Synchronous Double Bile Duct Cancers with Distinct Genetic Features.

ABSTRACT: A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of appetite loss. Imaging showed a nodular tumor in the perihilar bile duct and a second flat lesion in the distal bile duct. Right hepatopancreaticoduodenectomy was performed, and the histopathological findings demonstrated that the perihilar and distal lesions were moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, respectively, and anatomically separated. Furthermore, the resected specimens showed no pancreaticobiliary maljunction. Histological and TP53 gene analyses in a rare case of synchronous double bile duct cancers suggest that there are various genetic pathways through which bile duct cancer develops, highlighting the complexity of its pathogenesis.

A prospective cohort study shows unique epigenetic, genetic, and prognostic features of synchronous colorectal cancers.

Project description:Background & aimsSynchronous colorectal neoplasias (2 or more primary carcinomas identified in the same patient) are caused by common genetic and environmental factors and can be used to study the field effect. Synchronous colon cancers have not been compared with control solitary cancers in a prospective study.MethodsWe analyzed data collected from 47 patients with synchronous colorectal cancers and 2021 solitary colorectal cancers (controls) in 2 prospective cohort studies. Tumors samples were analyzed for methylation in LINE-1 and 16 CpG islands (CACNA1G, CDKN2A [p16], CRABP1, IGF2, MLH1, NEUROG1, RUNX3, SOCS1, CHFR, HIC1, IGFBP3, MGMT, MINT1, MINT31, p14 [ARF], and WRN); microsatellite instability (MSI); the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP); 18q loss of heterozygosity; KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutations; and expression of beta-catenin, p53, p21, p27, cyclin D1, fatty acid synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2.ResultsCompared with patients with solitary colorectal cancer, synchronous colorectal cancer patients had reduced overall survival time (log-rank, P = .0048; hazard ratio [HR], 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-2.50; P = .0053; multivariate HR, 1.47; 95% CI: 1.00-2.17; P = .049). Compared with solitary tumors, synchronous tumors more frequently contained BRAF mutations (P = .0041), CIMP-high (P = .013), and MSI-high (P = .037). Methylation levels of LINE-1 (Spearman r = 0.82; P = .0072) and CpG island methylation (P < .0001) correlated between synchronous cancer pairs from the same individuals.ConclusionsSynchronous colorectal cancers had more frequent mutations in BRAF, were more frequently CIMP- and MSI-high, and had a worse prognosis than solitary colorectal cancers. Similar epigenomic and epigenetic events were frequently observed within a synchronous cancer pair, suggesting the presence of a field defect.

Distinct Mutational Patterns of Infection and Non-Infection-Related Bile Duct Cancers Revealed by Exome Sequencing

Project description:The impact of different carcinogenic exposures on the specific patterns of somatic mutations in human tumors remains unclear. To clarify this issue, we profiled 209 cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) from Asia and Europe, including 108 cases caused by liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini (OV)-infection and 101 cases due to non-OV etiologies. Whole-exome (N = 15) and prevalence screening (N = 194) revealed recurrent somatic mutations in BAP1 and ARID1A, neither of which has been previously reported to be mutated in CCA. Comparisons between intrahepatic OV and non-OV CCAs demonstrated statistically significant different mutation patterns: BAP1 and IDH1/2 were more frequently mutated in non-OV CCAs, while TP53 displayed the reciprocal pattern. Functional studies demonstrated tumor suppressive roles of BAP1 and ARID1A, establishing the role of chromatin modulators in CCA pathogenesis. These findings indicate that different causative etiologies may induce distinct somatic alterations even within the same tumor type. Illumina 450k methylation array profiling performed on wild-type (n=23) and mutant (n=9) CCA (cholangiocarcinoma) samples, with adjacent normal tissue (n=4)

Oblique bile duct predisposes to the recurrence of bile duct stones.

Project description:Background and study aimsBile stones represent a highly prevalent condition and abnormalities of the biliary tree predispose to stone recurrence due to development of biliary stasis. In our study, we assessed the importance of an altered bile duct course for stone formation.Patients and methods1,307 patients with choledocholithiasis in the absence of any associated hepatobiliary disease who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) between 2002 and 2009 were analysed. The angle enclosed between the horizontal portion of the common bile duct (CBD) and the horizontal plane was measured (angle ?). Oblique common bile duct (OCBD) was defined as a CBD with angle ? < 45°.Results103 patients (7.9%) were found to harbour OCBD and these were compared to 104 randomly selected control subjects. Compared to controls, OCBD patients were (i) significantly older (72 ± 13 vs. 67 ± 13, p<0.00001); (ii) more frequently underwent a cholecystectomy (p = 0.02) and biliary surgery (p = 0.003) prior to the diagnosis and (iii) more often developed chronic pancreatitis (p = 0.04) as well as biliary fistulae (p = 0.03). Prior to and after ERCP, OCBD subjects displayed significantly elevated cholestatic parameters and angle ? negatively correlated with common bile duct diameter (r = -0.29, p = 0.003). OCBD subjects more often required multiple back-to-back ERCP sessions to remove bile stones (p = 0.005) as well as more ERCPs later on due to recurrent stone formation (p<0.05).ConclusionOCBD defines a novel variant of the biliary tree, which is associated with chronic cholestasis, hampers an efficient stone removal and predisposes to recurrence of bile duct stones.

