Cancer stem cells associated miRNAs serve as prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer

ABSTRACT: Chemoresistance in cancer is linked to a subset of cancer cells termed “cancer stem cells” (CSCs), and in particular, those expressing the CD44 variant appear to represent a more aggressive disease phenotype. Herein, we demonstrate that CD44v6 represents a CSC population with increased resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, and its high expression is frequently associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR:3.04; CI:1.35–6.85; p<0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR:5.30, CI:1.64–17.12, p<0.01) in CRC patients. CD44v6+ cells showed elevated resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs and significantly high tumor initiation capacity. The inhibition of CD44v6 resulted in the attenuation of self-renewal capacity and re-sensitization to chemotherapeutic agents. Of note, miRNA profiling of CD44v6+ SDCSCs identified a unique panel of miRNAs indicative of high self-renewal capacity. In particular, miR-1246 was overexpressed in CD44v6+ cells, and associated with poor OS (HR:2.44, CI:1.15–5.18, p<0.05) and DFS (HR:2.37, CI:1.03–5.44, p<0.05) in CRC patients. We demonstrate that CD44v6+ CSCs induced chemoresistance and enhance tumorigenicity in CRC cells, which is in part orchestrated by dysregulated profiles of a distinct panel of miRNAs. These findings provide a rationale for the therapeutic targeting of specific miRNAs, as well as serving as promising prognostic biomarkers in patients with colorectal neoplasia.

Prognostic Significance of Immune Cell Infiltration in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Treated with Definitive Chemoradiation: A Secondary Analysis of RTOG 0524 and 0712

Project description:Chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is a treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Using a novel transcriptomic profiling panel, we validated prognostic immune biomarkers for response to CRT on 70 pre-treatment tumor samples from NRG/RTOG 0524 and 0712, two prospective trials of MIBC. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and stratified by genes correlated with immune cell proportions and activation. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess group differences. Sample clustering based on gene expression profiles driven by immune cell proportions demonstrated cluster 2 with a high percentage of immune cell content with significantly longer DFS (Hazard Ratio (HR): 0.53 (95% CI: 0.26 – 1.10), p=0.071) and OS (HR: 0.48 (95% CI: 0.24 – 0.97), p=0.040) than cluster 1 with a low percentage of immune cell content. Higher expression of T cell infiltration genes (CD8A and ICOS ) showed longer DFS (HR: 0.40 (95% CI: 0.21 – 0.75), p=0.005) and OS (HR: 0.49 (95% CI: 0.25 – 0.94), p=0.033). Higher expression of interferon gamma signaling (IDO1) also showed longer DFS (HR: 0.44 (95% CI: 0.24 – 0.88), p=0.021) and OS (HR: 0.49 (95% CI: 0.24 – 0.99), p=0.048). These findings have treatment implications that should be validated in CRT MIBC trials particularly those that integrate immunotherapy.

Seven-lncRNA signature in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:A seven-lncRNA signature was identified in the training set, which is significantly associated with overall survival (OS) (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 3.535, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.113-5.915, P < 0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 2.413, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.573-3.703, P < 0.001). Patients in high-risk group have shorter overall survival (HR: 3.555, 95% CI: 2.195-5.757, p < 0.001) and disease-free survival (HR: 2.537, 95% CI: 1.646-3.909, p < 0.001) in the training set, and we found the same conclusion in the independent set for OS (HR 2.665, p < 0.001) and DFS (HR 2.360, p = 0.001). Combination of the signature and TNM staging system was more powerful than TNM staging system alone in predicting outcomes in both the training set (AUC: 0.772 vs 0.681, p = 0.002) and in the independent set (AUC: 0.772 vs 0.660, p = 0.003).

