Project description:Inflammation is highly associated with colon carcinogenesis. Epigenetic mechanisms play an important role in the initiation and progression of colon cancer. Curcumin is a dietary cancer preventive phytochemical with promising effect in suppressing colitis-associated colon cancer (CAC) in azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model. In the present study, we confirmed the effect of curcumin in suppressing colon cancer. Using Agilent SureSelect Methyl-seq and RNA-seq, we obtained single-base methylation profile and transcriptome analyses of epithelial cells from control group, AOM and DSS induced group (AOM+DSS), and AOM and DSS induced plus curcumin treated group (AOM+DSS+Curcumin) in a 18 weeks long-term colon cancer mouse model. The average DNA methylation levels of the three groups are significantly different also. Based on differential methylation patterns of three groups, several pathways of genes were identified including IL-8 signaling, LPS-stimulated MAPK signaling and colorectal cancer metastasis signaling. Among these methylated pathways and genes, Tnf, an inflammatory gene stood out with decreased DNA CpG methylation in the AOM-DSS as compared to the control group and interestingly curcumin reversed the CpG methylation (validated by pyrosequencing). The functional role of DNA methylation of Tnf was confirmed by in vitro luciferase transcriptional activity assay. In addition, we found that a group of genes associated with the inflammatory responses and their methylation level was decreased in AOM+DSS group but restored in the curcumin treated group. Taken together, in this study, aberrant DNA CpG methylation of the inflammatory response was found in colitis-associated colon cancer and curcumin restored their CpG methlyation, which could potentially explain the inflammatory and cancer protective effects of curcumin. (Note this GEO/dataset is the DNA methyl-seq part of the study.)

We observed differentially expressed genes in pair-wise comparison and identified several pathways of small set of genes involved in the potential preventive effect of curcumin. These pathways include LPS/IL-1 mediated inhibition of RXR function, NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response, aldosterone signaling in epithelial cells, production of NO and ROS in macrophages, and IL-6 signaling. The average DNA methylation levels of the three groups are significantly different also. Based on differential methylation patterns of three groups, several pathways of genes were identified including IL-8 signaling, LPS-stimulated MAPK signaling and colorectal cancer metastasis signaling. Among these methylated pathways and genes, Tnf, an inflammatory gene stood out with decreased DNA CpG methylation in the AOM-DSS as compared to the control group and interestingly curcumin reversed the CpG methylation (validated by pyrosequencing). These observations correlated with decreased, and increased with curcumin, Tnf expression in RNA-seq (validated by qPCR), respectively. The functional role of DNA methylation of Tnf was confirmed by in vitro luciferase transcriptional activity assay. In addition, we found that a group of genes associated with the inflammatory responses and their methylation level was decreased in AOM+DSS group but restored in the curcumin treated group. Taken together, in this study, aberrant DNA CpG methylation of the inflammatory response was found in colitis-associated colon cancer and curcumin restored their CpG methlyation, which could potentially explain the inflammatory and cancer protective effects of curcumin.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are using transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to evaluate the effects of anti-S100a9 antibody on the global transcriptome of the colon tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse model (a model that mimics the human colitis-associated colon cancer development). Methods: 36 five-week-old male ICR mice were randomized divided into three groups: control (i.e. no AOM/DSS and antibody treatment), AOM/DSS+IgG Ab (1.5 mg/kg), and AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab (1.5 mg/kg). Mice were intraperitoneal injected with a single dose of 10 mg/kg azoxymethane (AOM) (A5486; Sigma) on day 1. One week after the AOM injection, mice were given three cycles of DSS (cycle 1: 2%, 7 days; cycle 2: 1.5%, 5 days; and cycle 3: 1.5%, 5 days, DSS: 36–50 kDa; MP Biomedicals, CA, USA) in their drinking water, and then distilled water until the end of the experiment. Antibodies were administrated intravenously every two days during the three cycles of DSS treatment. Mice were sequentially killed randomly at the end of the 18th week, and at least five mice were killed for each group at each time point. RNAs were extracted by Trizol and sequenced by Solexa high-throughput sequencing service (Oebiotech, Shanghai, China). Data were extracted and normalized according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol.Each group has three mices' colon tissues be tested. Results: Log-fold changes of up- or down-regulated mRNAs between the control and experiment group were selected with a significance threshold of p<0.05. There are 1017 mRNAs were up-regulated and 815 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+IgG Ab" group comparing to “control" group. There are 385 mRNAs were up-regulated and 163 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab" group comparing to “control" group. There are 1314 mRNAs were up-regulated and 968 were down-regulated in “AOM/DSS+anti-S100a9 Ab" group comparing to “AOM/DSS+IgG Ab". Conclusions: Our study describes the global transciptome changes of colon tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse model induced by anti-S100a9 antibody treatment.

