The High Ratio of the Plasma miR-96/miR-99b Correlated With Poor Prognosis in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Object: This study aims to clarify the expression of plasma miRNA in CRC patients, and to clarify the potential use of these miRNAs in diagnosis and prognosis, and to establish a prognostic model to initially explore its clinical value. Methods: We detected the expression of 6 miRNAs in normal colon epithelial cell lines and colorectal cancer cell lines by qRT-PCR and they were validated in the tissues of three subtypes: 20 healthy subjects, 41 pCRC and 49 mCRC patients. COX regression and ROC analyses use to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic efficacy of candidate miRNAs. Subsequently, we initially established a nomogram prognostic model. MiRNA is also used to construct miRNA-mRNA interaction network and PPI network modules. Results: Five miRNAs showed significant differential expression in pCRC, mCRC patients and normal groups. ROC analysis showed that CEA, miR-96, miR-99b and miR-96/miR-99b are distinguishable from pCRC and mCRC patients, with AUC ranging from 0.65 to 0.91; among them, the ratio of miR-96/miR-99b is stronger than any diagnostic indicators, such as CEA and CA125. Multivariate survival analysis identified miR-96, miR-99b, N stage, M stage and clinical stage as independent prognostic indicators of mCRC. The nomogram based on these 5 characteristics has satisfactory prognostic values. Conclusion: Our data indicate that plasma miR-96/miR-99b can be used as a promising biomarker for early detection of mCRC patients; our nomogram has a promising evaluation value.

Fibrosis in metastatic lymph nodes is clinically correlated to poor prognosis in colorectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundTumor microenvironment including fibrosis has a pivotal role in cancer growth and distant metastasis. Fibrosis is a known risk factor for carcinogenesis, but its biological role in disease invasion and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. In particular, there is no report on how fibrosis of metastatic lymph nodes (MLNs) in CRC contributes to prognosis.MethodsWe reviewed 94 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients with MLNs who underwent colectomy. Both the primary tumors and MLNs were analyzed for alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression and collagen deposition.ResultsHigher α-SMA expression and collagen deposition in MLNs were associated with significantly shorter relapse-free survival and overall survival in CRC patients. α-SMA expression in MLNs (HR, 1.53; p = 0.034) was independent predictive factor of overall survival in multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of clinicopathological factors. In the Stage III patient subgroup, α-SMA expression in MLNs was a strong prognostic marker (HR, 3.01; p = 0.006). On the other hand, higher α-SMA expression and collagen deposition in primary tumors were associated with short overall survival, but they were not significant factors in multivariate Cox regression analyses. In MLNs, the podoplanin signals co-localized with α-SMA expression and were confirmed by the dual immunofluorescence staining, implying that the MLN stromal cells were fibroblastic reticular cells.ConclusionBoth high collagen deposition and high α-SMA expression in MLNs predicted poor prognosis in CRC.

Circulating plasma MiR-141 is a novel biomarker for metastatic colon cancer and predicts poor prognosis.

Project description:BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the major cancer types and cancer related death worldwide. Sensitive, non-invasive biomarkers that can facilitate disease detection, staging and prediction of therapeutic outcome are highly desirable to improve survival rate and help to determine optimized treatment for CRC. The small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs), have recently been identified as critical regulators for various diseases including cancer and may represent a novel class of cancer biomarkers. The purpose of this study was to identify and validate circulating microRNAs in human plasma for use as such biomarkers in colon cancer.Methodology/principal findingsBy using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, we found that circulating miR-141 was significantly associated with stage IV colon cancer in a cohort of 102 plasma samples. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of candidate plasma microRNA markers. We observed that combination of miR-141 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a widely used marker for CRC, further improved the accuracy of detection. These findings were validated in an independent cohort of 156 plasma samples collected at Tianjin, China. Furthermore, our analysis showed that high levels of plasma miR-141 predicted poor survival in both cohorts and that miR-141 was an independent prognostic factor for advanced colon cancer.Conclusions/significanceWe propose that plasma miR-141 may represent a novel biomarker that complements CEA in detecting colon cancer with distant metastasis and that high levels of miR-141 in plasma were associated with poor prognosis.

