The Partial Role of KLF4 and KLF5 in Gastrointestinal Tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

KLF4 and KLF5 are members of the KLF transcription factor family, which play an important role in many gastrointestinal tumors. To gain a deeper insight into its function and role, bioinformatics was used to analyze the function and role of KLF4 and KLF5 in gastrointestinal tumors.

Methods

Data were collected from several online databases. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), UALCAN database analysis, Kaplan-Meier Plotter analysis, LOGpc system, the Pathology Atlas, and the STRING website were used to analyze the data. We download relevant data from TCGA and then perform GO enrichment and KEGG enrichment analysis. The effects of KLF5 on gastric cancer cell proliferation were measured by CCK-8 assay. The effect of KLF5 on the expression of CyclinD1 and MMP9 was detected by Western blot.

Results

KLF4 and KLF5 were differentially expressed in normal and tumor tissues of the gastrointestinal tract, and their differential expression is related to several genes or pathways. KEGG analysis showed that KLF5 was coexpressed with endocytosis-related genes. KLF5 promotes the proliferation of gastric cancer cells and the expression of metastasis-related molecules.

Conclusion

KLF4 and KLF5 are of great significance for developing gastrointestinal tumors and can be used as therapeutic targets.

The Multifaceted Role of TGF-β in Gastrointestinal Tumors.

Project description:Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) is a secreted cytokine that signals via serine/threonine kinase receptors and SMAD effectors. Although TGF-β acts as a tumor suppressor during the early stages of tumorigenesis, it supports tumor progression in advanced stages. Indeed, TGF-β can modulate the tumor microenvironment by modifying the extracellular matrix and by sustaining a paracrine interaction between neighboring cells. Due to its critical role in cancer development and progression, a wide range of molecules targeting the TGF-β signaling pathway are currently under active clinical development in different diseases. Here, we focused on the role of TGF-β in modulating different pathological processes with a particular emphasis on gastrointestinal tumors.

Role of PLK1 signaling pathway genes in gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Project description:In previous studies by the authors, aurora kinase A (AURKA) was demonstrated as an independent poor prognostic marker for the recurrence of localized gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and for the progression of advanced GISTs. In the present study, the prognostic effect of genes involved in cell cycle regulation in GISTs was further examined. Leading edge analysis in gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify the most common genes in the top 10 enriched gene sets of high-risk patients with GISTs in a Japanese study. The obtained gene list was uploaded to the Pathway Interaction Database to search for critical pathways. Selected genes within the pathway were subsequently verified through immunohistochemistry (IHC) in another cohort of patients. A total of 5 genes in 'PLK1 signaling events,' namely AURKA, polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), cell division cycle 25C (CDC25C), budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles (BUB1), and targeting protein for Xklp2 (TPX2), were identified for subsequent study. Among the Japanese cohort, all 5 genes, except BUB1, were significant prognostic factors for poor recurrence-free survival (RFS). Among 141 patients enrolled for the IHC study, all 5 genes exhibited variable expression patterns. In the association study, only AURKA exhibited significant overexpression in non-gastric tumors. Although all 5 genes were considered as risk factors for poor RFS based on a univariate analysis, only the mitotic count and expression levels of CDC25C, BUB1, and TPX2 retained prognostic effects in the multivariate analysis. The PLK1 signaling pathway is crucial in the disease progression of GISTs. Genes within this pathway may serve as predictive markers for adjuvant therapy.

Evolving role of the endoscopist in management of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors.

Project description:Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are uncommon gastrointestinal neoplasms but have been increasingly recognized over the past few decades. Luminal NETs originate from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and careful endoscopic exam is a key for accurate diagnosis. Despite their reputation as indolent tumors with a good prognosis, some NETs may have aggressive features with associated poor long-term survival. Management of NETs requires full understanding of tumor size, depth of invasion, local lymphadenopathy status, and location within the gastrointestinal tract. Staging with endoscopic ultrasound or cross-sectional imaging is important for determining whether endoscopic treatment is feasible. In general, small superficial NETs can be managed by endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). In contrast, NETs larger than 2 cm are almost universally treated with surgical resection with lymphadenectomy. For those tumors between 11-20 mm in size, careful evaluation can identify which NETs may be managed with endoscopic resection. The increasing adoption of ESD may improve the results of endoscopic resection for luminal NETs. However, enthusiasm for endoscopic resection must be tempered with respect for the more definitive curative results afforded by surgical treatment with more advanced lesions.