Project description:Aberrant intestinal inflammation plays a critical role in the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), yet the mechanisms behind this progression are not clearly defined. While altered microRNA (miRNA) expression is observed in CAC, it is unclear how myeloid-specific microRNA’s impact on the inflammatory process that underpins the continuum from Ulcerative colitis (UC) to tumorigenesis. Here we used the Azoxymethane-Dextran Sodium Sulfate (AOM-DSS) (10mg/kg) model of CAC on miR-223-/y and WT mice, with an overall aim of identifying differences in their expression profiles following AOM/DSS treatment.

Project description:To find out which miRNAs are significantly differential expression and potentially involved in the process of inflammation promoting carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). We established a colitis-associated CRC (AOM/DSS, Azoxymethane/Dextran sulfate sodium salt) model, colitis (DSS) model and high dose carcinogen (AOM, about 5 times AOM amount given than AOM/DSS model) model. At day 100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice (colitis-associated CRC mice) but no tumor was found in AOM (high dose carcinogen) and DSS model, we employed miRNA microarray as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to involve in the progression of CRC promoted by inflammation. 5-7 weeks female BALB/c mice, (1) AOM/DSS group: AOM 12.5mg/kg i.p. at day 1, DSS drinking 5d/21dx3circles from day 5; (2) AOM group: AOM 10mg/kg i.p. 1/weekx6 from day 1; (3) DSS group: DSS drinking 5d/21dx3circles from day 5. The distal colon epithelial tissues were collected at day100 when tumor formed in AOM/DSS bearing mice. The miRNA microarray experiments were performed together.

Project description:MUC1 is a tumor-associated antigen that is aberrantly expressed in cancer and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Even though immune cells express low MUC1 levels, their modulations of MUC1 are important in tumor progression. Consistent with previous clinical data that show increased myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in IBD, we now show that down-regulation of MUC1 on hematopoietic cells increases MDSCs in IBD, similar to our data in tumor-bearing mice. We hypothesize that MDSC expansion in IBD is critical for tumor progression. In order to mechanistically confirm the linkage between Muc1 down-regulation and MDSC expansion, we generated chimeric mice that did not express Muc1 in the hematopoietic compartment (KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT). These mice were used in 2 models of colitis and colitis-associated cancer (CAC) and their responses were compared to wildtype chimeras (WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT). KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice show increased levels of MDSCs during colitis that was responsible for the larger colon tumors that eventually developed in these mice. Using microarray and qRT-PCR analysis, we observed increased pro-tumorigenic signaling in the colons of KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice during colitis as compared to WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice. Our RNA (microarray and qRT-PCR analysis) and protein analysis demonstrate increased up-regulation of metalloproteinases, collagenases, defensins, complements, growth factors, cytokines and chemokines in KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice as compared to WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice. Antibody-mediated depletion of MDSCs in mice during colitis reduced colon tumor formation during CAC. Development of CAC is a serious complication of colitis and our data highlight MDSCs as a targetable link between inflammation and cancer. A total of 12 samples were analysed. RNA was made from the mucosa of the colon of WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT and KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice that were either untreated or treated with azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). There are 4 groups, n=3 for each group: untreated WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice, untreated KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice, AOM+DSS treated WTM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice, AOM+DSS treated KOM-bM-^FM-^RWT mice = 12 samples in total.

Project description:Aberrant epithelial differentiation and regeneration contribute to colon pathologies, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colitis-associated cancer (CAC). Myeloid translocation gene 16 (MTG16, also known as CBFA2T3) is a transcriptional corepressor expressed in the colonic epithelium. MTG16 deficiency in mice exacerbates colitis and increases tumor burden in CAC, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identified MTG16 as a central mediator of epithelial differentiation, promoting goblet and restraining enteroendocrine cell development in homeostasis and enabling regeneration following dextran sulfate sodium–induced (DSS-induced) colitis. Transcriptomic analyses implicated increased Ephrussi box–binding transcription factor (E protein) activity in MTG16-deficient colon crypts. Using a mouse model homozygous for a point mutation that attenuates MTG16:E protein interactions (Mtg16P209T), we showed that MTG16 exerts control over colonic epithelial differentiation and regeneration by repressing E protein–mediated transcription. Mimicking murine colitis, MTG16 expression was increased in biopsies from patients with active IBD compared with unaffected controls. Finally, uncoupling MTG16:E protein interactions partially phenocopied the enhanced tumorigenicity of Mtg16-null colon in the azoxymethane (AOM) /DSS-induced model of CAC, indicating that MTG16 protects from tumorigenesis through additional mechanisms. Collectively, our results demonstrate that MTG16, via its repression of E protein targets, is a key regulator of cell fate decisions during colon homeostasis, colitis, and cancer.
