CB-17-08 Augmented Endoscopy System for Mucosal Lesion Detection During Colonoscopy for Colon Rectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to assess the performance of the CB-17-08 to help endoscopists find potential mucosal polyps during the colonoscopy procedure, without significant noise disturbing the endoscopist attention, nor negative interference with the lesions detection than with the standard colonoscopy alone: the study will investigate whether the use of the device provides an increase in the number of adenomas per colonoscopy as compared to standard colonoscopy. The study will also evaluate the safety of the CB-17-08, assessing if the use of the system increases the total number of excisions without a commensurate number of adenomas as compared to standard colonoscopy.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIM: Sessile serrated adenoma/polyps (SSA/Ps) are the likely culprit of ~20% colon cancers but they are molecularly poorly understood. We investigated their epigenetic phenotype using high-throughput analysis of DNA methylation and gene expression. METHODS: 17 SSA/Ps and, as a comparative group, 15 conventional adenomas (all with matched samples of normal mucosa) were prospectively collected during colonoscopy. DNA from the 64 tissues was analyzed, via bisulfite next generation sequencing, for methylation at ~2.7 million CpG sites located prevalently in gene regulatory regions spanning 80.5Mb (~2.5% of the genome). The transcriptome of these samples was also investigated using RNA sequencing. An independent series of 61 archival lesions was used for targeted verification of DNA methylation. RESULTS: Both SSA/Ps and conventional adenomas showed a profound remodelling of their methylome. Cytosine hypermethylation was more pervasive in SSA/Ps than adenomas, in terms of number of hypermethylated regions (22,147 vs 15,965, respectively) and genes (4938 vs 3443, respectively). In addition, the extent of hypermethylation in a given region was higher in SSA/Ps than adenomas. This methylation pattern of SSA/Ps was reminiscent of the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) of their descendant cancers. We have called this phenotype proto-CIMP since most of the hypermethylation occurred in CpG islands and shores. SSA/Ps were also protected from a wave of demethylation that instead occurred in adenomas outside of CpG islands/shores (4288 vs 18,417 hypomethylated regions in SSAPs vs adenomas). Verification studies of six hypermethylated regions demonstrated the high potential of DNA methylation markers for predicting the diagnosis of SSA/Ps and/or adenomas. Proto-CIMP of SSA/Ps was surprisingly associated with a higher number of up- (618) than downregulated (349) genes, while adenomas showed the opposite trend (516 up- vs 712 downregulated genes). CONCLUSIONS: The epigenetic landscape of SSA/Ps differs substantially from that of conventional adenomas. This huge amount of epigenetic variation represents a rich source of promising diagnostic tools, such as novel DNA markers or histologic stainings, for the tailored management of the two most frequent colon cancer precursors.
