THBS2 is a Potential Prognostic Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common leading causes of death worldwide. Prognostic at an early stage is a useful way that decrease and avoid mortality. Although remarkable progress has been made to investigate the underlying mechanism, the understanding of the complicated carcinogenesis process was enormously hindered by large-scale tumor heterogeneity. Here we proposed that the prognosis-related gene THBS2, responsible for cooperativity disorientation, probably contain untapped prognostic resource of colorectal cancer. We originally established Spearman correlation transition, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and meta-analysis that combine public dataset and clinical samples to quantify the prognostic value of THBS2. THBS2 could be considered as a novel prognostic marker in colorectal cancer.

<i>CircFADS2</i>: A potential prognostic biomarker of colorectal cancer.

Project description:Impact statementColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy worldwide with the second highest mortality rate. Although multidisciplinary cooperative therapies are helpful for improving the survival of CRC patients, the prognosis remains poor. Therefore, it is imperative to seek new biomarkers for the development of individualized treatment for each CRC patient. Circular RNA, an endogenous transcript with specific covalent closed loop, exhibits higher stability, conservation and expression abundance than the corresponding linear component and thus may be utilized as a promised biomarker. Although the majority of studies have focused on circular RNA expression profiling in various types of cancers, evidence supporting their critical role in the diagnosis and prognosis of CRC is limited. This study aimed to screen and identify novel circular RNA biomarkers of CRC by chip analysis and qPCR verification, and to highlight their potential as targets for CRC prognosis, and therapy.

Wnt-11 as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:The expression of the secreted factor Wnt-11 is elevated in several types of cancer, including colorectal cancer, where it promotes cancer cell migration and invasion. Analysis of colorectal cancer gene expression databases associated WNT11 mRNA expression with increased likelihood of metastasis in a subset of patients. WNT11 expression was correlated with the expression of the Wnt receptors FZD6, RYK, and PTK7, and the combined expression of WNT11, FZD6 and RYK or PTK7 was associated with an increased risk of 5-year mortality rates. Immunohistochemical analysis of Wnt-11 in a cohort of 357 colorectal cancer patients found significantly higher Wnt-11 levels in tumors, compared with benign tissue. Elevated Wnt-11 levels occurred more frequently in rectal tumors than in colonic tumors and in tumors from women than men. In univariate analysis, increased Wnt-11 expression was also associated with tumor invasion and increased 5-year mortality. High Wnt-11 levels were not associated with high levels of nuclear β-catenin, suggesting Wnt-11 is not simply an indicator for activation of β-catenin-dependent signaling. Expression of Wnt-11 in colorectal cancer cell lines expressing low endogenous Wnt-11 inhibited β-catenin/Tcf activity and increased ATF2-dependent transcriptional activity. WNT11 gene silencing and antibody-mediated inhibition of Wnt-11 in colorectal cancer cell lines expressing high Wnt-11 reduced their capacity for invasion. Together, these observations suggest that Wnt-11 could be a potential target for the treatment of patients with invasive colorectal cancer.

Cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1) Gene Polymorphism as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:BackgroundColon cancer is the most common type of gastrointestinal cancer. Genetic factors have been shown to have a role in the development of colorectal cancers. The aim of this study was to assess the expression of Cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1) gene polymorphism as a potential prognostic biomarker in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis evaluation of patients with colorectal cancer.Methodsin this cross-sectional study, all of our 100 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical operation were included. DNA was extracted from the tumor specimens to assess Cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1) Gene polymorphism by Conventional-PCR. RFLP-PCR method was used for RsaI polymorphism evaluation. Patients' characteristics were also recorded and their associations with CYP2E1 were assessed.ResultsOne hundred tumor specimens were assessed. In total, 88 had wild-type, 8 had purely a 96 bp insertion in CYP2E1, and 4 were partially mutated by a single allele insertion. Generally, 10% of samples had positive results for the RsaI polymorphism. There were no statistically significant associations between CYP2E1 gene polymorphism and number of lymph nodes removed during the operation (P = 0.353), number of positive lymph nodes (P = 0.668), tumor specificity including mucinous or non-mucinous (P = 0.053), tumor invasion (P = 0.074), grading (P = 0.898), differentiation (P = 0.941), tumor location (P = 0.42) or staging (P = 0.182).ConclusionThere was no association between RsaI type CYP2E1 polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk. Our study does not support the use of this biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of colon cancer.

Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor ? is a potential prognostic biomarker and controls telomere regulation in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor ? (RhoGDI?) is an essential regulator for Rho GTPases. Although RhoGDI? may serve as an oncogene in colorectal cancer (CRC), the underlying mechanism is still unclear. We investigated the function, mechanism, and clinical significance of RhoGDI? in CRC progression. We founded that downregulation of RhoGDI? repressed CRC cell proliferation, motility, and invasion. Overexpression of RhoGDI? increased DNA damage response signals at telomeres, and led to telomere shortening in CRC cells, also being validated in 26 pairs of CRC tissues. Mechanistic studies revealed that RhoGDI? could promote telomeric repeat factor 1 (TRF1) expression through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-protein kinase B signal pathway. Moreover, RhoGDI? protein levels were strongly correlated with TRF1 in CRC tissues. A cohort of 297 CRC samples validated the positive relationship between RhoGDI? and TRF1, and revealed that RhoGDI? and TRF1 levels were negatively associated with CRC patients' survival. Taken together, our results suggest that RhoGDI? regulate TRF1 and telomere length and may be novel prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer.

Proteomics identification of desmin as a potential oncofetal diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide and has poor prognosis. To identify the oncofetal proteins involved in CRC carcinogenesis, differentially expressed proteins among fetal colorectal tissues, CRC, and the paired tumor-adjacent normal colorectal tissues were investigated by a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF/TOF-based proteomics approach. 42 protein spots were differentially expressed among these tissues, and 22 proteins were identified by MS analysis. Desmin and zinc finger protein 829 were found to be elevated in CRC tissue and fetal colorectal tissue compared with normal colorectal tissue. The elevated expression of desmin in CRC tissue and different developmental stages of fetus colon was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the elevated expression of desmin was correlated with the severity and differentiation of CRC and decreased survival rate of CRC patients. Finally by developing a highly sensitive immunoassay, desmin could be detected in human serum and was significantly elevated in CRC patients compared with healthy volunteers. We propose that desmin be considered a potential oncofetal serum tumor marker for CRC that may have significance in the detection of patients with CRC.

Translation regulatory long non-coding RNA 1 represents a potential prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have attracted a lot of attention for their role in the development, progression and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, little is known on the clinical significance of the translation regulatory lncRNA 1 (TRERNA1) in CRC. The present study aimed to explore the clinical value of TRERNA1 in patients with CRC. A total of 89 cancer-associated lncRNA genes were analyzed using the RT2 lncRNA PCR array Human Cancer PathwayFinder. Following the PCR array, reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q)PCR was conducted to identify the differential expression of TRERNA1 between 130 CRC and corresponding non-tumorous adjacent tissues. Additionally, the association between TRERNA1 expression and clinical characteristics was analyzed. Furthermore, TRERNA1 expression was knocked down via small interfering RNAs. The results of the PCR array and RT-qPCR revealed that TRERNA1 expression was significantly upregulated in CRC tissues compared with in adjacent normal tissues. TRERNA1 upregulation was positively associated with distant metastasis, perineural invasion, TNM stage, node metastasis stage and tumor diameter. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with higher TRERNA1 expression had a shorter overall survival (OS) time and a less favorable prognosis compared with those in the low TRERNA1 expression group. Knockdown of TRERNA1 inhibited invasion and metastasis of CRC cells via regulating Snail expression. In conclusion, TRERNA1 expression was upregulated in CRC tissues. High expression levels of TRERNA1 may be associated with poor OS times, a less favorable prognosis and lymph node metastasis in patients with CRC. TRERNA1 may therefore serve as a useful and novel biomarker for CRC lymph node metastasis and prognosis.

