Increased expression of Solute carrier family 12 member 5 via gene amplification contributes to tumour progression and metastasis and associates with poor survival in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Using whole genome sequencing, we identified gene amplification of solute carrier family 12 member 5 (SLC12A5) located at 20q13.12 in colorectal cancer (CRC). We analysed its amplification, overexpression, biological effects and prognostic significance in CRC.SLC12A5 amplification status was evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). The effects of SLC12A5 re-expression or knockdown were determined in proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and metastasis assays. SLC12A5 target genes and related pathways were identified by reporter activity and cDNA microarray analyses. Clinical impact of SLC12A5 overexpression was assessed in 195 patients with CRC.Amplification of SLC12A5 was verified in 78 out of 191 (40.8%) patients with primary CRC by FISH, which was positively correlated with its protein overexpression (p<0.001). Biofunctional investigation of SLC12A5 revealed that SLC12A5 significantly increased cell proliferation, G1-S cell cycle transition, invasion/migration abilities, but suppressed apoptosis in vitro and promoted xenograft tumour growth as well as lung metastasis in vivo. The antiapoptosis effect by SLC12A5 was mediated through inhibiting apoptosis-inducing factor and endonuclease G-dependent apoptotic signalling pathway; and the pro-metastasis role was by regulating key elements of the matrix architecture, including matrix metallopeptidase and fibronectin. After a median follow-up of 50.16 months, multivariate analysis revealed that patients with SLC12A5 protein overexpression had a significant decrease in overall survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that SLC12A5 overexpression was significantly associated with shortened survival in patients with CRC.SLC12A5 plays a pivotal oncogenic role in colorectal carcinogenesis; its overexpression is an independent prognostic factor of patients with CRC.

Project description:Aim: To identify potential key candidate genes, whose expression and clinical significance was further assessed in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: Three original microarray datasets (GSE41328, GSE22598, and GSE23878) from NCBI-GEO were used to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CRC. Online database analyses through Oncomine and GEIPA were performed to evaluate SLC4A4 expression and explore the prognostic merit of SLC4A4 expression, which was further confirmed by analyses from QPCR based cDNA array and IHC based tissue microarray (TMA). STRING website was used to explore the interaction between SLC4A4 with other DEGs based on the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Results: Analysis of three original microarray datasets from GEO identified 82 shared, differentially expressed genes (28 upregulated and 54 down-regulated) in CRC tissues. Online analyses from Oncomine and GEIPA revealed lower SLC4A4 mRNA expression in CRC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues, which were further confirmed by QPCR based cDNA array and IHC based TMA analyses on both mRNA and protein levels. Survival analyses through GEIPA and from TMA demonstrated that low SLC4A4 expression is correlated with worse overall survival among patients with CRC. Survival analysis from Kaplan-meier plotter demonstrated that low SLC4A4 expression is significantly associated with poor progression (including relapse-free survival, overall survival, distant metastasis-free survival, post-progression survival) of patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer. PPI analysis found that SLC4A4 is highly correlated with various genes, including SLC9A3, SLC26A6, ENSG00000214921, SLC26A4, SLC9A3R1, and SLC9A1. Conclusion: The mRNA and protein levels of SLC4A4 were decreased in CRC tissues, and low expression of SLC4A4 significantly correlated with shorter survival of CRC patients and poorer progression of patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and ovarian cancer, suggesting potential role of SLC4A4 on tumor suppression and prognostic prediction in multiple malignancies including CRC.

Project description:BackgroundHydrallantois is the excessive accumulation of fluid within the allantoic cavity in pregnant animals and is associated with fetal mortality. Although the incidence of hydrallantois is very low in artificial insemination breeding programs in cattle, recently 38 cows with the phenotypic appearance of hydrallantois were reported in a local subpopulation of Japanese Black cattle. Of these, 33 were traced back to the same sire; however, both their parents were reported healthy, suggesting that hydrallantois is a recessive inherited disorder. To identify autozygous chromosome segments shared by individuals with hydrallantois and the causative mutation in Japanese Black cattle, we performed autozygosity mapping using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and exome sequencing.ResultsShared haplotypes of the affected fetuses spanned 3.52 Mb on bovine chromosome 10. Exome sequencing identified a SNP (g.62382825G > A, p.Pro372Leu) in exon 10 of solute carrier family 12, member 1 (SLC12A1), the genotype of which was compatible with recessive inheritance. SLC12A1 serves as a reabsorption molecule of Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) in the apical membrane of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle in the kidney. We observed that the concentration of Na(+)-Cl(-) increased in allantoic fluid of homozygous SLC12A1 (g.62382825G > A) in a hydrallantois individual. In addition, SLC12A1-positive signals were localized at the apical membrane in the kidneys of unaffected fetuses, whereas they were absent from the apical membrane in the kidneys of affected fetuses. These results suggested that p.Pro372Leu affects the membrane localization of SLC12A1, and in turn, may impair its transporter activity. Surveillance of the risk-allele frequency revealed that the carriers were restricted to the local subpopulation of Japanese Black cattle. Moreover, we identified a founder individual that carried the mutation (g.62382825G > A).ConclusionsIn this study, we mapped the shared haplotypes of affected fetuses using autozygosity mapping and identified a de novo mutation in the SLC12A1 gene that was associated with hydrallantois in Japanese Black cattle. In kidneys of hydrallantois-affected fetuses, the mutation in SLC12A1 impaired the apical membrane localization of SLC12A1 and reabsorption of Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, leading to a defect in the concentration of urine via the countercurrent mechanism. Consequently, the affected fetuses exhibited polyuria that accumulated in the allantoic cavity. Surveillance of the risk-allele frequency indicated that carriers were not widespread throughout the Japanese Black cattle population. Moreover, we identified the founder individual, and thus could effectively manage the disorder in the population.
