Sleeping Beauty transposon mutagenesis identified genes involved in colorectal cancer development in the inflammatory microenvironment.

ABSTRACT: To identify genes and molecular pathways involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) that developed in an inflammatory microenvironment, we performed Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon mutagenesis screening in Dextran Sodium Sulfate treated-mice. We have shown that cell cycle-related genes and TGFb pathway-related genes are frequently mutated in inflammation-related tumors. We have demonstrated that TNFa can promote dedifferentiation of colonic epithelial cells via epigenomic reprogramming, and activate both Cdkn2a-p53 signaling and CycD-Cdk4/6, creating advantageous conditions for selecting cells carrying mutations in the Cdkn2a-p53 pathway genes. We have also showed that Cdk4/6 inhibitors are effective against colorectal tumors in an inflammatory microenvironment using the SB mouse model, presenting a potential new therapeutic strategy. Thus, SB screening is not only powerful in identifying genes involved in cancers that develop in specific microenvironments, but also helpful in validating the efficacy of drugs.