Identification and Comprehensive Analysis of FREM2 Mutation as a Potential Prognostic Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Gene mutations play an important role in tumor progression. This study aimed to identify genes that were mutated in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to explore their biological effects and prognostic value in CRC patients. We performed somatic mutation analysis using data sets from The Cancer Genome Atlas and International Cancer Genome Consortium, and identified that FREM2 had the highest mutation frequency in patients with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). COAD patients were divided into FREM2-mutated type (n = 36) and FREM2-wild type (n = 278), and a Kaplan-Meier survival curve was generated to perform prognostic analysis. A FREM2-mutation prognosis model was constructed using random forest method, and the performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve. Next, the random forest method and Cox regression analysis were used to construct a prognostic model based on the gene expression data of 36 FREM2-mutant COAD patients. The model showed a high prediction accuracy (83.9%), and 13 prognostic model characteristic genes related to overall survival were identified. Then, the results of tumor mutation burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI) analyses revealed significant differences in TMB and MSI among the risk scores of different prognostic models. Differentially expressed genes were identified and analyzed for functional enrichment and immune infiltration. Finally, 30 samples of CRC patients were collected for immunohistochemical staining to analyze the FREM2 expression levels, which showed that FREM2 was highly expressed in tumor tissues. In conclusion, CRC patients had a high level of FREM2 mutations associated with a worse prognosis, which indicated that FREM2 mutations may be potential prognostic markers in CRC.

<i>ZNF326</i> as a potential prognostic and predictive biomarker in stage II colorectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundAdjuvant chemotherapy is considered for stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with poor prognostic risk factors. However, current stratification algorithms are still insufficient to identify high-risk patients.MethodsWe conducted a screening strategy to define ZNF326 based on quantitative proteomics in 11 paired CRC patients selected by a nested case-control design, and tested the association between ZNF326 expression level with the prognosis of stage II CRC patients and the benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy in public datasets; further investigation was conducted through subgroup analyses.ResultsWe found that low ZNF326 expression was significantly associated with a lower 5-year overall survival (OS) rate among stage II patients in both the discovery [P=0.008; hazard ratio (HR): 3.13, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.29-7.58] and validation (P=0.025; HR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.08-3.65) cohorts. In the Cox multivariable analysis, low ZNF326 expression was both associated with shorter OS after adjustment for age, sex, and adjuvant chemotherapy in the discovery and validation data sets. Subgroup analyses yielded largely similar results. In a pooled database, the rate of 5-year OS was higher among stage II ZNF326-high tumors who were treated with adjuvant chemotherapy than it was among those who were not treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.011; HR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.10-0.80).ConclusionsZNF326 has the potential to be used in clinical practice for risk classification. ZNF326-low expression level identified a subgroup of patients with high-risk stage II CRC who appeared to less benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy.

SNORA21 - An Oncogenic Small Nucleolar RNA, with a Prognostic Biomarker Potential in Human Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging evidence indicates that small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play a central role in oncogenesis. Herein, we systematically evaluated expression profiles of snoRNAs in colorectal cancer (CRC) and investigated their clinical and functional role in this malignancy.MethodsWe compared expression levels of snoRNAs between cancer and normal tissues using publicly available datasets and identified the most differentially expressed and commonly upregulated snoRNAs in CRC. These results were examined in 489 colorectal tissues to assess their clinical significance, followed by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments to evaluate the functional role of candidate snoRNAs.ResultsUsing multiple RNA profiling datasets, we identified consistent overexpression of SNORA21 in CRC. In the clinical validation cohorts, the expression level of SNORA21 was upregulated in colorectal adenomas and cancers. Furthermore, elevated SNORA21 emerged as an independent factor for predicting poor survival. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that CRISPR/Cas9-mediated inhibition of SNORA21 expression resulted in decreased cell proliferation and invasion through modulation of multiple cancer related pathways.ConclusionsWe systematically identified SNORA21 as a key oncogenic snoRNA in CRC, which plays an important role in cancer progression, and might serve as an important prognostic biomarker in CRC.

TULP3: A potential biomarker in colorectal cancer?

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer in women and the third most common cancer in men globally. The identification of differentially expressed genes associated to patient's clinical data may represent a useful approach to find important genes in CRC carcinogenesis. Previously, the TULP3 transcription factor was identified as a possible prognostic biomarker in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Considering that pancreatic and colorectal tissues have the same embryonic origin, we investigated the profile of TULP3 expression in CRC hypothesizing that it may have a role in its development. We comparatively analysed TULP3 gene expression in CRC and normal adjacent colonic tissue and assessed association of expression profiles with survival and clinicopathological information, using publicly available datasets. TULP3 expression levels were increased in CRC when compared to the adjacent non-tumoral tissue. In addition, higher TULP3 gene expression was associated to lymphatic and vascular invasion in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and rectum adenocarcinoma (READ), respectively. In summary, our results point to a possible role of TULP3 as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in CRC. Additional studies are necessary to confirm these preliminary findings.
