Transcriptomic Analyses of the Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence Identify Hallmarks Associated With the Onset of Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The concept of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in colorectal cancer (CRC) is widely accepted. However, the relationship between the characteristics of the transcriptome and the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in CRC remains unclear. Here, the transcriptome profiles of 15 tissue samples from five CRC patients were generated by RNAseq. Six specific dynamic expression patterns of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were generated by mFuzz. Weighted correlation network analysis showed that DEGs in cluster 4 were associated with carcinoma tissues, and those in cluster 6 were associated with non-normal tissues. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses identified metabolic dysregulation as a consistent finding throughout the transition process, whereas downregulation of the immune response occurred during normal to adenoma transition, and the upregulation of canonical pathways was associated with adenoma to carcinoma transition. Overall survival analysis of patients in cluster 6 identified TPD52L1 as a marker of poor prognosis, and cell proliferation, colony formation, wound healing, and Transwell invasion assays showed that high expression levels of TPD52L1 promoted malignant behaviors. In total, 70 proteins were identified as potential partners of hD53 by mass spectrometry. CRC formation was associated with three cancer hallmarks: dysregulation of metabolism, inactivation of the immune response, and activation of canonical cancer pathways. The TPD52L1 gene was identified as a potential marker to track tumor formation in CRC and as an indicator of poor patient prognosis.

Identification of genes associated with the onset of colorectal cancer by transcriptomic analyses of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence

Project description:In the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC), the stepwise progression from adenoma to carcinoma is marked by a series of specific genetic alterations of known oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. However, many patient-matched features of the transcriptome involved in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence remain unidentified. The aim of this study was to identify genes associated with the process of CRC formation by analyzing the characteristics of the transcriptome during tumor formation. Six dynamic expression patterns specific to tumor formation were characterized for the first time. Dysregulation of metabolic pathways, suppression of the immune system, and activation of canonical pathways related to cancer were associated with the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Among a cluster of genes positively correlated with tumor formation, TPD52L1 was identified as a gene that induced oncologic behaviors and a biomarker for poor prognosis.

A Gene-Based Machine Learning Classifier Associated to the Colorectal Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis is generally the result of the sequential mutation and deletion of various genes; this is known as the normal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. The aim of this study was to develop a predictor-classifier during the "adenoma-carcinoma" sequence using microarray gene expression profiles of primary CRC, adenoma, and normal colon epithelial tissues. Four gene expression profiles from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, containing 465 samples (105 normal, 155 adenoma, and 205 CRC), were preprocessed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between adenoma tissue and primary CRC. The feature selection procedure, using the sequential Boruta algorithm and Stepwise Regression, determined 56 highly important genes. K-Means methods showed that, using the selected 56 DEGs, the three groups were clearly separate. The classification was performed with machine learning algorithms such as Linear Model (LM), Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The best classification method in terms of accuracy (88.06 ± 0.70) and AUC (92.04 ± 0.47) was k-NN. To confirm the relevance of the predictive models, we applied the four models on a validation cohort: the k-NN model remained the best model in terms of performance, with 91.11% accuracy. Among the 56 DEGs, we identified 17 genes with an ascending or descending trend through the normal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Moreover, using the survival information of the TCGA database, we selected six DEGs related to patient prognosis (SCARA5, PKIB, CWH43, TEX11, METTL7A, and VEGFA). The six-gene-based classifier described in the current study could be used as a potential biomarker for the early diagnosis of CRC.

Analysis of potential genes and pathways associated with the colorectal normal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence.