Nuclear DICKKOPF-1 as a biomarker of chemoresistance and poor clinical outcome in colorectal cancer

Project description:Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) insurgence and progression depend on the activation of Wnt/?-catenin signaling. Dickkopf (DKK)-1 is an extracellular inhibitor of Wnt/?-catenin signaling that also has undefined ?-catenin-independent actions. Here we report for the first time that a proportion of DKK-1 locates within the nucleus of healthy small intestine and colon mucosa, and of CRC cells at specific chromatin sites of active transcription. Moreover, we show that DKK-1 regulates several cancer-related genes including the cancer stem cell marker aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) and Ral-binding protein 1-associated Eps domain-containing 2 (REPS2), which are involved in detoxification of chemotherapeutic agents. Nuclear DKK-1 expression is lost along CRC progression; however, it remains high in a subset (15%) of CRC patients (n = 699) and associates with decreased progression-free survival (PFS) after chemotherapy administration and overall survival (OS) [adjusted HR, 1.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.23-2.21; P = 0.002)]. Overexpression of ALDH1A1 and REPS2 associates with nuclear DKK-1 expression in tumors and correlates with decreased OS (P = 0.001 and 0.014) and PFS. In summary, our findings demonstrate a novel location of DKK-1 within the cell nucleus and support a role of nuclear DKK-1 as a predictive biomarker of chemoresistance in colorectal cancer.

Validation of the DNA Damage Immune Response (DDIR) Signature in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Patients from the SWOG 9313c Trial

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study was to independently validate two biomarkers, a 44-gene DNA Damage Immune Response (DDIR) signature and stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs), as prognostic markers in TNBC patients treated with adjuvant doxorubicin (A) and cyclophosphamide (C) in SWOG 9313. Materials & Methods: 425 centrally determined TNBC cases from S9313 were identified. DDIR signature was performed on RNA isolated from FFPE tumor tissue (n=381), and samples were classified as DDIR-negative or positive using predefined cutoffs. Evaluation of sTILs was performed as previously described. Markers were tested for prognostic value for disease-free and overall survival (DFS, OS) using Cox regression models adjusted for treatment assignment nodal status and tumor size. Results: Among 425 TNBC patients, median age was 45 years, and 33% were node-positive. DDIR was successfully tested in 90% (381/425) of cases, of which 62% were DDIR signature-positive. DDIR signature positivity was associated with improved DFS (HR=0.67; 95% CI 0.48–0.92, P=0.014) and OS (HR=0.61; 95% CI 0.43–0.89, P=0.009). sTILs density assessment was available in 99% of patients and was associated with improved DFS (HR=0.70; 95% CI 0.51–0.96, P=0.028 for sTILs density ≥20% vs. <20%) and OS (HR=0.59; 95% CI 0.41–0.85, P=0.004 for sTILs density ≥20% vs. <20%). The DDIR signature score and sTILs density were moderately correlated (r=0.62) which precluded statistical significance for DFS in a joint model (P=0.08 for DDIR and P=0.25 for sTILs). Conclusion: The prognostic role of sTILs and DDIR in early-stage TNBC was confirmed. DDIR signature conferred improved prognosis in two-thirds of TNBC patients treated with adjuvant AC. DDIR signature has potential to stratify outcome and identify patients with less projected benefit following AC chemotherapy.

Early adaptation of colorectal cancer cells to the peritoneal cavity depends on activation of ‘stemness’ programs and local inflammation.

Project description:Purpose: At diagnosis, colorectal cancer presents with synchronous peritoneal metastasis in up to 10% of patients. The peritoneum is poorly characterized with respect to its super-specialised microenvironment. Our aim was to describe the differences between peritoneal metastases and their matched primary tumours excised simultaneously at the time of surgery. Also, we tested the hypothesis of these differences being present in primary colorectal tumours and having prognostic capacity. Experimental design: We report a comprehensive analysis of thirty samples from peritoneal metastasis with their matched colorectal cancer primaries obtained during cytoreductive surgery. We tested and validated the prognostic value of our findings in a pooled series of 660 colorectal cancer primary samples with overall survival (OS) information and 743 samples with disease free survival (DFS) information from publicly available databases. Results: We identified 20 genes dysregulated in peritoneal metastasis that promote an early increasing role of ‘stemness’ in conjunction with tumour favorable inflammatory changes. When adjusted for age, gender and stage, the 20-gene peritoneal signature proved to have prognostic value for both OS (adjusted-hazard ratio (HR) for the high-risk group (vs low-risk) 2.32 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.69-3.19; p-value < 0.0001)) and for DFS (adjusted-HR 2.08 (95%CI 1.50-2.91; p-value < 0.0001)). Conclusions: Our findings indicated that the activation of “stemness” pathways and adaptation to the peritoneal specific environment are key to early stages of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The in-silico analysis suggested that this 20-gene peritoneal signature may hold prognostic information with potential for development of new precision medicine strategies in this setting.

