Stromal contribution to expression signatures of colorectal cancer (rectal samples)

ABSTRACT: We noticed that a recently identified poor prognosis stem/serrated molecular subtype of colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by up-regulation of transcripts known to be also expressed by stromal cells. To better define the origin of such transcripts, we analyzed RNAseq and microarray datasets from CRC mouse xenografts, where human cancer cells are supported by murine stroma. The analysis revealed that mRNA levels of stem/serrated subtype genes are mostly due to stromal expression, even when the stromal fraction is below 5%. Indeed, a classifier based on genes exclusively expressed by cancer-associated fibroblasts was significantly associated, in multiple datasets, to poor prognosis of CRC and to radioresistance of rectal cancer.

Impaired immunosurveillance by the simultaneous loss of both atypical PKCs drives serrated intestinal cancer

Project description:The serrated adenocarcinoma subtype accounts for 15-30% of all colorectal cancers (CRCs) and is aggressive and treatment-resistant. it is an alternative mechanism for CRC development characterized by dysregulation of the MAPK pathway. We show that human serrated tumors display reduced expression of PKCz and PKCl/i, and that the simultaneous inactivation of these genes in the mouse intestinal epithelium resulted in spontaneous tumorigenesis through the serrated pathway that progressed to advanced cancer. Whereas epithelial PKCl/i deficiency led to immunogenic cell death that repressed tumor initiation, interferon and CD8+ T cell responses were impaired concomitant with stromal activation and immunosuppression driven by PKCz loss. Thus, PKCz and PKCl/i cooperatively suppress serrated tumorigenesis. Targeting this stromal activation and immunosuppression showed synergistic curative activity.

BCL9 provides multi-cellular communication properties in colorectal cancer by interacting with paraspeckle proteins

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer, which despite recent advances in treatment, remains incurable due to molecular heterogeneity of tumor cells. The B-cell lymphoma 9 (BCL9) oncogene functions as a transcriptional co-activator of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which plays critical roles in CRC pathogenesis. Here we have identified a β-catenin-independent function of BCL9 in a poor-prognosis subtype of CRC tumors characterized by expression of stromal and neural associated genes. In response to spontaneous calcium transients or cellular stress, BCL9 is recruited adjacent to the interchromosomal regions, where it stabilizes the mRNA of calcium signaling and neural associated genes by interacting with paraspeckle proteins. BCL9 subsequently promotes tumor progression and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by sustaining the calcium transients and neurotransmitter-dependent communication among CRC cells. These data provide additional insights into the role of BCL9 in tumor pathogenesis and point towards additional avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Colorectal cancer susceptibility loci as predictive markers of rectal cancer prognosis after surgery

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanism of rectal cancer and develop markers for disease prognostication, we generated and explored a dataset from 243 rectal cancer patients by gene expression microarray analysis of cancer samples and matched controls, and SNP-arrays of germline DNA. We found that two of the loci most strongly linked with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, 8q24 (upstream of MYC) and 18q21 (in the intron of SMAD7), as well as 20q13 (in the intron of LAMA5), are tightly associated with the prognosis of rectal cancer patients. For SNPs on 18q21 (rs12953717 and rs4464148) and 20q13 (rs4925386), alleles that correlate with higher risk for the development of CRC are associated with shorter disease free survival (DFS). However, for rs6983267 on 8q24, the low risk allele is associated with a higher risk for recurrence and metastasis after surgery, and importantly, is strongly correlated with the resistance of CRC cell lines to chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We also found that although MYC expression is dramatically increased in cancer, patients with higher levels of MYC have a better prognosis. The expression of SMAD7 is weakly correlated with DFS. Notably, the presence of the 8q24 and 18q21 SNP alleles is not correlated with expression levels of MYC and SMAD7. rs4464148, and probably rs6983267 and rs4925386, are linked with overall survival time of patients. In conclusion, we show that several CRC risk SNPs detect subpopulations of rectal cancer patients with poor prognosis, and that rs6983267 probably affects prognosis through interfering with the resistance of cancer cells to CRT.

mRNA-seq analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line OC3 and TW2.6 derived xenografts (CDXs)

Project description:In many solid tumors, tissue of mesenchymal subtype is frequently associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) state, strong stromal infiltration, and poor prognosis. Emerging evidence from tumor ecosystem studies indicate that the stromal components, including cancer associated fibroblast (CAFs), actively participate in cancer growth and progression. Transcriptomic analysis of xenograft tissues provides a unique advantage in dissecting hallmark genes of tumor (human) or stromal (murine) origins.

Classification of serrated colorectal tumors

Project description:Serrated adenocarcinomas are morphologically different from conventional adenocarcinomas. The serrated pathway has recently been proposed to represent a novel mechanism of colorectal cancer (CRC) formation. However, whether they are biologically different and truly form a distinct subclass of CRC, is not known. This study shows that the gene expression profile of serrated and conventional CRCs differs from each others and that serrated CRCs are not only morphologically novel, but also biologically distinct subclass of CRC.
