Project description:Exosomes are small vesicles contain cellular nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and other substances secreted by living cells. The special structure of exosomes makes it possible to protect the inside contents exist in blood stably. Recent researches showed that exosomes are blame for tumor metastatic dissemination, recurrence and malignance, which makes them strong competitors in diagnosis of cancer. The proteomics of exosomes in circulatory system as well as the phosphorylation state of them through different stages of colorectal cancer (CRC) process remain rarely reported. Here we isolate and identify proteins and phosphorylated protein in exosomes from human plasma in healthy donors and different stages of CRC patients by prolonged ultracentrifugation and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. In this study, a total of 462 quantitative proteins were identified, meanwhile, the strategy allowed us to identify 177 quantifiable proteins along with 315 sites. Proteins with notable different levels are verified and fibrinogen chain positive (FGA+) circulating exosomes (crExos) from patients and from mice could identify CRC with excellent sensitivity and specificity while perform very well in early diagnosis of adenomas. According to our findings, FGA+ crExos could serve as a potential non-invasive diagnostic and screening tool to detect early stages of CRC to facilitate possible curative surgical therapy.

Project description:We sought to identify circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) from blood plasma that could be used as biomarkers to detect breast cancer existing in high-risk benign breast tumors. Plasma samples were collected from patients with early-stage breast cancer (CA), high- (HB), moderate- (MB), and no-risk (Be) benign tumors. The miRNAs we have identified have the potential to develop into a crucial blood-based screening tool to help monitor the development of breast cancer in benign breast tumors.

Project description:Background: Screening for the early detection of colorectal cancer is important to improve patient survival. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of circulating cell-free miRNAs as biomarkers of CRC, and their efficiency at delineating patients with polyps and benign adenomas from normal and cancer patient groups. Methods: The expression of 667 miRNAs was assessed in a discovery set of 48 plasma samples comprising normal, polyp, adenoma, and early and advanced cancer samples. Three miRNAs (miR-34a, miR-150, and miR-923) were further examined in a validation cohort of 97 subjects divided into the same five groups, and in an independent public dataset of 40 CRC samples and paired normal tissues. Results: High levels of circulating miR-34a and low miR-150 levels distinguished groups of patients with polyps from those with advanced cancer (AUC=0.904), and low circulating miR-150 levels separated patients with adenomas from those with advanced cancer (AUC=0.875). In addition, the altered expression of miR-34a and miR-150 in an independent public dataset of forty CRC samples and paired normal tissues was confirmed. Conclusion: We identified two circulating miRNAs capable of distinguishing patient groups with different diseases of the colon from each other, and patients with advanced cancer from benign disease groups.

Project description:Development of a primary tumor gene expression profile that can predict the presence of circulating tumor cells in the blood of breast cancer patients. The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood and microarray gene expression profiling of the primary tumor are two promising new technologies able to provide valuable prognostic data for patients with breast cancer. In the current study, we aimed to develop a novel profile which provided independent prognostic data by building a signature predictive of CTC status rather than outcome. Seventy-two primary breast cancer tumor have been analyzed against a breast cancer reference pool.

Project description:Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) relies on the detachment of aggressive malignant cells from the primary tumor into the bloodstream, these Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) being the principal source of the further metastasis. Here, we approached the massive molecular profiling of the CTC population isolated from mCRC patients. Clinically, the presence of CTC is associated with poor prognosis and there exists a clear necessity for more specific and efficient chemotherapies in the treatment of mCRC. Immunoisolation of CTC from these patients combined with a whole transcriptome amplification and hybridization onto gene expression arrays, lead us to specifically describe for the first time a CTC population with adhesive and migratory characteristics, in addition to a modulated expression of genes related to cell death and survival. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis provided with an armamentarium of highly specific and sensitive valuable markers that should impact on the management and follow-up of mCRC patients. Finally, molecular profiling of CTC resulted in the identification of new therapeutic targets, like TGF-β1 impairing, specifically targeting the CTC population which should improve the efficacy in the eradication and prevention of CRC metastasis. In conclusion, molecular profiling of CTC represents an innovative and promising approach in the clinical management of mCRC patients. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) were immunoisolated from six metastatic colorectal patients (mCRC). Moreover, blood from three healthy donors were obtained, immunoisolating non-specific cellularity background. RNA was extracted and globally amplified with a Whole Transcriptome Amplification system. Samples were hybridized onto agilent arrays and CTC specific genes were obtained. Gene networks were built with IPA software and a gene ontology analysis was performed. Eleven candidate genes were validated by real time PCR. Finally, TGFB1 was evaluated as a potential drugable target against CTC population.

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the subject of several translational studies and clinical trials because their examination could offer an insight into tumor progression and clinical outcomes. Circulating tumor microemboli (CTM) are clusters of CTCs that have been described as malignant entities for over 50 years, although a comprehensive characterization of these cells is still lacking. Contrary to current consensus, we demonstrate that CTM isolated from colorectal cancer patients are not cancerous, but represent a discrete population of tumor-derived endothelial cells. CTM express epithelial and mesenchymal markers that are consistent with previous reports on circulating tumor cell phenotyping. However, they do not mirror the genetic variations of matching tumors. Transcriptome analysis of single-CTM reveals that these structures exhibit an endothelial phenotype, with further results supporting a tumor-derived endothelial lineage. CTM are widespread in blood sampled from preoperative cancer patients but not in healthy donors, suggesting CTM count as a potential biomarker of interest for colorectal cancer. CTM should not be confused with bona fide circulating epithelial tumor cells. The characterization of tumor derived endothelial cell clusters (TECCs) is likely of high diagnostic value, and may provide direct information about the underlying tumor vasculature at the time of diagnosis, during treatment and the course of the disease.

Project description:Recent advances in high-throughput technologies have provided an unprecedented opportunity to identify molecular markers of disease processes. This plethora of complex -omics data has simultaneously complicated the problem of extracting meaningful molecular signatures and opened up new opportunities for more sophisticated integrative and holistic approaches. In this era, effective integration of data-driven and knowledge-based approaches for biomarker identification has been recognised as key to improving the identification of high-performance biomarkers, and necessary for translational applications. Here, we have evaluated the role of circulating microRNA as a means of predicting the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. We have developed an innovative multi-objective optimisation method which effectively integrates a data-driven approach with the knowledge obtained from the microRNA-mediated regulatory network to identify robust plasma microRNA signatures which are reliable in terms of predictive power as well as functional relevance. We have found 9 signatures of colorectal cancer prognosis comprising a total of 19 circulating microRNAs. The identified signatures predict the patients’ survival outcome and target pathways underlying colorectal cancer progression. The altered expression of the microRNAs within these signatures was confirmed in two independent public datasets of plasma and tumour samples of patients in early stage versus advanced colorectal cancer.
