Project description:Characterizing the evolutionary trajectory and immune profiling of brain metastasis (BM) may provide insights in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing and multiplex immunofluorescence (MIF) of 40 samples from 12 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients with BM and compared to their paired primary tumors. We observed significantly higher intertumor heterogeneity between paired primary tumors and BMs, with only a median of 8.3% of genetic mutations identified as shared. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that BM-competent clones genetically diverged from their primary tumors at relatively early stage, suggesting that the parallel progression model is dominant. In cases with synchronous lymph node metastasis (LNM), phylogenetic analysis suggested that BM is a later event than LNM. MIF analysis found that BMs exhibited significantly lower CD8+ T cell infiltration (P = 0.048), and elevated CD4+Foxp3+ T cell infiltration (P = 0.036) and PD-1 expression (P = 0.047) in comparison to the matched primary tumors, indicating an immunosuppressive microenvironment in BMs. The current study revealed the discrepancy of mutational landscape as well as tumor immune microenvironment between BM and its primary tumor - such findings shall help us better understand the unique biological features of BM and develop innovative strategies accordingly for our patients with LUAD.

Project description:In the literature less than 100 cases of metastatic carcinoma of the palatine tonsil have been reported. Tonsillar metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus has not been reported previously. We report a case of a 57-year-old male with a primary adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus with a metastasis in the right palatine tonsil. Metastatic tumour involving the palatine tonsil is rare. The route of dissemination remains unclear. Hypothetically the dissemination of tumour cells could be lymphogenic or secondary by transportation due to vomiting or at the time of endoscopy, but most likely represents haematogenous spread.

Project description:Gastric adenocarcinoma, commonly known as stomach cancer, has a predilection for metastasis to the peritoneum, which portends limited survival. The peritoneal metastatic cascade remains poorly understood, and existing models fail to recapitulate key elements of the interaction between cancer cells and the peritoneal layer. To explore the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis, we developed an ex vivo human peritoneal explant model. Fresh peritoneal tissue samples were suspended, mesothelial layer down but without direct contact, above a monolayer of red-fluorescent dye stained AGS human gastric adenocarcinoma cells for 24 h, then washed thoroughly. Implantation of AGS cells within the explanted peritoneum and invasion beyond the mesothelial layer were examined serially using real-time confocal fluorescence microscopy. Histoarchitecture of the explanted peritoneum was preserved over 5 days ex vivo. Both implantation and invasion were suppressed by restoration of functional E-cadherin through stable transfection of AGS cells, demonstrating sensitivity of the model to molecular manipulation. Thus, our ex vivo human peritoneal explant model permits meaningful investigation of the pathways and mechanism that contribute to peritoneal metastasis. The model will facilitate screening of new therapies that target peritoneal dissemination of gastric, ovarian and colorectal cancer.

Project description:The thyroid is a rare site for metastasis, occurring in 0.1% of colorectal cases. A 46-year-old man with rectal adenocarcinoma developed an enlarging anterior neck mass and increasing carcinoembryonic antigen 2?years after curative intent treatment. Imaging showed aggressive features with invasion of the larynx, trachea and oesophagus, suspicious for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. The patient underwent tumour debulking with neck dissection and tracheostomy. Final histopathological review revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma from a colorectal primary. Despite chemotherapy, the patient eventually succumbed to disease progression and complications of his illness. This case demonstrates that recognising rare sites of metastasis may help clinicians effectively institute earlier intervention.

Project description:PurposeTo report an unusual case of lung metastasis presenting as an eyelid lesion.ObservationsAn 82-year-old man presented with a right upper lid lesion of 2 weeks' duration proven to be adenocarcinoma of the lung.Conclusions and importanceMetastasis to the eyelid is a rare occurrence. We present a review of the literature emphasizing factors contributing to its low incidence.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early calf-hood nutrition on the transcriptomic profile of subcutaneous adipose in Holstein-Friesian bulls and possible downstream effects on reproduction. Holstein Friesian bull calves with a mean (±S.D.) age and bodyweight of 19 (±8.2) days and 47.5 (±5.3) kg, respectively, were assigned to either a high (n=10) or low (n=10) plane of nutrition. Calves were fed in order to achieve an overall growth rate of 1.08 and 0.5 kg/day for the high and low plane of nutrition treatments, respectively. At 126 days of age, the bulls were euthanized using an intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were harvested and RNAseq analysis was performed. At the end of the trial period, there were 745 genes differentially expressed in adipose tissue of bulls on the high plane of nutrition relative to those on the low plane of nutrition (P<0.05; FDR<0.05; fold change >2.0). Plane of nutrition altered the expression of genes involved in energy production and branched chain amino acid degradation. Plane of nutrition was also found to down regulate genes such as leptin and adiponectin which are known to effect reproductive function. This study identifies some of the molecular mechanisms regulated by feeding bulls a high plane of nutrition, which may be incorporated into future breeding programmes for artificial insemination centres.

Project description:This is a sub-study nested within a previously initiated clinical study (# NCT01946282) focusing on individuals not previously randomized at baseline to the original interventions. The purpose of the sub-study is to evaluate, via a randomized controlled trial design, 3 strategies for promoting screening completion among individuals not up to date with colorectal cancer screening, but assigned to receive screening outreach.

Project description:Genomic amplification of the distal portion of chromosome 3q that encodes a number of oncogenic proteins is one of the most prevalent chromosomal deformities. Here we functionally characterise a non-protein product of this region, the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PLANE, which is upregulated in diverse cancer types through copy number gain as well as transcriptional activation by E2F1. PLANE forms an RNA-RNA duplex with the nuclear receptor co-repressor 2 (NCOR2) pre-mRNA at intron 45, binds to heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein M (hnRNPM) and facilitates the association of hnRNPM with the intron, leading to repression of the alternative splicing (AS) event generating NCOR2-202, a major protein-coding NCOR2 AS variant. As such, PLANE promotes cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenicity and its upregulation is associated with poor outcome of patients. These results uncover the function and regulation of PLANE and suggest that PLANE may constitute a therapeutic target in the pan-cancer context.
