The Molecular Predisposition to Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC)

ABSTRACT: The goal of this study is to understand factors which may influence risk for colorectal and other cancers in families. These factors include genetic variability, in combination with diet and lifestyle. In order to achieve these goals, we need to contact as many eligible participants as possible.

Distinct tumorigenic pathways within hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

Project description:Gene expression profiling has discriminated between sporadic microsatellite instable (MSI) and microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancers (CRCs), whereas the expression pattern of familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX) and Lynch syndrome (LS) associated CRCs remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to use gene expression profiling of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens from FCCTX, LS and sporadic CRC as a control to detect expression patterns and to identify signaling pathways differing between FCCTX and LS tumors.

MLH1-rheMac hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome in rhesus macaques.

Project description:Over the past two decades, 33 cases of colonic adenocarcinomas have been diagnosed in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) at the nonhuman primate colony of the Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The distinctive feature in these cases, based on PET/computed tomography (CT) imaging, was the presence of two or three tumor lesions in different locations, including proximal to the ileocecal juncture, proximal to the hepatic flexure, and/or in the sigmoid colon. These colon carcinoma lesions selectively accumulated [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) and [18F]fluoroacetate ([18F]FACE) at high levels, reflecting elevated carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism in these tumors. In contrast, the accumulation of [18F]fluorothymidine ([18F]FLT) was less significant, reflecting slow proliferative activity in these tumors. The diagnoses of colon carcinomas were confirmed by endoscopy. The expression of MLH1, MSH2, and MSH6 proteins and the degree of microsatellite instability (MSI) was assessed in colon carcinomas. The loss of MLH1 protein expression was observed in all tumors and was associated with a deletion mutation in the MLH1 promoter region and/or multiple single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutations in the MLH1 gene. All tumors exhibited various degrees of MSI. The pedigree analysis of this rhesus macaque population revealed several clusters of affected animals related to each other over several generations, suggesting an autosomal dominant transmission of susceptibility for colon cancer. The newly discovered hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome in rhesus macaques, termed MLH1-rheMac, may serve as a model for development of novel approaches to diagnosis and therapy of Lynch syndrome in humans.

Hyperplastic polyps are innocuous lesions in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers.

Project description:Aims. To compare methylation profiles, protein expression, and microsatellite instability (MSI) of sporadic, HNPCC, and familial hyperplastic polyps (HPs). Methods. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and pyrosequencing assessed p16, MGMT, hMLH-1, MINT 1, and MINT 31 methylation. IHC (Immunohistochemistry) assessed Ki67, CK20, hMLH-1, hMSH-2, and hMSH-6 protein expression. MSI analysis was performed on those polyps with adequate DNA remaining. Results. 124 HPs were identified 78 sporadic, 21 HNPCC, 25 familial, and the HNPCC group demonstrated no significant differences in overall methylation (P = .186 Chi(2)). The familial group demonstrated significantly less over all methylation levels (P = .004 Chi(2)). Conclusions. HPs that occur in HNPCC have no more worrying features at a molecular level than those patients with HPs in a sporadic setting.

Dominantly Inherited Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer Not Caused by MMR Genes.

Project description:In the past two decades, multiple studies have been undertaken to elucidate the genetic cause of the predisposition to mismatch repair (MMR)-proficient nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we present the proposed candidate genes according to their involvement in specific pathways considered relevant in hereditary CRC and/or colorectal carcinogenesis. To date, only pathogenic variants in RPS20 may be convincedly linked to hereditary CRC. Nevertheless, accumulated evidence supports the involvement in the CRC predisposition of other genes, including MRE11, BARD1, POT1, BUB1B, POLE2, BRF1, IL12RB1, PTPN12, or the epigenetic alteration of PTPRJ. The contribution of the identified candidate genes to familial/early onset MMR-proficient nonpolyposis CRC, if any, is extremely small, suggesting that other factors, such as the accumulation of low risk CRC alleles, shared environmental exposures, and/or gene-environmental interactions, may explain the missing heritability in CRC.

Aberrant DNA methylation in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer without mismatch repair deficiency.

Project description:Approximately half of the families that fulfill Amsterdam criteria for Lynch syndrome or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) do not have evidence of the germline mismatch repair gene mutations that define this syndrome and result in microsatellite instability (MSI). The carcinogenic pathways and the best diagnostic approaches to detect microsatellite stable (MSS) HNPCC tumors are unclear. We investigated the contribution of epigenetic alterations to the development of MSS HNPCC tumors.Colorectal cancers were divided into 4 groups: (1) microsatellite stable, Amsterdam-positive (MSS HNPCC) (N = 22); (2) Lynch syndrome cancers (identified mismatch repair mutations) (N = 21); (3) sporadic MSS (N = 92); and (4) sporadic MSI (N = 46). Methylation status was evaluated for CACNAG1, SOCS1, RUNX3, NEUROG1, MLH1, and long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (LINE-1). KRAS and BRAF mutation status was analyzed.MSS HNPCC tumors displayed a significantly lower degree of LINE-1 methylation, a marker for global methylation, than any other group. Although most MSS HNPCC tumors had some degree of CpG island methylation, none presented a high index of methylation. MSS HNPCC tumors had KRAS mutations exclusively in codon 12, but none harbored V600E BRAF mutations.Tumors from Amsterdam-positive patients without mismatch repair deficiency (MSS HNPCC) have certain molecular features, including global hypomethylation, that distinguish them from all other colorectal cancers. These characteristics could have an important impact on tumor behavior or treatment response. Studies are underway to further assess the cause and effects of these features.