Project description:This study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to the colorectal normal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence using bioinformatics analysis. Raw data files were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and underwent quality assessment and preprocessing. DEGs were analyzed by the limma package in R software (R version 3.3.2). Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed with the DAVID online tool. In a comparison of colorectal adenoma (n = 20) and colorectal cancer (CRC) stage I (n = 31), II (n = 38), III (n = 45), and IV (n = 62) with normal colorectal mucosa (n = 19), we identified 336 common DEGs. Among them, seven DEGs were associated with patient prognosis. Five (HEPACAM2, ITLN1, LGALS2, MUC12, and NXPE1) of the seven genes presented a sequentially descending trend in expression with tumor progression. In contrast, TIMP1 showed a sequentially ascending trend. GCG was constantly downregulated compared with the gene expression level in normal mucosa. The significantly enriched GO terms included extracellular region, extracellular space, protein binding, and carbohydrate binding. The KEGG categories included HIF-1 signaling pathway, insulin secretion, and glucagon signaling pathway. We discovered seven DEGs in the normal colorectal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence that was associated with CRC patient prognosis. Monitoring changes in these gene expression levels may be a strategy to assess disease progression, evaluate treatment efficacy, and predict prognosis.

Advanced colorectal adenoma related gene expression signature may predict prognostic for colorectal cancer patients with adenoma-carcinoma sequence.

Project description:BACKGROUND:There are still no absolute parameters predicting progression of adenoma into cancer. The present study aimed to characterize functional differences on the multistep carcinogenetic process from the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. METHODS:All samples were collected and mRNA expression profiling was performed by using Agilent Microarray high-throughput gene-chip technology. Then, the characteristics of mRNA expression profiles of adenoma-carcinoma sequence were described with bioinformatics software, and we analyzed the relationship between gene expression profiles of adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence and clinical prognosis of colorectal cancer. RESULTS:The mRNA expressions of adenoma-carcinoma sequence were significantly different between high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia group and adenocarcinoma group. The biological process of gene ontology function enrichment analysis on differentially expressed genes between high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia group and adenocarcinoma group showed that genes enriched in the extracellular structure organization, skeletal system development, biological adhesion and itself regulated growth regulation, with the P value after FDR correction of less than 0.05. In addition, IPR-related protein mainly focused on the insulin-like growth factor binding proteins. CONCLUSION:The variable trends of gene expression profiles for adenoma-carcinoma sequence were mainly concentrated in high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and adenocarcinoma. The differentially expressed genes are significantly correlated between high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia group and adenocarcinoma group. Bioinformatics analysis is an effective way to study the gene expression profiles in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence, and may provide an effective tool to involve colorectal cancer research strategy into colorectal adenoma or advanced adenoma.

Metagenomic analyses of the gut microbiota associated with colorectal adenoma.

Project description:Recent studies have suggested an association between certain members of the Fusobacterium genus, especially F. nucleatum, and the progression of advanced colorectal carcinoma (CRC). We assessed such an association of the gut microbiota in Japanese patients with colorectal adenoma (CRA) or intramucosal CRC using colonoscopy aspirates. We analyzed samples from 81 Japanese patients, including 47 CRA and 24 intramucosal CRC patients, and 10 healthy subjects. Metagenomic analysis of the V3-V4 region of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene was performed. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) effect size (LEfSe) method was used to examine microbial dysbiosis, revealing significant differences in bacterial abundances between the healthy controls and CRA or intramucosal CRC patients. In particular, F. varium was statistically more abundant in patients with CRA and intramucosal CRC than in healthy subjects. Here, we present the metagenomic profile of CRA and intramucosal CRC and demonstrate that F. varium is at least partially involved in the pathogenesis of CRA and intramucosal CRC.