Advanced Bile Duct Cancers: A Focused Review on Current and Emerging Systemic Treatments.

Project description:Cancers arising in the biliary tract are rare, with varied incidence depending on geographical location. As clinical presentation is typically vague with non-specific symptoms, a large proportion of patients present with unresectable or metastatic disease at diagnosis. When unresectable, the mainstay of treatment is cytotoxic chemotherapy; however, despite this, 5-year overall survival remains incredibly poor. Diagnostic molecular pathology, using next-generation sequencing, has identified a high prevalence of targetable alterations in bile duct cancers, which is transforming care. Substantial genomic heterogeneity has been identified depending on both the anatomical location and etiology of disease, with certain alterations enriched for subtypes. In addition, immune checkpoint inhibitors with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies in combination with chemotherapy are now poised to become the standard first-line treatment option in this disease. Here, we describe the established role of cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted precision treatments and immunotherapy in what is a rapidly evolving treatment paradigm for advanced biliary tract cancer.

Genetic association and single-cell transcriptome analyses reveal distinct features connecting autoimmunity with cancers.

Project description:Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are at a significantly higher risk of cancers with unclear mechanism. By searching GWAS catalog database and Medline, susceptible genes for five common ADs, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, were collected and then were overlapped with cancer driver genes. Single-cell transcriptome analysis was performed in the comparation between SLE and related cancer. We identified 45 carcinogenic autoimmune disease risk (CAD) genes, which were mainly enriched in T cell signaling pathway and B cell signaling pathway. Integrated single-cell analysis revealed immune cell signaling was significantly downregulated in renal cancer compared with SLE, while stemness signature was significantly enriched in both renal cancer or lymphoma and SLE in specific subpopulations. Drugs targeting CAD genes were shared between ADs and cancer. Our study highlights the common and specific features between ADs and related cancers, and sheds light on a new discovery of treatments.

Histopathological Features Predicting Long-term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Vanishing Bile Duct Syndrome.

Project description:Background and aimsThe clinicopathological features and long-term outcomes of patients with vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) have yet to be elucidated. The study aims to investigate these features and identify factors associated with poor prognosis.MethodsThis multicenter retrospective study recruited patients with liver biopsy-proven VBDS who were followed up at five hospitals in northern China from January 2003 to April 2022. Clinical and pathological data at time of biopsy were reviewed. Clinical outcomes including cirrhosis, decompensation events, liver transplantation (LT), and liver-related death were recorded. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors associated with poor outcomes.ResultsA total of 183 patients were included. The median age was 47 years, with 77.6% being women. During a median follow-up of 4.8 years, 88 patients developed compensated or decompensated cirrhosis, 27 died, and 15 received LT. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hepatocellular cholestasis (HR 2.953, 95% CI: 1.437-6.069), foam cells (HR 2.349, 95% CI: 1.092-5.053), and advanced fibrosis (HR 2.524, 95% CI: 1.313-4.851) were independent predictors of LT or liver-related deaths. A nomogram formulated with the above factors showed good consistency with a concordance index of 0.746 (95% CI: 0.706-0.785).ConclusionsNearly half of VBDS patients studied progressed to end-stage liver disease and 23% of them had LT or liver-related death within two years of diagnosis. Hepatocellular cholestasis, foam cells and advanced fibrosis rather than the degree of bile duct loss or underlying etiologies were independently associated with poor prognosis in VBDS patients.

Tubular bile duct structure mimicking bile duct morphogenesis for prospective in vitro liver metabolite recovery.

Project description:BackgroundLiver metabolites are used to diagnose disease and examine drugs in clinical pharmacokinetics. Therefore, development of an in vitro assay system that reproduces liver metabolite recovery would provide important benefits to pharmaceutical research. However, liver models have proven challenging to develop because of the lack of an appropriate bile duct structure for the accumulation and transport of metabolites from the liver parenchyma. Currently available bile duct models, such as the bile duct cyst-embedded extracellular matrix (ECM), lack any morphological resemblance to the tubular morphology of the living bile duct. Moreover, these systems cannot overcome metabolite recovery issues because they are established in isolated culture systems. Here, we successfully established a non-continuous tubular bile duct structure model in an open-culture system, which closely resembled an in vivo structure. This system was utilized to effectively collect liver metabolites separately from liver parenchymal cells.ResultsTriple-cell co-culture of primary rat hepatoblasts, rat biliary epithelial cells, and mouse embryonic fibroblasts was grown to mimic the morphogenesis of the bile duct during liver development. Overlaying the cells with ECM containing a Matrigel and collagen type I gel mixture promoted the development of a tubular bile duct structure. In this culture system, the expression of specific markers and signaling molecules related to biliary epithelial cell differentiation was highly upregulated during the ductal formation process. This bile duct structure also enabled the separate accumulation of metabolite analogs from liver parenchymal cells.ConclusionsA morphogenesis-based culture system effectively establishes an advanced bile duct structure and improves the plasticity of liver models feasible for autologous in vitro metabolite-bile collection, which may enhance the performance of high-throughput liver models in cell-based assays.
