Genome-wide analysis of mouse intestinal adenoma identifies early steps in the formation of cancer-specific DNA methylation patterns

ABSTRACT: Aberrant CpG methylation is a universal trait of cancer cell genomes and can result in epigenetic modulation of gene activity; however, at which stages tumour-specific epigenetic patterns arise is unknown. Here, we analyse the methylome of APCM in mouse intestinal adenoma as a model of intestinal cancer initiation, and inventory a map of over 13,000 adenoma-specific recurrent differentially methylated regions (DMRs). We find that multiple genes coding for Polycomb proteins are upregulated in adenoma, and concomitantly, hypermethylated DMRs form preferentially at Polycomb target sites. We establish that DMRs are absent from proliferating intestinal epithelial cells or intestinal stem cells, and thus arise de novo after loss of APC. Importantly, a core set of DMRs is conserved in human colon cancer, defining a class of early epigenetic alterations that are distinct from known sets of epigenetically silenced tumour suppressors. The data presented suggests a sequence of events that leads to an altered methylome of colon cancer cells, and may allow more specific selection of clinical epigenetic biomarkers.

Global DNA methylation alterations reveal multiple pathways in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer

Project description:Genetic and epigenetic alterations are a fundamental aspect of colorectal cancer formation. There is considerable heterogeneity between colorectal cancers regarding the mutations and methylated genes they carry, and this heterogeneity may arise early in the polyp-cancer sequence. However, our understanding of the epigenetic alterations and gene mutations in colon adenomas and their relation to colorectal cancer is incomplete. Thus, we have assessed the methylome in normal colon mucosa, tubular adenomas, and colorectal adenocarcinomas and have determined the relationship of these findings between adenomas and cancer in the colon. Genome-wide alterations in DNA methylation were found in the normal colon mucosa adjacent to colorectal cancer, tubular adenomas, and colorectal cancer. Three subgroups of CRCs and two subgroups of adenomas were identified on the basis of their DNA methylation patterns. The adenomas separated into a high-frequency methylation class (Adenoma-H) and a low-frequency methylation class. The adenoma-H polyps have a methylated DNA signature similar to non-CIMP CRCs, whereas those of the Adenoma-L class have a similar methylation pattern to normal colon mucosa. The CpGs that account for these signatures are located in intragenic/intergenic regions, which suggests that these two groups of adenomas arise from different stem cell populations. We conducted genome-wide array-based studies and comprehensive data analyses of aberrantly methylated loci in 41 normal colon samples, 42 colon adenomas, and 64 colorectal cancers.

An EphB-Abl signaling pathway important for intestinal tumor initiation and growth

Project description:EphB receptors regulate the proliferation and positioning of intestinal stem and progenitor cells. In addition, they can act as tumor promoters for adenoma development, but suppress progression to invasive carcinoma. Here we used imatinib to abrogate Abl kinase activity in ApcMin/+ mice and in mice with LGR5+ stem cells genetically targeted for APC. This treatment inhibited the tumor-promoting effects of EphB signaling without attenuating EphB-mediated tumor suppression, demonstrating the role of EphB signaling in intestinal tumor initiation. The investigated treatment regimen extended the lifespan of ApcMin/+ mice, and reduced cell proliferation in cultured slices of adenomas from FAP patients. These findings connect the EphB signaling pathway to the regulation of intestinal adenoma initiation via Abl kinase. Our findings may have clinical implications for pharmacological therapy against adenoma formation and cancer progression in patients predisposed to develop colon cancer. We used microarray to assess the short term (3h and 12h) effects on gene expression in colon stem and progenitor cells after administration of Imatinib.

SOX17 initiates an immune evasion program in early colorectal cancers [RNAseq_230707Yil]

Project description:In addition to accumulation of step-wise genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations play critical roles in the evolution of colon cancers. However, distinct mutational patterns and patient backgrounds render it challenging to distinguish driver epigenetic alterations from passenger epigenetic alterations. To address this, we combined the colon cancer organoid orthotopic transplantation approach with comprehensive epigenomic and transcriptomic analyses. We found that an in vivo environment induces epigenetic alterations with fetal intestinal features that converge on SOX17, a transcription factor that is required for endoderm development. Surprisingly, SOX17 knockout leads to tumour rejection in immunocompetent mice, but not in immunodeficient mice, by turning immune cold tumours into hot with robust infiltration of activated CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, SOX17 suppresses Ifngr1-mediated MHC-I expression to evade CD8+ T cell-mediated tumour cell killing. At the tumour initiation, SOX17 expression is induced by APC loss, and SOX17 facilitates the production of LGR5- cells with low MHC-I expression to evade immune surveillance. Together, our result reveals that SOX17 is a master transcriptional factor that induces in vivo epigenetic reprograming of tumours, which provides fundamental understanding of how an immune evasion program is initiated at the early stages of colon cancer development.

Trancriptomic and epigenetic analyses of mouse organoids expressing BrafV600E mutation [BiSulfite-seq]

Project description:Abnormal promoter DNA hypermethylation arises early during tumorigenesis and yet its role in cancer initiation has remained underexplored. An important scenario for examining this is, BRAFV600E-mutant colon adenocarcinomas (COAD) which most often arise in the proximal colon and harbor extensive, abnormal gene promoter CpG-island methylation or the methylator phenotype (CIMP). How CIMP and BRAF-mutations specifically interact for COAD initiation has remained unclear. Using mouse colon-derived organoids, we show promoter hypermethylation spontaneously arises in wild type cells mimicking “aging like” phenotype. The silenced genes sufficiently activate the Wnt pathway, causing a stem–like state and profound differentiation block. This phenotype renders long-term cultured organoids to be rapidly susceptible to transformation by BRAFV600E with features of typical right-sided COAD. Our studies tightly link epigenetic abnormalities, suggested to arise with aging, to intestinal cell fate changes and define an “epi-driver” role for multiple abnormally silenced genes that predispose to BRAFV600E-driven colon tumorigenesis.
