Duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas vs matched normal mucosa
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background: Duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas are rare, and the global gene expression changes associated with the initial stages of carcinogenesis of these neoplasms have not been elucidated. Results: To comprehensively analyze genetic markers and pathways specific to early-stage duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas, transcriptional profiles of 4 fresh-frozen non-ampullary duodenal adenoma/adenocarcinomas and surrounding duodenal normal mucosa were compared. Key features of gene expression analysis demonstrated a strong correlation between these tumors and colorectal adenomas, as well as the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These results shed new light on the transcriptional changes that occur during the early stages of duodenal tumorigenesis. All samples were obtained prior to treatment in order to minimize effects of cauterization, and immediately fresh-frozen.