A Dynamic Transcription Factor Signature Along the Colorectal Adenoma-Carcinoma Sequence in Patients With Co-Occurrent Adenoma and Carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundColorectal carcinoma (CRC) often arises from benign adenoma after a stepwise accumulation of genetic alterations. Here, we profiled the dynamic landscapes of transcription factors (TFs) in the mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma progression sequence.MethodsThe transcriptome data of co-occurrent adenoma, carcinoma, and normal mucosa samples were obtained from GSE117606. Identification of differentially expressed TFs (DE-TFs) and subsequent function annotation were conducted in R software. Expression patterns of DE-TFs were clustered by Short Time-series Expression Miner software. Thereafter, modular co-expression analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, mutation profiling, and gene set enrichment analysis were conducted to investigate TF dynamics in colorectal tumorigenesis. Finally, tissue microarrays, including 51 tumors, 32 adenomas, and 53 normal tissues, were employed to examine the expression of significant candidates by immunohistochemistry staining.ResultsCompared to normal tissues, 20 (in adenoma samples) and 29 (in tumor samples) DE-TFs were identified. During the disease course, 28 expression patterns for DE-TFs and four co-expression modules were clustered. Notably, six DE-TFs, DACH1, GTF2IRD1, MEIS2, NR3C2, SOX9, and SPIB, were identified as having a dynamic signature along the colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence. The dynamic signature was of significance in GO enrichment, prognosis, and co-expression analysis. Among the 6-TF signature, the roles of GTF2IRD1, SPIB and NR3C2 in CRC progression are unclear. Immunohistochemistry validation showed that GTF2IRD1 enhanced significantly throughout the mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma sequence, while SPIB and NR3C2 kept decreasing in stroma during the disease course.ConclusionsOur study provided a dynamic 6-TF signature throughout the course of colorectal mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma. These findings deepened the understanding of colorectal cancer pathogenesis.

Transcriptome Analyses Identify Deregulated <i>MYC</i> in Early Onset Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Despite a global decrease in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence, the prevalence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC), or those occurring in individuals before the age of 50, has steadily increased over the past several decades. When compared to later onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC) in individuals over 50, our understanding of the genetic and molecular underpinnings of EOCRCs is limited. Here, we conducted transcriptomic analyses of patient-matched normal colonic segments and tumors to identify gene expression programs involved in carcinogenesis. Amongst differentially expressed genes, we found increased expression of the c-MYC proto-oncogene (MYC) and its downstream targets in tumor samples. We identified tumors with high and low differential MYC expression and found patients with high-MYC tumors were older and overweight or obese. We also detected elevated expression of the PVT1 long-non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in most tumors and found gains in copy number for both MYC and PVT1 gene loci in 35% of tumors evaluated. Our transcriptome analyses indicate that EOCRC can be sub-classified into groups based on differential MYC expression and suggest that deregulated MYC contributes to CRCs that develop in younger patients.

Loss of PTPRM associates with the pathogenic development of colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence.

Project description:Identification and functional analysis of genes from genetically altered chromosomal regions would suggest new molecular targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Here we performed a genome-wide analysis of chromosomal copy number alterations (CNAs) in matching sets of colon mucosa-adenoma-carcinoma samples using high-throughput oligonucleotide microarray analysis. In silico analysis of NCBI GEO and TCGA datasets allowed us to uncover the significantly altered genes (p ≤ 0.001) associated with the identified CNAs. We performed quantitative PCR analysis of the genomic and complementary DNA derived from primary mucosa, adenoma, and carcinoma samples, and confirmed the recurrent loss and down-regulation of PTPRM in colon adenomas and carcinomas. Functional characterization demonstrated that PTPRM negatively regulates cell growth and colony formation, whereas loss of PTPRM promotes oncogenic cell growth. We further showed that, in accordance to Knudson's two-hit hypothesis, inactivation of PTPRM in colon cancer was mainly attributed to loss of heterozygosity and promoter hypermethylation. Taken together, this study demonstrates a putative tumor suppressive role for PTPRM and that genetic and epigenetic alterations of PTPRM may contribute to early step of colorectal tumorigenesis.

Gene expression profiling of colorectal tissues in the early adenoma-carcinoma sequence

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. Colorectal polyps are recognised pre-cursors of CRC, however hyperplastic polyps lack malignant potential. The purpose of this study was to identify differences in gene expression between normal colonic mucosa, hyperplastic and adenomatous polyps from disease-free individuals. By comparing polyps believed to have malignant potential (adenomatous polyps) with hyperplastic polyps it is hoped that new insights into colorectal carcinogenesis can be achieved.
