Identification of genes associated with the onset of colorectal cancer by transcriptomic analyses of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC), the stepwise progression from adenoma to carcinoma is marked by a series of specific genetic alterations of known oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. However, many patient-matched features of the transcriptome involved in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence remain unidentified. The aim of this study was to identify genes associated with the process of CRC formation by analyzing the characteristics of the transcriptome during tumor formation. Six dynamic expression patterns specific to tumor formation were characterized for the first time. Dysregulation of metabolic pathways, suppression of the immune system, and activation of canonical pathways related to cancer were associated with the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Among a cluster of genes positively correlated with tumor formation, TPD52L1 was identified as a gene that induced oncologic behaviors and a biomarker for poor prognosis.
