Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by genome-wide alterations to DNA methylation that influence gene expression and genomic stability. Less is known about the extent to which methylation is disrupted in the earliest stages of CRC development. In this study we have combined laser-capture microdissection (LCM) with reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) to identify cancer associated DNA methylation changes in human aberrant crypt foci (ACF), the earliest putative precursor to CRC. Using this approach, methylation profiles have been generated for 10 KRAS-mutant ACF and 10 CRCs harboring a KRAS mutation, as well as matched samples of normal mucosa. Of 811 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) identified in ACF, 537 (66%) were hypermethylated and 274 (34%) were hypomethylated. DMRs located within intergenic regions were heavily enriched for AP-1 transcription factor binding sites and were frequently hypomethylated. Furthermore, gene ontology (GO) analysis demonstrated that DMRs associated with promoters were enriched for genes involved in intestinal development, including homeobox genes and targets of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2).Consistent with their role in the earliest stages of colonic neoplasia, 75% of the methylation changes identified in ACF were also present in the CRC samples. Together, these data demonstrate that DNA methylation changes, including significant hypomethylation, occur more frequently in early colonic neoplasia than previously believed, and identify epigenomic features of ACF that may provide new targets for cancer chemoprevention or lead to the development of new biomarkers for CRC risk.

Project description:Lung cancer occurs in never-smokers. Epigenetic changes in lung cancer potentially represent important diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic targets. We compared DNA methylation profiles of 28 adenocarcinomas of the lungs of never-smokers with paired adjacent nonmalignant lung tissue. We correlated differential methylation changes with gene expression changes from the same 28 samples. We observed a distinct separation in methylation profiles between tumor and adjacent nonmalignant lung tissue using principal component analysis. Tumors were generally hypomethylated compared with adjacent nonmalignant tissue. Of 1,906 differentially methylated CpG sites between tumor and nonmalignant tissue, 1,198 were within classically defined CpG islands where tumors were hypermethylated compared with nonmalignant tissue. A total of 708 sites were outside CpG islands where tumors were hypomethylated compared with nonmalignant tissue. There were significant differences in expression of 351 genes (23%) of the 1,522 genes matched to the differentially methylated CpG sites. Genes that were not significantly differentially expressed and were hypermethylated within CpG sites were enriched for homeobox genes. These results suggest that the methylation profiles of lung adenocarcinomas of never-smokers and adjacent nonmalignant lung tissue are significantly different. Despite the differential methylation of homeobox genes, no significant changes in expression of these genes were detected.

Project description:Human samples of various thyroid carcinomas, adenomas, and normals, each from a different patient, had mRNA assays performed using Affymetrix HG_U133A arrays, with 22283 probe-sets. The 99 samples consisted of 4 normals, 10 follicular adenomas, 13 follicular carcinomas, 7 oncocytic adenomas, 8 oncocytic carcinomas, 51 papillary carcinomas (each typed as having classical, follicular or tall cell morphology), 4 anaplastic carcinomas, and 2 medullary carcinomas. Interesting additional information on common mutations are provided including RAS mutation, BRAF mutation, RET/PTC rearrangements, and PAX8/PPARG translocations. Details of those assays are provided in our linked publications, as well as additional details on the specific mutations in a few special cases. No survival data is provided. Information for 93 of the 99 samples was previously made available on the web. The anaplastic and medullary carcinoma data were not previously shared. A supplementary Excel spreadsheet holding the same processed data as the series matrix file is provided and is more compact. The raw (.CEL) files are also provided.

Project description:Promoter hypermethylation divides colon cancers into subtypes with and without a CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Here, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of colonic normal and tumor tissues to dissect development of CpG hypermethylation in colon carcinogenesis. This identified age-environment related versus genetically driven CpG hypermethylation, the latter being associated with CIMP cancers. We found a strong association between BRAFV600E mutation and downregulation of the DNA demethylases TET1 and TET2. Expression of BRAFV600E in CIMP cancer cells suppressed TET1 transcription, which was sufficient to establish hypermethylation at CIMP genes promoters, including that of TET2. This phenotype was reverted by the BRAFV600E inhibitor vemurafenib. Thus, BRAFV600E, via impairment of cytosine de-methylation, is a genetic driver of CIMP in colon tumorigenesis.
