Alcohol Intake, Alcohol Metabolizing Enzymes Gene Polymorphisms and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer

ABSTRACT: According to the statistic reports from World Health Organization (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer ranked third and fourth respectively among ten most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide; moreover, based on the statistics from Health Promotion Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan, the incidence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer ranked second and third respectively among call cancer in Taiwanese population. However, if colorectal cancer is diagnosed and treated in early phase, the 5-year survival rate for stage I colorectal cancer can be up to 90%; on the other hand, the 5-year survival rate for end stage colorectal cancer is only approximately 10%. Therefore, the screening, early diagnosis od colorectal cancer is crucial. To date, there are some known risk factors for colorectal cancer, including familial adenomatous polyposis, obesity, physical inactivity, etc. Alcohol had also been identified as an important risk factor for colorectal cancer, and the risk could be higher among Asian population because of the reduced enzymatic activity of some of the alcohol metabolizing enzymes. Thus, through this study, the investigators hope to find out the risk factors of colorectal cancer among Taiwanese population, including alcohol metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms and their interaction with environmental factors, to attain the purpose of early prevention of colorectal cancer.

Comparative profiling of primary colorectal carcinomas and liver metastases

Project description:PURPOSE: We sought to identify genes of clinical significance to predict survival and the risk for colorectal liver metastasis (CLM), the most common site of metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We profiled gene expression in 31 specimens from primary CRC and 32 unmatched specimens of CLM, and performed Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) of the expressed genes between these two groups. To characterize the clinical relevance of two highly-ranked differentially expressed signature genes, we analyzed the expression of secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1 or osteopontin) and lymphoid enhancer factor-1 (LEF1) by immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray (TMA) representing an independent set of 154 patients with primary CRC. Supervised analysis using SAM identified 963 genes with significantly higher expression in CLM compared to primary CRC, with a false discovery rate of <0.5%. TMA analysis showed SPP1 and LEF1 protein overexpression in 60% and 44% of CRC cases, respectively. Subsequent occurrence of CLM was significantly correlated with the overexpression of LEF1 (chi-square p = 0.035), but not SPP1 (p = 0.14). Kaplan Meier analysis revealed significantly worse survival in patients with overexpression of LEF1 (p < 0.01), but not SPP1 (p = 0.11). Both univariate and multivariate analyses identified stage (p < 0.0001) and LEF1 overexpression (p < 0.05) as important prognostic markers, but not tumor grade or SPP1. CONCLUSION: Among signature genes differentially expressed between CLM and primary CRC, we demonstrate overexpression of LEF1 in primary CRC to be a prognostic factor for poor survival and increased risk for liver metastasis. cDNA microarrays from the Stanford Functional Genomics Facility were used to perform mRNA transcript profiling of 31 freshly-frozen primary colorectal cancer specimens, and compared to published profiles of 32 unmatched colorectal liver metastases and 12 normal liver specimens.

Modulation of Serpin family levels detected by proteomics to monitor colorectal adenoma to carcinoma progression

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major cause of cancer related-death in developed countries. The risk of death is correlated with the stage of CRC determined at the primary diagnosis and early diagnosis is associated with enhanced survival rate. Consequently, there is an interest in using proteomics technologies to identify specific markers of adenomatous polyps as well as advanced stages of CRC.This study supports the concept that serum proteins can discriminate adenoma and CRC patients from unaffected patients and highlights the value of the SERPIN family as potential biomarkers of CRC.

Short term exposure to alcohol induces transcriptional changes in non-tumorigenic breast cells

Project description:Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women (*). Many genetic and behavioral risk factors can contribute to the initiation and progression of breast cancer, one being alcohol consumption. Numerous epidemiological studies have established a positive correlation between alcohol consumption and breast cancer; however, the molecular basis for this link remains ill defined. Elucidating ethanol-induced changes to global transcriptional programming in breast cells is important to ultimately understand how alcohol and breast cancer are connected mechanistically. We investigated early induced transcriptional changes in response to cellular exposure to moderate levels of alcohol. We treated the non-tumorigenic breast cell line MCF10A, and the tumorigenic breast cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MCF7, with ethanol for 6 h, then captured the changes to ongoing transcription using 4-thiouridine metabolic labeling followed by deep sequencing. Only the MCF10A cell line exhibited statistically significant changes to ongoing transcription in response to ethanol treatment. Further experiments revealed some ethanol-upregulated genes are sensitive to the dose of alcohol treatment, while others are not. Gene ontology and biochemical pathway analyses revealed that ethanol-upregulated genes in MCF10A cells are enriched in biological functions that could contribute to cancer development.

Gene expression analysis of pancreatic cancer tissues in mice

Project description:To examine effects of environmental risk factors on pancreatic cancer development, we fed control Pdx1-Cre (WT) and Pdx1-Cre; Kras-flox (Kras) mice with a Western alcohol diet containing high-cholesterol and high-saturated fat diet and 3.5% alcohol for 5 months. To enhance alcohol-induced pancreatic injury, we added a low dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 μg/ml) to the diet. Mice were also given 7 hourly injections of cerulein (50 μg/kg) 4 times from the 1st to 4th month. To mimic tobacco smoking, we injected tobacco-derived carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK, 100 mg/kg) 4 times from the 1st to 4th month. Pancreas tissues were collected from Pdx1-Cre (n=3, normal) and Pdx1-Cre; Kras-flox (n=6, all) mice. Kras-flox (Kras) mice were also fed a regular chow (n=3, control) or 3.5% alcohol diet (N=3, alcohol) for 5 months. RNA-seq analysis revealed induction of cancer-associated genes by these risk factors in the pancreatic cancer tissues.

First approach on the use of samples from fecal occult blood screening kits for metabolomic analysis. Application in colorectal cancer population.

Project description:Cancer is the most common disease around the world and colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer. The early diagnosis of colorectal cancer is difficult and relies on invasive diag-nostic tools such as colonoscopy and tissue biopsy. Other non-invasive techniques such as fecal occult blood screening test (FOBT) are less sensitive and accurate. The advantage of FOBT together with high throughput technology such as metabolomics could provide the advantages of non-invasive tool and the effectiveness of detecting novel colorectal cancer markers. In this way, this work focuses on the novelty of using FOBT as samples to perform metabolomics analysis and its application on colorectal cancer population.