Update on the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs): role of imatinib.

Project description:In the last decade a tremendous amount has been learned about the biology and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Imatinib mesylate has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic GIST. In addition, the role of imatinib in localized GIST has gained much interest and may improve patient outcomes. Additionally, research efforts aimed at understanding the biology and the molecular heterogeneity of GIST both at initial presentation and at the time of resistance to imatinib, has helped guide rational approaches to treatment as well as future efforts aimed at treating imatinib-resistant GIST.

Role of surgery in patients with focally progressive gastrointestinal stromal tumors resistant to imatinib.

Project description:The benefits of surgery for focally progressive gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) during imatinib therapy are still in discussion. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of surgical resection of progressive lesions following tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy (S group) or TKI therapy alone (NS group) in GIST patients. We retrospectively investigated 57 patients with focally progressive GIST during imatinib therapy who were treated in Zhongshan hospital, Fudan University. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the S group were significantly longer than those in the NS group. Among S group, the patients with R0 resection showed longer PFS than R2 resection; however, no difference was found between these two groups. Moreover, PFS and OS were not different in the NS-S group compared with S group. On multivariate analysis, surgery is an independent prognostic factor for longer PFS and OS. Our study supports the decision of treating GIST patients who were focally resistant to imatinib with surgery resection based on its benefit.

The Role of miR-375-3p and miR-200b-3p in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors.

Project description:Deregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles and their contribution to carcinogenesis have been observed in virtually all types of human cancer. However, their role in the pathogenesis of rare mesenchymal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is not well defined, yet. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of two miRNAs strongly downregulated in GIST-miR-375-3p and miR-200b-3p-in the pathogenesis of GIST. To achieve this, miRNA mimics were transfected into GIST-T1 cells and changes in the potential target gene mRNA and protein expression, as well as alterations in cell viability, migration, apoptotic cell counts and direct miRNA-target interaction, were evaluated. Results revealed that overexpression of miR-375-3p downregulated the expression of KIT mRNA and protein by direct binding to KIT 3'UTR, reduced GIST cell viability and migration rates. MiR-200b-3p lowered expression of ETV1 protein, directly targeted and lowered expression of EGFR mRNA and protein, and negatively affected cell migration rates. To conclude, the present study identified that miR-375-3p and miR-200b-3p have a tumor-suppressive role in GIST.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors: A multidisciplinary challenge.

Project description:Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors located in the alimentary tract. Its usual manifestation is gastrointestinal bleeding. However, small asymptomatic lesions are frequently detected as incidental finding. Characteristically, most GISTs (> 95%) are positive for the KIT protein (CD117) by IHC staining and approximately 80%-90% of GISTs carry a mutation in the c-KIT or PDGFRA genes. Mutational analysis should be performed when planning adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy, due to its possible resistance to conventional treatment. The arise of tyrosine kinase inhibitor has supposed a revolution in GISTs treatment being useful as adjuvant, neoadjuvant or recurrence disease treatment. That is why a multidisciplinary approach to this disease is required. The correct characterization of the tumor at diagnosis (the diagnosis of recurrences and the evaluation of the response to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors) is fundamental for facing these tumors and requires specialized Endoscopist, Radiologists and Nuclear Medicine Physician. Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for suspected resectable GIST. In the case of high risk GISTs, surgery plus adjuvant Imatinib-Mesylate for 3 years is the standard treatment. Neoadjuvant imatinib-mesylate should be considered to shrink the tumor in case of locally advanced primary or recurrence disease, unresectable or potentially resectable metastasic tumors, and potentially resectable disease in complex anatomic locations to decrease the related morbidity. In the case of Metastatic GIST under Neoadjuvant treatment, when there are complete response, stable disease or limited disease progression, complete cytoreductive surgery could be a therapeutic option if feasible.
