Cell-of-origin epigenetic signatures are maintained during colorectal carcinogenesis

ABSTRACT: Colorectal adenomas are precursor lesions of colorectal cancers and represent clonal amplifications of single cells from colonic crypts. DNA methylation patterns specify cell-type identity during cellular differentiation and therefore provide novel opportunities for the molecular analysis of tumors. We have now analyzed DNA methylation patterns in colorectal adenomas and identified three biologically defined subclasses that describe different intestinal crypt differentiation stages. Importantly, colorectal carcinomas could be classified into the same methylation subtypes, reflecting their shared cell-types of origin with adenomas. Further data analysis also revealed significantly reduced overall survival for one of the subtypes. Our results establish a novel concept for understanding the methylation patterns observed in colorectal cancer and provide opportunities for tumor subclassification and patient stratification.

Molecular characterization of colorectal adenomas reveals POFUT1 as a candidate driver of tumor progression

Project description:Colorectal adenomas are benign precursor lesions of colorectal cancer (CRC) that arise from normal epithelium1. The prevalence of adenomas in the large intestine is much higher than the incidence of cancer implying that the majority of adenomas will never progress to CRC4. In clinical practice, adenomas detected during colonoscopy are completely removed, and consequently the natural history of disease disrupted. Based on the prevalence of focal cancer in endoscopically removed adenomas, it is estimated that only 5% of adenomas will eventually progress to CRC. The aim of the present study was to characterize adenomas at low and high risk of progressing to cancer by extensive molecular profiling at DNA, RNA, and protein level, allowing to examine the biological processes in which they differ and to discover putative drivers of early colorectal tumor development.

Novel stool-based protein biomarkers for improved colorectal cancer screening

Project description:Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) detecting hemoglobin in stool are widely used for non-invasive colorectal cancer (CRC) screening, but their sensitivity leaves room for improvement. Our aim is to identify novel protein biomarkers in stool that outperform or complement hemoglobin in detecting CRCs and advanced adenomas (AAs). Stool samples (one series of 12 CRCs and 10 controls, and a second series of 81 CRCs, 40 AAs, 43 non-advanced adenomas and 129 controls) were analyzed by mass-spectrometry and searched for human proteins. Classification and regression tree and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify protein combinations that differentiated CRCs and/or AAs from controls. Antibody-based assays for four selected proteins were performed on an independent series of FIT samples (14 CRCs, 16 AAs, 18 non-advanced adenomas and 24 controls) Results: In total, 834 human proteins were identified, of which 29 were significantly enriched in CRCs versus controls in both stool sample series. Combinations of four proteins reached sensitivities of 80% and 45% for detecting CRCs and AAs, at 95% specificity, which was higher than hemoglobin alone.

Glomerular proteomic profiling of kidney biopsies with hypertensive nephropathy reveals a signature of disease progression

Project description:Background and Objective: Hypertensive nephropathy (HN) requires a kidney biopsy as gold-standard for its diagnosis but histological findings are not entirely specific and lack specific prognostic markers. We aimed at defining prognostic candidate markers based on glomerular protein signatures. Method: We included adult patients (n=17) with an eGFR >30 ml/min/1.73m2 and proteinuria <3g/d from the Norwegian Kidney Biopsy Registry: stable patients (n=9) and subjects with HN progression (n=8) leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within 20 years of follow-up. Glomerular cross-sections were microdissected from archival kidney biopsy sections and processed for protein extraction. Proteomic analyses were performed using Q-exactive HF mass spectrometer and relative glomerular protein abundance were compared between progressive vs non-progressive patients. Results: Amongst 1870 quality filtered proteins, we identified 58 proteins with an absolute fold change (FC)>1.5, p<0.05, including 17 proteins with absolute FC >2, indicative of HN progression (highest FC: Cadherin 16 and UDP-glucuronosyl-transferase 2B7). Hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis (PCA) with the 17 proteins showed clear separation of samples into HN progressors and non-progressors. Supervised classifier analysis (K nearest neighbour) identified a set of five proteins which classified 16/17 samples correctly. Applying Geneset Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), in general metabolic pathways were enriched in progressors, and structural cell pathways enriched in non-progressors. Pathway analysis identified Epithelial Adherens Junction Signaling as the most affected canonical pathway. The signature of HN progression is different from the respective signature of IgA progression. Conclusion: Glomerular proteomic profiling can be used to discriminate progressors from non-progressors in HN.

Single tip transcriptomics of neighboring hyphae of Aspergillus niger

Project description:Mycelia of filamentous fungi explore new substrates by means of hyphae that extend from the periphery of the colony. Previously, it has been shown by immuno-labelling, reporter studies and in situ hybridization that these exploring hyphae are heterogenic with respect to protein secretion and transcription. We performed single hyphal tip RNA profiling using microarrays to assess the differences in RNA accumulation in neighboring exploring hyphae Single tips from 5 neighboring exploring hyphae from a single colony were selected for RNA extraction, amplification and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays

Transcription profiling of human pedunculated, sporadic colorectal polyps and corresponding normal mucosa obtained during colonoscopies

Project description:Background: Colorectal cancers are believed to arise predominantly from adenomas. Although these precancerous lesions have been subjected to extensive clinical, pathological, and molecular analyses, little is currently known about the global gene expression changes accompanying their formation. Results: To characterize the molecular processes underlying the transformation of normal colonic epithelium, we compared the transcriptomes of 32 prospectively collected adenomas with those of normal mucosa from the same individuals. Important differences emerged not only between the expression profiles of normal and adenomatous tissues, but also between those of small and large adenomas. A key feature of the transformation process was the remodeling of the Wnt pathway reflected in patent over- and underexpression of 78 known components of this signaling cascade. Conclusions: Our transcriptomic profiles of normal colonic mucosa and colorectal adenomas shed new light on the early stages of colorectal tumorigenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Pedunculated, sporadic colorectal polyps and corresponding normal mucosa were obtained during colonoscopies. The tissues were collected prospectively with informed patient consent and the approval of the local Human Research Ethics Committee.

Gene expression profiling of triple negative breast cancer, normal ductal cells, and normal tissues

Project description:To identify novel molecular targets for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling. We purified 30 surgically resected breast cancer tissue diagnosed triple negative by means of immunohistochemical staining and 13 normal mammary ductal cells with lasermicrobeam microdissection system (PALM MicroBeam, Carl Zeiss MicroImaging Co., Ltd), performed whole human genome microarray, and compared gene expression levels of TNBC, normal mammary ductal cells, and normal vital organs to develop molecular targets with a minimum risk. Gene expression levels of 30 TNBC, 13 normal mammary ductal cells, and 4 normal vital tissues were evaluated. to clarify the molecular mechanism involved in TNBC, we analyzed gene expression profiles of 30 TNBC as well as 13 normal epithelial ductal cells purified by laser microbeam microdissection, and identified 301 transcripts that were significantly up-regulated and 321 transcripts that were significantly down-regulated in TNBC. In addition, gene-expression profiles analysis of normal human vital organs including heart, lung, liver, and kidney allowed us to identify 90 cancer-specific genes involved in breast carcinogenesis such as NEK2, PBK, DTL, MELK and GPSM2. Among them, we focused on cell cycle regulators, asp (abnormal spindle) homolog, microcephaly associated (Drosophila) (ASPM) and centromere protein K (CENPK) as novel therapeutic targets for TNBC.
