Transcription profiling by array of human Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and Combined Hepatocellular Cholangiocarcinoma (CHC) tumors

ABSTRACT: We compared transcriptomic profiles of 23 ICC tumor specimens to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens using Affymetrix mRNA array and the miRNA array platforms to search for unique gene signatures linked to patient prognosis. ICC and HCC share common stem-like molecular characteristics and stem-like tumor features associated with poor prognosis. Gene expression profiling of 16 intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), 7 mixed type of combined HCC and ICC (CHC), 2 Hepatic Adenoma, 5 Focal Nodular Hyperplasia, and 7 Non-Tumor Tissues were performed.

<h4>Unlabelled</h4>Intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) is the second most common type of primary liver cancer. However, its tumor heterogeneity and molecular characteristics are largely unknown. In this study, we conducted transcriptomic profiling of 23 ICC and combined hepatocellular cholangiocarcinoma tumor specimens from Asian patients using Affymetrix messenger RNA (mRNA) and NanoString microRNA microarrays to search for unique gene signatures linked to tumor subtypes and patient ...[more]

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholangiocarcinoma, the second most common liver cancer, can be classified as intrahepatic (ICC) or extrahepatic. We performed an integrative genomic analysis of ICC samples from a large series of patients. METHODS: We performed gene expression profile, high-density single nucleotide polymorphism array, and mutation analyses using formalin-fixed ICC samples from 149 patients. Associations with clinico-pathological traits and patient outcomes were examined for 119 cases. Class discovery was based on a non-negative matrix factorization algorithm and significant copy number variations (CNV) were identified by GISTIC analysis. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify signaling pathways activated in specific molecular classes of tumors, and to analyze their genomic overlap with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). RESULTS: We identified 2 main biological classes of ICC. The inflammation class (38% of ICCs) is characterized by activation of inflammatory signaling pathways, overexpression of cytokines, and STAT3 activation. The proliferation class (62%) is characterized by activation of oncogenic signaling pathways (including RAS, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and MET), DNA amplifications at 11q13.2, deletions at 14q22.1, mutations in KRAS and BRAF, and gene expression signatures previously associated with poor outcomes for patients with HCC. CNV-based clustering was able to further refine these molecular groups. We identified high-level amplifications in 5 regions, including 1p13 (9%) and 11q13.2 (4%), and several focal deletions, such as 9p21.3 (18%) and 14q22.1 (12% in coding regions for the SAV1 tumor suppressor). In a complementary approach, we identified a gene expression signature that was associated with reduced survival times of patients with ICC; this signature was enriched in the proliferation class (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We used an integrative genomic analysis to identify 2 classes of ICC. The proliferation class has specific copy number alterations, many features of the poor-prognosis signatures for HCC, and is associated with worse outcome. Different classes of ICC, based on molecular features, might therefore require different treatment approaches. Gene-expression profiling was performed using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissues obtained at the time of surgical resection.

Project description:Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common type of primary cancer in the liver. ICC is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic strategies. The identification of new drug targets and prognostic biomarkers is an important clinical challenge for ICC. The presence of an abundant stroma is a histological hallmark of ICC. Given the well established role of the stromal compartment in the progression of cancer diseases, we hypothesized that relevant biomarkers could be identified by analyzing the stroma of ICC. By combining laser capture microdissection and gene expression profiling we demonstrated that ICC stromal cells exhibit dramatic genomic changes. We identified a signature of 1,073 non-redundant genes that significantly discriminate the tumor stroma from non tumor fibrous tissue. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes demonstrated that up-regulated genes in the stroma of ICC were related to cell cycle, extracellular matrix and Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGFM-NM-2) pathways. Tissue microarray analysis using an independent cohort of 40 ICC patients validated at a protein level the increase expression of Collagen 4, Laminin, Osteopontin/SPP1, KIAA0101 and TGFM-NM-22 genes in the stroma of ICC. Statistical analysis of clinical and pathological features demonstrated that the expression of Osteopontin, TGFM-NM-22 and Laminin in the stroma of ICC was significantly correlated with patient overall survival. More importantly, multivariate analysis demonstrated that the stromal expression of Osteopontin was an independent prognostic marker for overall and disease-free survival. Conclusion: The study identifies clinically relevant genomic alterations in the stroma of ICC, including candidates biomarkers for prognosis, supporting the idea that tumor stroma is an important factor for ICC onset and progression. 20 RNA samples were analyzed, from 10 patients with ICC. For each patient, RNA were isolated from laser capture microdissected (LCM) stroma from tumor and non tumor areas.
