Project description:Total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard treatment for rectal cancer, while transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a recently introduced surgical approach for the treatment of rectal adenomas. Incorrect preoperative staging before TEM is a problem. To identify genetic changes that might correlate with tumour stage and could lead to optimized treatment selection we performed a genome-wide chromosomal instability search in a homogeneous, clinical cohort of rectal tumours. 78 rectal tumours during different clinical stages were analysed with 10K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays. Logistic regression was performed to build a quantitative model of specific chromosomal aberrations. Overall, most cases (95%) had one or more chromosomal aberrations. We observed a clear correlation between the total number of aberrations and the different tumour stages. Specifically, the chromosomal events: gain of 8q22â24, 13q and 20q, and loss of 17p and 18q12â22, were far more abundant in carcinoma than in adenoma. In adenoma fractions from cases with a carcinoma (infiltrating at least in the submucosa), twice the amount of such âmalignant aberrationsâ was observed, compared to pure adenomas. Furthermore, combined aberrations such as gain of 13q and loss of 18q were only found in adenomatous fractions of carcinomas and not in benign lesions. Based on these five genomic events associated with carcinoma, a clear distinction between adenoma and carcinoma tissue could be made. These data should be validated further in order that they may be used in preoperative staging of rectal tumours. Experiment Overall Design: 78 tumor samples and 19 reference normal samples

Project description:The incorporation of chemoradiation prior to resection of the tumour has revolutionized the management of locally advanced rectal cancer. However, a large proportion of these patients are resistant to preoperative treatment schedule. We recently reported that c-Myc gene expression correlates negatively with this resistance in patients with rectal cancer. In this study, we carried out integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression profiling in 45 pre-treatment rectal tumour. Further, expression of miRNAs and c-Myc, and their relationship with clinicopathological factors and patient survival was analysed. As a result, we found that 12 miRNAs were differentially expressed between responder and non-responder rectal cancer patients. Functional classification revealed an association between differentially expressed miRNAs and c-Myc. Subsequent quantitative real-time PCR results showed that both, miRNA-148 and miRNA-375 levels were significantly lower in responder compared to non-responder patients. Notably, the higher level of miRNA-375 was significantly negatively correlated with c-Myc. These results suggest that miRNA-375 and its targeted c-Myc play an important role as predictive biomarker of response to neoadjuvant treatment in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, but still not suitable for prognosis. Pre-treatment biopsies of 22 patients with LARC were prospectively collected and freshly frozen according to an institutional board-approved protocol. Tumour response was assessed in surgical specimens by pathological examination based on the semi-quantitative tumour regression grading (TRG) system described by Mandard in 1994[36]: TRG1 and TRG2 scores were considered responders, whereas TRG3, TRG4, and TRG5 were classified as non-responders. The inclusion criteria were: histologically proven rectal tumour at a clinical stage UICC II-III (cT3-4/and or N positive), following endorectal ultrasound and/or MRI scan. Patients were excluded if they had the tumour located above 13 cm from the anal verge by rigid rectoscopy, synchronic colonic cancer assessed by colonoscopy, distant metastases by 18FDG PET-CT scan, and suspicion of hereditary colorectal cancer. All patients subsequently received a total dose of 50.4Gy of radiation (28 fractions of 1.8Gy) associated with capecitabine (oral form of 5-FU) with or without oxaliplatine, according to our Hospital Clinical Practice Guidelines. Standardized Surgery was performed, including total mesorectal excision, following an interval of 8-10 weeks after completion of CT/RT.

Project description:A promising treatment for patients with advanced colorectal cancer is preoperative radiochemotherapy. The early side effects of this treatment have been considered to be acceptable. The aim of this study was to identify the effects of preoperative radiochemotherapy (PRT) on gene expression in tumour and normal colon rectal tissue form the same patients, before and after PRT. For that purpose, tissue samples from ten patients with operable rectal adenocarcinomas were collected for use in whole genomeâmicroarray based gene expression analysis. A factorial experimental design allowed us to look solely at the radiation effect on tumours. This resulted in 4496 differentially expressed genes in tumour tissue with p<0.05. In addition to known markers for radiochemotherapy, a Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) showed a significant enrichment in gene sets associated with cell adhesion and leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM). We conclude that radiochemotherapy has a greater effect in tumour tissue gene expression than normal tissue. Not only is the effect on normal tissue limited compared to tumour, but significantly different gene sets are enriched. The profound change of cell adhesion molecule expression in tumour tissue could either increase the risk of metastasis, or decrease the tumours invasive potential. Further characterization of genes involved in cell adhesion and leukocyte TEM may give new insights into the molecular responses to radiochemotherapy in colorectal cancer.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in humans are characterized by chronic inflammation and gastrointestinal tissue damage, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It has been largely documented that IBD frequently lead to colorectal cancers (CRC). The identification of causative factors of IBD is thus essential to understand CRC progression and develop therapeutical approaches. Models have been described in which molecular alterations are combined with inflammatory treatments in order to recapitulate IBD-associated CRC. Here, we describe a mouse line, α6fl/fl Villin-Cre, in which inactivation of the gene encoding the integrin alpha-6 subunit (ITGA6) specifically in the intestinal mucosa results into chronic inflammation and intestinal carcinogenesis. In these mice, the loss of integrin alpha-6 beta-4, a receptor mediating the attachment of epithelial cells to laminins, leads to epithelial detachment, hyperplasia, chronic inflammation, rectal prolapses, and ultimately adenocarcinomas. Alterations of differentiation affecting mucus secreting (goblet) cells as well as changes in expression of essential intestinal transcription factors were detected. Thus alpha-6 beta-4 integrin is a key factor for the maintenance of intestinal integrity and its loss may represent a risk factor for tumor progression associated with IBD. Transcriptome analysis of RNA from normal versus inflamed and carcinomatous rectal mucosa of α6 integrin deficient intestinal epithelium mice was performed. RNAs were prepared from 5 adenocarcinomas, which were macrodissected from the rectal prolapses and 4 flanking inflamed rectal mucosa of 53-80 week-old α6fl/fl Villin-Cre mice. RNAs from normal rectal mucosa were obtained by rectum scraping from 4 matched control animals. The transcriptome analysis was performed using the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Images were processed using affymetrix GeneChip® Command Console® Software (AGCC) (version 2.0) and numerical value were generated using Affymetrix Expression Console⢠Software (version 1.1).

Project description:Precision medicine approaches in ovarian cancer require the accurate diagnosis of histotypes. In particular, there is a critical need to distinguish endometroid (EC) from high grade serous (HGSC) carcinomas, which differ greatly in outcomes, genetic predisposition and optimal treatment approaches. Herein, we performed label-free quantitative proteomics on freshly frozen tumour tissues to discover biomarkers that may distinguish EC from HGSC, and then used IHC to validate these using a contemporarily classified cohort of EC and HGSC samples.