Clinical impact of a novel microRNA chemo-sensitivity predictor in gastroesophageal cancer

Project description:Background: miRNAs might be potentially useful biomarkers for prediction of response to chemotherapeutic agents, radiotherapy and survival. The aim of this retrospective study was to validate miRNA response predictors in a cohort of patients with gastroesophageal cancer in order to predict overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Material and methods: The study population encompassed 53 patients treated with curative intended for loco-regional gastroesophageal cancer. miRNA expression was quantified from pre-therapeutic and diagnostic, formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tumor specimens using Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 1.0 Array. Based on growth inhibition of the NCI60 panel in the presence of cisplatin, epirubicine and capecitabine, a miRNA based response predictor was developed. The Cox proportional hazards model was applied to assess the correlations of the response predictor with OS and DSS. Results: A univariate analysis demonstrated a statistical significant improvement of OS for patients who had undergone surgical resection with prediction scores above the median prediction score (HR: 0.41 (95% CI: 0.17-0.96). Adjusting for surgery and stage, this predictor was identified to be independently associated with both OS (HR: 0.37 (95% CI: 0.16-0.87)) and DSS (HR: 0.32 (0.12-0.87)). Conclusion: The miRNA profile predictive for sensitivity to cisplatin, epirubicine and capecitabine was shown to be independently associated with OS and DSS in patients with gastroesophageal cancer. Tumor biopsies from 53 patients with gastroesophageal cancer *** Submitter has provided limited clinical information. Thus, this submission is incomplete. ***

Tumor immunogenomic features determine outcomes in metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with standard-of-care combinations of bevacizumab and cetuximab

Project description:CALGB/SWOG 80405 was a randomized phase III trial in first-line mCRC patients treated with bevacizumab, cetuximab, or both, plus chemotherapy. We tested the effect of tumor immune features on OS. Primary tumors (N=554) were profiled by RNAseq. Immune signatures of macrophages, lymphocytes, TGF-β, INF-γ, wound healing, and cytotoxicity were measured. CIBERSORTx scores of naive and memory B cells, plasma cells, CD8+ T cells, resting and activated memory CD4+ T cells, M0 and M2 macrophages, and activated mast cells were measured. Increased M2 macrophage score (HR 6.30, 95% CI 3.0-12.15) and TGF-β signature expression (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05-1.77) were associated with shorter OS. Increased scores of plasma cells (HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.38-0.87) and activated memory CD4+ T cells (HR 0.34, 95% CI 0.16-0.65) were associated with longer OS. Using optimal cutoffs from these four features, patients were categorized as having either 4, 3, 2, or 0-1 beneficial features associated with longer OS, and the median (95% CI) OS decreased from 42.5 (35.8-47.8), to 31.0 (28.8-34.4), 25.2 (20.6-27.9), and 17.7 (13.5-20.4) months respectively (p-value 3.48e-11). New immune features can be further evaluated to improve patient response. They provide the rationale for more effective immunotherapy strategies.

Quantitative proteomics reveals that distant recurrence-associated protein R-Ras and Transgelin predict post-surgical survival of colorectal cancer Stage III patients

Project description:Surgical resection is the major clinical intervention for Stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) currently. However, as much as 30.8% of the patients who had ever taken curative resection came out of recurrence eventually. Therefore, to facilitate formulating effective treatment plans, there is an intense demand for Stage III CRC post-surgical prognostic biomarkers. In this study, we identified total 146 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) associated with poor prognosis in Stage III CRC patients with TMT-based quantitative mass spectrometry (MS). In these DEPs, the protein expression level of R-Ras and Transgelin were tested with immunohistochemistry (IHC) of 192 individual specimens. Further Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the level of R-Ras and Transgelin is associated with patients’ 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) significantly, and multivariate Cox-regression analyses revealed that R-Ras and Transgelin are independent prognostic factors for OS and DFS respectively. In conclusion, our study presents that R-Ras and Transgelin are potential post-surgical prognostic biomarkers of Stage III CRC.
