Assessment of colorectal cancer risk factors through the application of network-based approaches in a biracial cohort of colon organoid stem cells

ABSTRACT: Numerous demographic factors have been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, with age, body mass index, smoking history, sex, and differences in ancestry, among the most consistent. However, biological mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear. Limitations of traditional cancer models, such as animal models and CRC cell lines, and the large data dispari-ty between European American and minority groups present challenges in relating mechanisms to the average-risk population. There is a need for studies to be performed in a racially diverse pop-ulations and in cells relevant to CRC initiation. Colon crypt stem cells are believed to be the pri-mary cells of origin for CRCs. In this study, we enriched for stem cell populations in organoids derived from the healthy colon of seven European Americans and eight African Americans. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed following RNA sequencing to identify modules of gene co-expression that were differentially associated with these five CRC risk factors. Candidate driver genes of CRC risk were identified through analysis of module structure and overlaid with data derived from publicly available CRC tumors and genome-wide association studies. We identified several genes that represent putative targets of CRC risk factors and warrant further investigation

Race-specific patterns of epigenetic aging and age-associated differential methylation in normal rectal biopsies: Implications for the biology of aging and its relationship to rectal cancer

Project description:Approximately 90% of colorectal cancer (CRC) develop over the age of 50, highlighting the im-portant role of aging in CRC risk. African Americans (AAs) shoulder a greater CRC burden than European Americans (EA), and are more likely to develop CRC at a younger age. The effects of aging in AA and EA normal rectal tissue have yet to be defined. Here, we performed epige-nome-wide DNA methylation analysis in the first, large-scale biracial cohort of normal rectum (n=140 samples)

Genomic and cellular responses to aspirin treatment in colonic organoids from African- and European-Americans

Project description:Aspirin (ASA) is a proven chemoprotective agent for sporadic and hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC), though mechanisms underlying these effects are incompletely understood. Human-derived epithelial organoids are an ideal system to study host-environment interactions in the colon across individuals. Here, colonic organoids from a diverse cohort of African-Americans (AA) and European-Americans (EA) were used to profile genomic and cellular ASAresponses.

DNA methylation in newborn cordblood

Project description:There is extensive variation in DNA methylation between individuals and ethnic groups. These differences can arise from a combination of genetic and non-genetic influences and potential modifiers include nutritional cues, early life experience, and social and physical environments. Here we have assayed genome-wide DNA methylation in neonatal cord blood from African American, European American, and other ancestral groups. This is part of the CANDLE Study (Conditions Affecting Neurocognitive Development and Learning in Early Childhood). Our overarching goal is to determine the different environmental and maternal factors that can modify DNA methylation in newborns. This is a cross-sectional study of a total of 216 racially diverse participants of CANDLE. Cordblood was collected at birth. DNA methylation was measured using the Illumina HumanMethylation27 BeadChip. Based on maternal self-report, the samples are 112 African Americans, 91 European Americans and 13 other racial or mixed race group.

Differential Gene Expression between African American and European American Colorectal Cancer Patients

Project description:The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) is higher in African Americans (AAs) than in other ethnic groups in the U. S., but reasons for the disparities are unknown. We performed gene expression profiling and microsatellite instability (MSI) analysis of sporadic CRCs from AAs vs. European Americans (EAs) to assess the contribution to CRC disparities. We evaluated gene expression of 43 AA and 43 EA CRC tumors matched by stage and 40 normal colon tissues using the Agilent human whole genome 4x44K cDNA arrays. Gene and pathway analysis were performed using Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM), 10-fold Cross Validation (10-fCV) and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). MSI analysis was assessed with five NIH Bethesda markers. SAM revealed that 95 genes were differentially expressed between AA and EA patients at a false discovery rate of <5%. A 10f-CV demonstrated that 9 genes were differentially expressed between AA and EA with an accuracy of 97%. Nine genes (CRYBB2, PSPH, ADAL, VSIG10L, C17orf81, ARSE, ANKRD36B, ZNF835, ARHGAP6) were validated and differential expression confirmed by qRT-PCR in independent test set of 21 patients (10 AA, 11 EA). We also analyzed MSI in 57 of the CRC subjects. Overall, 15.8% of CRC patients had MSI, with a higher rate observed in EA (20%) than in AA (12%). MSI distribution by tumor site was 77% right and 23% left colon. Previously, genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the etiology of CRC. Our results are the first to implicate differential gene expression in CRC disparities and support the existence of distinct tumor microenvironments in these two patients' populations. 126 total samples: 1) 43 white cancer samples; 2) 43 black cancer samples; 3) 27 white control samples; 4) 13 black control samples.

MicroRNA expression profiling of the prostate biopsy samples from African American and European American prostate cancer patients

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) tends to be more aggressive and lethal in African Americans (AA) compared to European Americans (EA). To further understand the thebiological risk factors associated with PCa disparities observed in AA and EA patients, we performed microRNA profiling using Agilent Human miRNA arrays to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs beween: 1) AA and EA PCa patients; 2) AA PCa vs. AA normal; and 3) EA PCa vs. EA normal. 54 prostate biopsy specimens (tumor and adjacent normal tissues) were collected from 14 African American and 13 European American prostate cancer patients. 54 RNA samples, purified from the collected biopy specimens using Qiagen miRNeasy kit, were process and applied to Agilent human miRNA arrays. Array data was normalized and analyzed using Agilent GeneSpring program.

Multi-ancestry genetic analysis of gene regulation in coronary artery prioritizes disease risk loci

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-European populations are underrepresented in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, non-European populations are underrepresented in GWAS and the causal gene-regulatory mechanisms of these risk loci during atherosclerosis remain unclear. We incorporated local ancestry and haplotype information to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for gene expression and splicing in coronary arteries obtained from 138 ancestrally diverse Americans.
