Project description:miRNAs were extracted from plasma samples of healthy volunteers, patients with Barrett’s esophagus and patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. We used the Serum / Plasma Focus miRNA PCR panel (Exiqon, Denmark) to quantitate miRNA presence in the different patient groups.

Project description:Background: The risk of developing Barrett’s esophagus (BE) and/or esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is associated with specific demographic and behavioral factors, including gender, obesity/elevated body-mass index (BMI), and tobacco use. Alterations in DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification that can affect gene expression and that can be influenced by environmental factors, is frequently present in both BE and EAC and is believed to play a role in the formation of BE and its progression to EAC. It is currently unknown whether obesity or tobacco smoking influence the risk of developing BE/EAC via the induction of alterations in DNA methylation. To investigate this possibility, we assessed the genome-wide methylation status of 81 esophageal tissues, including BE, dysplastic BE, and EAC epithelia using HumanMethylation450 BeadChips (Illumina). Results: We found numerous differentially methylated loci in the esophagus tissues when comparing males to females, obese to lean individuals, and smokers to nonsmokers. Differences in DNA methylation between these groups were seen in a variety of functional genomic regions, and both within and outside of CpG islands. Several cancer-related pathways were found to have differentially methylated genes between these comparison groups. Conclusions: Our findings suggest obesity and tobacco smoking may influence DNA methylation in the esophagus and raise the possibility that these risk factors affect the development of BE, dysplastic BE, and EAC through influencing the epigenetic status of specific loci that have a biologically plausible role in cancer formation.

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the precursor lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). To detect EAC in early stage, patients with BE undergo endoscopic surveillance. Surveillance cohorts largely consist of non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) patients with a low annual progression risk (<0.5%). Predictive biomarkers for malignant progression of NDBE could improve efficacy of surveillance. Biomarker research has mostly focused on aberrant protein expression on BE epithelial cells. Moreover, insight in cell signaling driving malignant transformation is unknown. This study uses a data-driven approach to analyze tumor-stroma interaction in NDBE which progressed to high grade dysplasia (HGD) or EAC.

Project description:Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy that frequently develops from Barrett’s esophagus (BE), a premalignant pathological change occurring in the lower end of esophagus. To identify BE patients at high risk of malignant transformation is essential to the prevention of EAC. Although microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures have been associated with the etiology and prognosis of several types of cancers, their roles in the development of EAC have not been extensively evaluated.

Project description:Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) has the fastest increase of any cancer in the US and Europe, and arises in the setting of Barrett’s esophagus (BE), defined by replacement of normal squamous epithelium with columnar intestinal-like epithelium. BE is thought to result from chronic esophageal inflammation but has been elusive to model in animals. Herein, we have generated the first transgenic mouse model of Barrett’s esophagus through overexpression of interleukin-1ß (IL-1β). IL-1β overexpression in the mouse esophageal mucosa induces chronic inflammation that progresses to intestinal metaplasia, with characteristic expression of TFF2, Bmp4 and Cdx2. With aging, IL-1b transgenic mice progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) but the process is markedly accelerated by exposure to bile acids and/or nitrosamines, resembling the human counterpart. Moreover, progenitor cells present in the gastric cardia, but absent from the esophagus in humans and mice, are increased in BE, suggesting the cell of origin in the gastric cardia

Project description:Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a common and aggressive type of cancer and Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is a known precursor lesion and the strongest risk factor for EAC. Prediction of risk is currently based on histologic examination which is challenged by problems such as inter-observer variability due to high heterogeneity of the dysplastic tissue. Molecular markers might offer an additional way to understand carcinogenesis and improve diagnosis and eventually treatment. .

To identify BE patients at high risk of malignant transformation is essential to the prevention of EAC. Although microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures have been associated with the etiology and prognosis of several types of cancers, their roles in the development of EAC have not been extensively evaluated. We analyzed the expression patterns of 470 human miRNAs using Agilent miRNA microarray in 32 disease/normal-paired tissues from 16 patients diagnosed with BE of either low or high grade dysplasia, or EAC

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus is a precancerous lesion that confers a significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Strategies for selective eradication of Barrett’s have been stymied by our inability to identify the Barrett’s stem cell. Here we employ novel technologies to clone patient-matched stem cells of Barrett’s, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Genomic analyses of Barrett’s stem cells reveal a patient-specific mutational spectrum ranging from low somatic variation similar to patient-matched gastric epithelial stem cells to ones marked by extensive heterozygous alteration of genes implicated in tumor suppression, epithelial planarity, and epigenetic regulation. Transplantation of transformed Barrett’s stem cells yields tumors with hallmarks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, whereas transformed esophageal stem cells yield squamous cell carcinomas. Thus Barrett’s develops from cells distinct from local eponymous epithelia, emerges without obvious driver mutations, and likely progresses through and from the generation of dominant clones. These findings define a stem cell target for preemptive therapies of a precancerous lesion.

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus in gastrointestinal reflux patients constitutes a columnar epithelium with distal characteristics, prone to progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma. HOX genes are known mediators of position-dependent morphology. Here we show HOX collinearity in the adult gut while Barrett’s esophagus shows high HOXA13 expression in stem cells and their progeny. HOXA13 overexpression appears sufficient to explain both the phenotype (through downregulation of the epidermal differentiation complex) and the oncogenic potential of Barrett’s esophagus. Intriguingly, employing a mouse model that contains a reporter coupled to the HOXA13 promotor we identify single HOXA13-positive cells distally from the physiological esophagus, which is mirrored in human physiology, but increased in BE. Additionally, we observe that HOXA13 expression confers a competitive advantage to cells. We thus propose that Barrett’s esophagus and associated esophageal adenocarcinoma is the consequence of expansion of this gastro-esophageal HOXA13-expressing compartment following epithelial injury.