Endothelium-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Associate with Poor Prognosis in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Elevated, tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (tdEV) and circulating tumor cell (CTC) loads in metastatic cancer are associated with poor clinical outcome. Herein, we investigate whether endothelium-derived extracellular vesicles (edEVs) can be detected in the blood of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients, and whether those vesicles associate with prognosis. The open-source ACCEPT (Automated CTC Classification, Enumeration, and Phenotyping) software was used to enumerate edEVs, tdEVs, and other objects from digitally stored CellSearch images acquired after CTC and circulating endothelial cell (CEC) enrichment from the blood of 395 mCRC patients before the initiation of a new therapy. Patients had participated in the prospective phase III CAIRO2 study. The presence of edEVs was found 5- to 10-fold higher than CECs. The hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) of progression-free survival (PFS) for increased CTCs (≥3 in 7.5 mL), tdEVs (≥40 in 7.5 mL), and edEVs (≥287 in 4.0 mL.) was 1.4 (1.1-1.9), 2.0 (1.5-2.6), and 1.7 (1.2-2.5), respectively. The HR of Overall Survival (OS) for increased CTCs, tdEVs and edEVs was 2.2 (1.7-3.0), 2.7 (2.0-3.5), and 2.1 (1.5-2.8), respectively. There was no cut-off value for CECs, leading to a dichotomization of patients with a significant HR. Only tdEVs remained a significant predictor of OS in the final multivariable model.

Interleukin-11-expressing fibroblasts have a unique gene signature correlated with poor prognosis of colorectal cancer

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-11 is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines and involved in multiple cellular responses, including tumor development. However, the origin and functions of IL-11-producing (IL-11+) cells are not fully understood. To characterize IL-11+ cells in vivo, we generated Il11 reporter mice. IL-11+ cells appeared in the colon of murine tumor and acute colitis models. Il11ra1 or Il11 deletion attenuated the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer. IL-11+ cells expressed fibroblast markers, and genes associated with cell proliferation and tissue repair. IL-11 induced the activation of colonic fibroblasts and epithelial cells through phosphorylation of STAT3. Human cancer database analysis revealed that a set of genes enriched in IL-11+ fibroblasts was elevated in human colorectal cancer, and correlated with reduced recurrence-free survival. Together, IL-11+ fibroblasts activate both tumor cells and fibroblasts via secretion of IL-11, thereby constituting a feed forward loop between tumor cells and fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment.

Decreased expression of miR-193a-3p is associated with poor prognosis in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an early and key process in the metastatic cascade during the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of the present study was to identify deregulated EMT-related microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) of CRC and assess the effect of differentially expressed miRNAs on the prognosis of patients with CRC. Genome-wide expression profiling of miRNAs was assessed in 3 EMT-negative and 3 EMT-positive CRC tissues. Differentially expressed miRNA was further validated in 90 pairs of CRC and corresponding paracarcinoma tissues using the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). A total of 6 miRNAs (miR-10a-5p miR-204-3p, miR-1224-3p, miR-193a-3p, miR-365a-3p and miR-3678-3p) were identified to be differentially expressed between different EMT statuses of CRC tissues. Following validation using RT-qPCR, 3 miRNAs (miR-10a-5p, miR-365a-3p and miR-193a-3p) were selected for subsequent studies. The expression levels of miR-10a-5p, miR-193a-3p and miR-365a-3p were markedly increased compared with levels in corresponding paracarcinoma tissues. Survival analyses revealed that down-regulation of miR-193a-3p was associated with worse prognosis of patients with CRC, particularly in female and older patients. The results of the present study indicate that miR-193a-3p may be an EMT-related biomarker and serve as a novel prognostic factor for CRC.

Circulating Exosomal miR-150-5p and miR-99b-5p as Diagnostic Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer.

Project description:Background: Circulating exosomal miRNAs are potential non-invasive biomarkers for colorectal cancer. The present study aimed to validate the novel sensitive and specific exosomal miRNA biomarkers for diagnosing colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients and Methods: Exosomes isolated from the serum of CRC patients and healthy donors by ultracentrifugation were characterized using TEM, qNano, and immunoblotting. The exosomes from 2 healthy donors and 4 CRC patients were subjected to RNA isolation and miRNA sequencing. The differently expressed miRNAs from 165 primary CRC patients and 153 healthy donors were substantiated by RT-qPCR. Results: The RNA-sequence data analysis revealed that 29 exosomal miRNAs (20 downregulated and 9 upregulated) with >1.5-fold difference between CRC patients and healthy donors were selected. The serum exosomal miR-99b-5p and miR-150-5p levels were significantly downregulated in CRC patients as compared to healthy donors (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively) and benign disease (p = 0.009 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The expression levels of exosomal miR-99b-5p and miR-150-5p were significantly decreased in early CRC patients as compared to healthy donors (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The expression levels of exosomal miR-99b-5p and miR-150-5p were significantly increased postoperatively (p = 0.0058 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that serum exosomal miRNAs are promising, sensitive, specific, and non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for CRC. Impact: This is the first study to specifically identify exosomal miR-99b-5p and miR-150-5p associated with CRC. This study, therefore, might deepen the understanding of tumor-derived exosomes for CRC diagnosis.

High nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio of Cdk1 expression predicts poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients.

Project description:BackgroundCdk1 (cyclin-dependent kinase 1) is critical regulator of the G2-M checkpoint. Cyclin-dependent kinase pathways are considered possible targets for cancer treatment; however, the prognostic role of Cdk1 in colorectal cancer is still controversial. Therefore, we attempted to determine the impact of Cdk1 on the clinical outcome of colorectal cancer patients to further identify its role in colorectal cancer.MethodsCdk1 immunoreactivity was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 164 cancer specimens from primary colorectal cancer patients. The medium follow-up time after surgery was 3.7 years (range: 0.01 to 13.10 years). The prognostic value of Cdk1 on overall survival was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models.ResultsAll samples displayed detectable Cdk1 expression with predominant location in the cytoplasm and nucleus. A high Cdk1 nuclear/cytoplasmic (N/C) expression ratio was correlated with poor overall survival (5-year survival rate: 26.3% vs 46.9%, N/C ratio ?1.5 vs N/C ratio <1.5, log-rank p = 0.027). Accordingly, a Cdk1 N/C expression ratio ?1.5 was identified as an independent risk factor by multivariate analysis (hazard ratio = 1.712, P = 0.039).ConclusionsWe suggest that Cdk1 N/C expression ratio determined by IHC staining could be an independent prognostic marker for colorectal cancer.

EMAST is associated with a poor prognosis in microsatellite instable metastatic colorectal cancer.

Project description:PurposeTo determine the frequency and prognostic value of elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients in relation to microsatellite instability (MSI) status and MSH3 protein expression.Material and methodsThe frequency of EMAST was evaluated in mCRC patients with MSI tumors and microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors. A literature overview was performed to compare the frequency of EMAST in our study with existing data. Immunohistochemistry for MSH3 was compared with EMAST status. Outcome was studied in terms of overall survival (OS) of mCRC patients with MSI and MSS tumors.ResultsEMAST was evaluated in 89 patients with MSI tumors (including 39 patients with Lynch syndrome) and 94 patients with MSS tumors. EMAST was observed in 45.9% (84 out of 183) of patients, with an increased frequency in MSI tumors (79.8% versus 13.8%, p < 0.001). We found no correlation between EMAST and MSH3 protein expression. There was no effect of EMAST on prognosis in patients with MSS tumors, but patients with MSI / non-EMAST tumors had a significantly better prognosis than patients with MSI / EMAST tumors (OS: HR 3.22, 95% CI 1.25-8.30).ConclusionFrequency of EMAST was increased in mCRC patients with MSI tumors, compared to MSS tumors. Our data suggest that the presence of EMAST correlates with worse OS in these patients. There was no effect of EMAST on the prognosis of patients with MSS tumors. A limitation of our study is the small number of patients in our subgroup analysis.

Expression of a marker for colonic crypt base cells is correlated with poor prognosis in human colorectal cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND: There is a need for markers in colorectal cancer which will allow subclassification of stage groups into subgroups with high versus low risk of recurrent disease. AIMS: To develop monoclonal antibodies that recognise antigens or immature crypt base cells, on the assumption that in a neoplasm undifferentiated but not the terminally differentiated cells will be responsible for tumour progression. METHODS: Colon crypt cells which were isolated from human colonic mucosa by EDTA/EGTA incubation were studied. By stepwise harvesting, crypt base cell enriched fractions were obtained, and after incubation with antibodies against dominant antigens, used as immunogens. RESULTS: Of one crypt base cell specific antibody (5E9), the reactive epitope appeared to be a non-terminal carbohydrate in the mucin O-glycans of the colon. The epitope did not seem to be colon specific, but was expressed in a variety of other tissues. In colorectal carcinomas, 5E9 immunoreactivity identified a subgroup of patients with a tendency for worse prognosis. CONCLUSION: A mucin associated maturation epitope was identified in colonic crypt base cells, the expression of which in Dukes' stage B3 colorectal carcinoma may be associated with poor prognosis.
