Project description:miRNAs were extracted from plasma samples of healthy volunteers, patients with Barrettâ??s esophagus and patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. We used the Serum / Plasma Focus miRNA PCR panel (Exiqon, Denmark) to quantitate miRNA presence in the different patient groups. PCR miRNA profiling. miRNA from three different patient groups were extracted from their plasma.

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus in gastrointestinal reflux patients constitutes a columnar epithelium with distal characteristics, prone to progress to esophageal adenocarcinoma. HOX genes are known mediators of position-dependent morphology. Here we show HOX collinearity in the adult gut while Barrett’s esophagus shows high HOXA13 expression in stem cells and their progeny. HOXA13 overexpression appears sufficient to explain both the phenotype (through downregulation of the epidermal differentiation complex) and the oncogenic potential of Barrett’s esophagus. Intriguingly, employing a mouse model that contains a reporter coupled to the HOXA13 promotor we identify single HOXA13-positive cells distally from the physiological esophagus, which is mirrored in human physiology, but increased in BE. Additionally, we observe that HOXA13 expression confers a competitive advantage to cells. We thus propose that Barrett’s esophagus and associated esophageal adenocarcinoma is the consequence of expansion of this gastro-esophageal HOXA13-expressing compartment following epithelial injury.

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus is a precancerous lesion that confers a significant risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Strategies for selective eradication of Barrett’s have been stymied by our inability to identify the Barrett’s stem cell. Here we employ novel technologies to clone patient-matched stem cells of Barrett’s, gastric, and esophageal epithelium. Genomic analyses of Barrett’s stem cells reveal a patient-specific mutational spectrum ranging from low somatic variation similar to patient-matched gastric epithelial stem cells to ones marked by extensive heterozygous alteration of genes implicated in tumor suppression, epithelial planarity, and epigenetic regulation. Transplantation of transformed Barrett’s stem cells yields tumors with hallmarks of esophageal adenocarcinoma, whereas transformed esophageal stem cells yield squamous cell carcinomas. Thus Barrett’s develops from cells distinct from local eponymous epithelia, emerges without obvious driver mutations, and likely progresses through and from the generation of dominant clones. These findings define a stem cell target for preemptive therapies of a precancerous lesion.

Project description:In the present study, we applied deep, quantitative mass-spectrometry to clinical samples (Barrett’s esophagus and matched adjacent normal biopsies) to gain a mechanistic understanding of the molecular pathways associated with disease progression. From our rich LC/MS profiles, we identified a robust proteomic signature that was able to correctly classify independent samples on disease status. Projection of this same signature against EAC tumor profiles was strongly predictive of survival outcomes, while subsequent comparative analysis with published BE transcriptomic profiles provided independent evidence in support of these results. Further, our phosphoproteomic analysis revealed signaling pathways specifically and significantly altered in BE relative to paired controls, providing some mechanistic insights into the cellular dysregulation of key components of specific processes that likely drives disease progression.

Project description:Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the precursor lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). To detect EAC in early stage, patients with BE undergo endoscopic surveillance. Surveillance cohorts largely consist of non-dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (NDBE) patients with a low annual progression risk (<0.5%). Predictive biomarkers for malignant progression of NDBE could improve efficacy of surveillance. Biomarker research has mostly focused on aberrant protein expression on BE epithelial cells. Moreover, insight in cell signaling driving malignant transformation is unknown. This study uses a data-driven approach to analyze tumor-stroma interaction in NDBE which progressed to high grade dysplasia (HGD) or EAC.

Project description:RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of drugs to try and prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. It is not known whether eflornithine is effective in preventing cancer in patients with Barrett’s esophagus.
PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase II trial to study the effectiveness of eflornithine in preventing cancer in patients with Barrett’s esophagus.
