Molecular portraits of colorectal tumor morphological regions
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In order to better understand the intra-tumor heterogeneity of colorectal cancer, we performed morphology-resolved profiling of stage II-IV primary tumors. The morphological patterns of interest were: complex tubular, desmoplastic, mucinous, papillary, serrated, and complex/tubular. In addition, we profiled a number of tumor-adjacent normal, supportive stroma, and polyp regions. Addionaly, several whole-tumor samples were added, from sections immediately successive to the ones used for region sampling. The manually-annotated regions were macrodissected, RNA extracted and hybridized on Clariom D (human) microarrays. The resulting gene expression profiles allowed the identification of major determinants of differences between the regions, differences that were present within tumors as well.
