Project description:microRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non-coding RNA molecules that act as regulators of gene expression. Circulating blood miRNAs offer great potential as cancer biomarkers. The objective of the study was to correlate the differential expression of miRNAs in tissue and blood in the identification of biomarkers for early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). miRNA biomarker discovery via miRNA array profiling using paired cancer tissues (n = 30) and blood samples (CRC, n = 42; control, n = 18).

Project description:Background and Aims: RNA biomarkers derived from sloughed enterocytes would provide an ideal, non-invasive method for early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) and precancerous adenomas. To realize this goal, a highly reliable method to isolate preserved human RNA from stool samples is needed. Here we develop a protocol to identify RNA biomarkers associated with CRC to assess the use of these biomarkers for noninvasive screening of disease. Methods: Stool samples were collected from 454 patients prior to a colonoscopy. A nucleic acid extraction protocol was developed to isolate human RNA from 330 stool samples and transcript abundances were estimated by microarray analysis. This 330-patient cohort was split into a training set of 265 individuals to develop a machine learning model and a testing set of 65 individuals to determine the model’s ability to detect colorectal neoplasms. Results: Analysis of the transcriptome from 265 individuals identified 200 transcript clusters as differentially expressed (p<0.03). These transcripts were used to build a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based model to classify 65 individuals within the testing set. This SVM algorithm attained a 95% sensitivity for precancerous adenomas and a 65% sensitivity for CRC (stage I-IV). The machine learning algorithm attained a specificity of 59% for healthy individuals and an overall accuracy of 72.3%. Conclusions: We developed an RNA-based neoplasm detection model that is sensitive for CRC and precancerous adenomas. The model allows for non-invasive assessment of tumors and could potentially be used to provide clinical guidance for individuals within the screening population for colorectal cancer.

Project description:Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy and the fourth most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. In 2008, more than one million cases were newly diagnosed, and more than 600,000 people died from the disease. Given its slow development from removable precancerous lesions and curable early stages, screening for CRC has the potential to reduce both the incidence and mortality of the disease. However, compliance with current screening methods remains poor and there is a clear need for an accurate in vitro blood test to increase participation in colorectal cancer screening. In this study, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling of peripheral blood samples from 100 healthy controls and 100 colorectal cancer patients using PAXgeneTM technology and Affymetrix GeneChip® microarrays. We show that monitoring gene expression in blood results in distinct transcriptional profiles between the controls and cancer patients. Thus, the microarray-based blood gene expression profiling holds great promise for developing novel biomarkers for colorectal cancer detection.

Project description:Diabetic mellitus (DM) is a disease that affects glucose homeostasis and has cause of complications, such as diabetic nephropathy (DN). For diagnose of the early DN, microalbuminuria is one of the mostly used biomarker currently. However, more early diagnostic biomarkers are desired rather than microalbuminuria.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, and is the one of the few cancers in which a continued increase in incidence has been observed over several years. HCC associated with chronic liver disease evolves from precancerous lesion and early HCC to overt cancer, and identifying key molecules contributing to early stage HCC is an urgent need. α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is the best serum biomarker for diagnosis of HCC, but sensitivity is low, particularly in detection of early-stage HCC. Therefore, novel and reliable diagnostic biomarkers to complement AFP are needed to improve HCC diagnosis. We aim to determine transcriptome-based molecular signature of multistep hepatocarcinogenesis, and to identify novel serum biomarkers to diagnose early stage HCC patient.

Project description:Approximately two decades ago, Vogelstein and Fearon proposed the adenoma-carcinoma sequence of sporadic CRC development and illustrated the accumulation of genetic alterations during the stepwise progression, thereby providing a guideline for clinical practice. Although the detection and excision of precancerous lesions could prevent colorectal cancer and reduce mortality, 6% of adenomas will ultimately develop into colorectal cancer. Thus, this genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis may not completely reflect the complex essence of the disease and whether the mode of initiation of the events in the multistep progression affects the outcome of CRC is still unknown. In this study, mRNA and miRNA expression profiling was performed with human colorectal tissues, including normal mucosa, adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Then, an integrated approach was adopted to establish the regulatory interaction networks that were correlated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Finally, a 55-gene signature whose expression was down-regulated in precancerous lesions compared to normal tissue was identified as a potential early indicator of CRC survival. The results suggested that genes related to immunity and homeostasis played a critical role in protection against adenoma initiation and that the altered molecular events that influence colorectal cancer prognosis may be set in an early, precancerous stage. Four types of human colorectal tissues were selected by colonoscopic resection or colorectal surgery, including 12 normal mucosae, 21 low-grade adenomas (mild or moderate atypical hyperplasia), 30 high-grade adenomas (severe atypical hyperplasia or carcinoma in situ) and 25 adenocarcinomas. Gene expression profiling analysis of these samples was performed using Agilent 4x44K human whole genome gene expression microarray (G4112F).

Project description:Abnormal DNA methylation is a hallmark of human cancers and may be a promising biomarker for early diagnosis of human cancers1. However, the majority of DNA methylation biomarkers that have been identified are based on the hypothesis that early differential methylation regions (DMRs) are maintained throughout carcinogenesis and could be detected at all stages of cancer. In this study, we identified potential early biomarkers of colorectal cancer (CRC) development by genome-wide DNA methylation assay (Illumina infinium450, 450K) to normal (N=20) and pre-colorectal cancer samples including 18 low-grade adenoma (LGA) and 22 high-grade adenoma (HGA).

Abstract:
Background: Early cancer diagnosis is one of the most important challenges of cancer research, since in many can- cers it can lead to cure for patients with early stage diseases. For epithelial ovarian cancer (which is the leading cause of death among gynaecologic malignancies) the classical detection approach is based on measurements of CA-125 biomarker. However, the poor sensitivity and specificity of this biomarker impacts the detection of early-stage cancers.
Methods: Here we use a computational approach to investigate the effect of combining multiple biomarkers for ovarian cancer (e.g., CA-125 and IL-7), to improve early cancer detection.
Results: We show that this combined biomarkers approach could lead indeed to earlier cancer detection. However, the immune response (which influences the level of secreted IL-7 biomarker) plays an important role in improving and/or delaying cancer detection. Moreover, the detection level of IL-7 immune biomarker could be in a range that would not allow to distinguish between a healthy state and a cancerous state. In this case, the construction of solu- tion diagrams in the space generated by the IL-7 and CA-125 biomarkers could allow us predict the long-term evolu- tion of cancer biomarkers, thus allowing us to make predictions on cancer detection times.
Conclusions: Combining cancer and immune biomarkers could improve cancer detection times, and any predic- tions that could be made (at least through the use of CA-125/IL-7 biomarkers) are patient specific.
