Sporadic early-onset colorectal carcinoma is a distinct clinicopathological and molecular entity

ABSTRACT: Sporadic early onset colorectal carcinoma (EOCRC) is a growing problem that remains poorly understood. Clinical specificities and mechanisms of tumorigenesis might be relevant to both diagnosis and treatment. In this prospective study, clinicopathological features, genomic and gene expression profiles of sporadic EOCRC were compared to other well defined groups of CRC. Seventy selected patients were divided into 4 groups according to age (< 45 or > 60 years) and mismatch repair status. Mutations of key genes involved in colorectal carcinogenesis (P53, KRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA) were detected and the methylator phenotype (CIMP) established. Gene expression profiles (GEP) were obtained using pangenomic Affymetrix GeneChip.

Sporadic early onset colorectal carcinoma (EOCRC) which has by definition no identified hereditary predisposition is a growing problem that remains poorly understood. Molecular analysis could improve identification of distinct sub-types of colorectal cancers (CRC) with therapeutic implications and thus can help establish that sporadic EOCRC is a distinct entity. From 954 patients resected for CRC at our institution, 98 patients were selected. Patients aged 45-60 years were excluded to help defin ...[more]

Project description:Background an Aim: Epigenetics are thought to play a major role in the carcinogenesis of patients that develop multiple colorectal cancers (CRC) in the non-hereditary setting. Previous studies have suggested concordant DNA hypermethylation between tumor pairs. However, only a few methylation markers have been analyzed. This study was aimed at describing the underlying epigenetic signature that differentiates multiple from solitary colorectal cancer tumors using a genome-scale DNA methylation profiling. Patients and Methods: We used a population-based cohort (EPICOLON II) of 12 patients with synchronous CRC and 29 age- sex- and tumor location-paired solitary CRC patients. DNA methylation profiling was performed using the Illumina Infinium HM27 DNA methylation assay. The most significantly hypermethylated CpG sites results were validated by Methylight. Tumors samples were also analyzed for the CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) using the Infinium DNA methylation data; KRAS and BRAF mutations; microsatellite instability; and immunohistochemistry for MLH1/MSH2/MSH6/PMS2. Functional annotation clustering of differentially methylated genes between multiple and solitary CRCs was performed. Results: We identified 102 CpG sites that showed significant DNA hypermethylation in multiple versus solitary tumors (difference in M-NM-2 value >0.1 and p<0.05). Methylight assays validated the array results for 4 selected significantly hypermethylated genes (MAP1B, HTRA1, ALOX15, TIMP3) identified in the profiling (p=0.0002). Based on the Infinium data, 8/12 (66.6%) of multiple tumors were classified as CIMP-high, as compared to 5/29 (17%) solitary tumors (p=0.004). CIMP-high tumors displayed significant hypermethylation in 301 CpG sites (difference in M-NM-2 value >0.1; p value <0.05). Interestingly, 76/102 (74.5%) of the hypermethylated CpG sites found in multiple vs. solitary tumors were also seen to be hypermethylated in CIMP-H tumors. Functional analysis of hypermethylated genes found in multiple vs. solitary tumors showed the presence and enrichment of genes involved in different tumorigenic functions. Conclusions: Multiple colorectal cancers are associated with a distinct methylation phenotype, with a close association between tumor multiplicity and CIMP-high. Our results may be important to unravel the underlying mechanism of tumor multiplicity in the non-hereditary scenario, and provide novel potential biomarkers for identifying high-risk patients and tailoring surveillance strategies. We used a population-based cohort (EPICOLON II) of 12 patients with synchronous CRC and 29 solitary CRC patients.
