role in calcium Vitamin D regulation, its anti-proliferative effect is thought to function through the Vitamin D receptor (VDR), although convincing evidence is lacking. Notwithstanding, separation of the calcemic and the anti-proliferative activity of Vitamin D analogues has been a major obstacle in developing new drugs for the treatment of cancer. The work presented attempts to unveil the molecular mechanism behind the anti-proliferative action of Vitamin D using genomic tools. For that purpose four independently developed Vitamin D sensitive/resistant MCF7 cell line pairs were collected. These unique biological replicates enabled us, both to increase the power of our study and to omit the use of Vitamin D. We deem this omission crucial since in the presence of Vitamin D only downstream genes involved in proliferation and cell cycle would be identified rather than causal resistance genes. The use of a variety of genomic techniques including expression, NMD and oligo CGH arrays reveal in the resistant cell lines the 11q13-14 as a region of DNA copy number loss and an altered expression of EGFR signaling pathway genes. Surprisingly, no genes known from calcium Vitamin D regulation were identified, nor did the VDR silencing by RNAi induce resistance to the sensitive cell lines. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization, cell type comparision Several MCF7 breast tumor cell lines independently derived from the human breast cancer cell line, both resistant and sensitive to Vitamin D, were used. The pairs of cell lines (parental-resistant) were developed in different laboratories and using different methodologies; while some cell lines acquired resistance by long exposure to the physiological concentration of Vitamin D (100nM), others were induced to resistant by being exposed to increasing amounts of Vitamin D. A total of 4 microarray expression experiments were carried out. In all microarray experiments DNA from the Vitamin D resistant cell line was hybrizided agains DNA from the respsective sensitive/parental cell line.

Project description:We superimposed array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) data onto existing expression array profiles (GSE3892) to sift out the pivotal genes underlying the pathogenesis of a well defined series of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). 280 gained and over-expressed genes were identified, located on chromosomes 1q, 3q, 7, 12p12, 18q and 21q. At the most frequently gained region the oncogene MDMX/MDM4 was concurrently over-expressed, which is a critical regulator of p53 function. In regions of frequent chromosomal loss, 36 genes were concurrently down-regulated, restricted to 6q and 15p. These putative tumor suppressor genes included PERP, MAP3K5, CCNDBP1 and Î²2M, and loss of 6q was associated with poor clinical outcome. Genes identified and chromosomal regions validated in an independent series of DLBCL patients. Overall design fields: Copy number profiles (array CGH) of a series of 42 Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patient samples were analyzed a) for frequency of aberrations and b) for impact on gene expression. No duplicate samples or dye-swaps were analyzed. a) Statistical analysis of Array CGH data Calling: Areas of gains and losses and their frequencies throughout the dataset were determined from the Bluefuse ratios within the statistical package â??CGHcallâ?? (van de Wiel et al., 2007). Briefly, after smoothing outliers and median normalization, â??DNAcopyâ?? segmentation (Olshen et al., 2004) was applied within CGHcall, after which a call was assigned to each position on the genome. Within CGHcall the probabilities of the calls were determined per chromosomal arm, and a cellularity correction of 0.75 was applied to each sample because tumor cellularity in all DLBCL is estimated to be maximal 75%, taking into account all stromal, endothelial en infiltrating lymphocytes. After calling, we applied â??CGHregionsâ?? (van de Wiel and van Wieringen 2007) to determine regions of consecutive clones with highly similar calls for all samples. This dimension reduction further increases robustness and statistical power for downstream statistical analyses. Called data were used for all downstream analyses. b) Integration with expression data To integrate called array CGH data with expression array data, the array CGH and expression integration tool, ACE-it (van Wieringen et al., 2006), was used. For ACE-it analysis chromosomal amplifications were included in the gains. ACE-it uses the one-sided Wilcoxon rank sum to test which chromosomal aberrations recurrently affect RNA expression and adjust p-values for multiple testing. Only those clones were taken into account which had at least 20% (9) of the samples in one of the other calling states (gain or loss). Only genes were considered relevant with a false discovery rate of <0.1.
