Genomic Analyses of early-stage diffuse-type gastric cancer lacking Helicobacter pylori infection
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We performed the expression RNA-seq experiments for mRNA of gastric cancer tissue. Most of gastric cancers (GCs) are accompanied by Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. However, a very limited fraction lacks any signs of HP infection and exhibits early-stage diffuse (ED) phenotype. Although previous genomic cohorts have identified multiple driver mutations for gastric cancers including diffuse-type histology, any driver event of GC without HP has not been elucidated. The present study aims to explore the molecular mechanism with comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic analyses by comparing EDGC with and without HP. EDGCs were classified as HP-negative based on the following criteria: 1) no antibiotic eradication history, 2) no atrophic appearance by endoscopy, 3) no atrophic appearance by histology, 4) negativity in two or more tests such as rapid urease, urease breath, serum antibody, stool antigen and serum pepsinogen tests. DNAs and RNAs were extracted from EDGCs with over 10 mm in diameter to secure sufficient amount of cancer tissues. Laser-capture microdissection was then used to reduce contamination of normal cells for further molecular assays. For transcriptome analyses, we conducted RNA-seq of 2 HP-positive and 4 HP-negative fresh frozen EDGCs obtained endoscopically
