Experience and Enhancement: Improving Colonoscopic Polyp Detection

ABSTRACT: The study looks at 2 hypotheses in 2 patient groups: 1. Are more experienced endoscopists better at detecting subtle lesions (polyps) on the lining of the colon (large bowel) than less experienced endoscopists? 2. Do existing and new techniques that can highlight lesions on the lining of the bowel improve endoscopists ability to spot them? This will be tested using video footage of endoscopies from 2 patient groups: those with a normal colon linig and those with colitis (bowel lining inflamation)

Transcriptome Profiling of Intact Bowel Wall Reveals that PDE1A and SEMA3D are Possible Markers with Roles in Enteric Smooth Muscle Apoptosis, Proliferative Disorders, and Autonomic Nervous Abnormality in Crohn's Disease.

Project description:To use surgical resection specimens of the intact bowel wall from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and perform RNA-seq, bioinformatics analysis, and validation by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to explore the subtle differences between Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), with predominant focus on the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and enteric autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Genetic and immunohistochemical analysis in a case of pleuropulmonary blastoma with renal tumor and small bowel polyps

Project description:The genetic cause for PPB in association with renal tumor and small bowel polyps remains to be identified. Activation of components of the mTOR signalling pathway in the disease lesions suggests that this signal transduction route may be involved in disease pathogenesis and that rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTOR, might be effective in the treatment of PPB and associated lesions. A combination of molecular cytogenetics and gene-specific mutation screens were performed to search for an underlying genetic cause for PPB in association with small bowel polyps. Immunohistochemical analysis to measure mTOR activation was performed on tissue from renal and lung tumor and small bowel polyps from the index case

Proteomic profiling of colorectal adenomas

Project description:Colorectal adenomas are cancer precursor lesions of the large bowel. In these preinvasive lesions, a vast array of genomic and epigenomic changes have been detailed, but the consequence of these molecular alterations on the effectors of biological function (proteins) has not been comprehensively explored.

Deletion of TNF in Winnie-ApcMin/+ mice reveals its dual role in the onset and progression of colitis-associated colorectal cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the best examples depicting the relationship between inflammation and increased cancer risk. The introduction of new therapeutic options targeting the inflammatory mediators has been shown to markedly decrease the overall risk of CRC even though their chemopreventive potential is still under debate [1,2]. Specifically, conflicting reports exist concerning the relationship between Infliximab, a monoclonal antibody that specifically blocks Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), and an increased risk of CRC in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). To address the axis between TNF and CRC development and progression, we depleted the Tnf from our previously established murine model of colitis-associated cancer (CAC), the Winnie-ApcMin/+ line. Surprisingly, a detailed histological characterization, demonstrated that the deletion of Tnf in Winnie-ApcMin/+ mice resulted in an initial reduction of dysplastic lesions incidence in 5-week-old mice, followed by faster disease progression with a unique molecular pattern at 8 weeks. Our results highlight that TNF could exert a dual role in CAC supporting the promotion of neoplastic lesions onset at the early stage of the disease and inducing their reduction during disease progression.

Study of colonoscopic surveillance intervals after removal of colorectal adenomas

Project description:Background and study aims Bowel polyps are small, benign (harmless) growths found on the inner lining of the colon (end part of the large intestine) or rectum. They are not usually cancerous, however if they are found they should be removed as some will eventually turn into cancer if left untreated. People who have been found to have bowel polyps need to undergo colposcopies in order to monitor the growth of polyps and check for new ones. This involves having a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end being inserted into the anus to look at the lining of the large intestine. The aim of this study is to find out how often these colonoscopies should take place to best monitor patients with bowel polyps to prevent the development of cancer. Who can participate? Patients aged between 20 and 71 attending St Mark’s Hospital between 1979-1990 with bowel polyps or bowel cancer. What does the study involve? Patients are divided into groups depending on their risk of developing bowel cancer. Those who have a high risk are randomly allocated to undergo colonoscopies at 12-18 month intervals or every three years. Those who have a low risk are randomly allocated to undergo examinations every three years or every five years. Throughout the study, all patients are monitored for the development of bowel cancer and at the end of the study, the best possible frequency of monitoring is determined.

Transcript Profiles of Microglia/Macrophage Cells at the Borders of Chronic Active and Subpial Gray Matter Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis

Project description:Microglia/macrophages line the border of demyelinated lesions in both cerebral white matter and cortex in multiple sclerosis brains. Microglia/macrophages associated with chronic white-matter lesions are thought to be responsible for slow lesion expansion and disability progression in progressive multiple sclerosis whereas those lining gray matter lesions are less studied. Profiling these microglia/macrophages could help to focus therapies on genes or pathways specific to lesion expansion and disease progression. We compared the morphology and transcript profiles of microglia/macrophages associated with borders of white matter (WM line) and subpial gray matter lesions (GM line) using laser capture microscopy. We performed RNAseq on isolated cells followed by immunocytochemistry to determine distribution of translational products of transcripts increased in WM line. Cells in WM line appear activated with shorter processes and larger cell bodies, whereas those in GM Line appear more homeostatic with smaller cell bodies and multiple thin processes. Transcript profiling revealed 176 genes in WM lines and 111 genes in GM lines as differentially expressed. Transcripts associated with immune activation and iron homeostasis were increased in WM line whereas genes belonging to canonical Wnt signaling pathway were increased in GM line. We propose that mechanisms of demyelination and dynamics of lesion expansion are responsible for differential transcript expression in WM lines and GM lines, and posit that increased expression of Fc epsilon receptor, spleen tyrosine kinase, and Bruton’s tyrosine kinase play a key role in regulating microglia/macrophage function at the border of chronic active white matter lesions.

Integrated clinical and genomic analysis identifies driver events and molecular evolution of colitis-associated cancers [Proj_07182_Z]

Project description:Inflammation has long been recognized to contribute to cancer development, particularly across the gastrointestinal tract. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have an increased risk for bowel cancers, and it has been posited that a field of genetic changes may underlie this risk. Wnt pathway alterations are infrequent, and our data suggest transcriptional rewiring away from Wnt. These findings suggest neoplastic bowel lesions developing in a background of inflammation experience lineage plasticity away from Wnt activation early during tumorigenesis and largely occur as genetically independent events.
