Project description:Barrett's esophagus is a common type of metaplasia and a precursor of esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, the cell states and lineage connections underlying the origin, maintenance, and progression of Barrett’s esophagus have not been resolved in humans. Here, we performed single-cell lineage tracing and transcriptional profiling of patient cells isolated from metaplastic and healthy tissue. Our analysis unexpectedly revealed that the squamous esophagus and gastric cardia contained cells belonging to common lineages that also included transitional basal progenitor cells; both esophageal and gastric tissues were also related to Barrett's esophagus. Barrett’s esophagus biopsies consisted of multiple clones, with lineages that contained all progenitor and differentiated cell types. In contrast, precancerous dysplastic lesions were initiated by the expansion of a single molecularly aberrant Barrett’s esophagus clone. Together, these findings provide a comprehensive view of the cell dynamics of Barrett's esophagus, linking cell states along the disease trajectory, from its origin to cancer.

Project description:We aimed to characterize the genomic profiles of adenocarcinomas in the gastroesophageal junction in relation to cancers in the esophagus and the stomach. Profiles of gains/losses as well as gene expression profiles were obtained from 27 gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas using 32k high-resolution array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and 27k oligo gene expression arrays and putative target genes were validated in an extended series. Adenocarcinomas in the distal esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction showed strong similarities with the most common gains at 20q13, 8q24, 1q21-q23, 5p15, 13q34, and 12q13, whereas different profiles with gains at 5p15, 7p22, 2q35, and 13q34 characterized gastric cancers. CDK6 and EGFR were identified as putative target genes in cancers of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction with upregulation in one quarter of the tumors. Gains/losses and gene expression profiles show strong similarity between cancers in the distal esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction with frequent upregulation of CDK6 and EGFR, whereas gastric cancer displays distinct genetic changes. These data suggest that molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies can be applied to adenocarcinomas of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction alike. Three types of gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas; 7 distal esophageal (EA) tumors, 9 junctional (JA) and 7 proximal stomach cancers (GA) was genomically profiled using tiling 32k BAC-arrays. Two replicates of tumors IDs 1-EA-CGH (replicate 1-EA-CGH-2), 12-EA-CGH (replicate 12-EA-CGH-2) and 18-EA-CGH (replicate 18-EA-CGH-2). Reference samples consist of a pool of male DNA (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).

Project description:We aimed to genetically characterize adenocarcinomas in the gastroesophagel junction in relation to cancers in the esophagus and the stomach. In total 27 tumors was genetically profiled using gene expression array. Adenocarcinomas located in the gastroesophageal junction showed strong similarites with tumors in the distal esophagus, whereas different profiles were generated for tumors in the proximal stomach. Three types of gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas; 10 distal esophageal (EA) tumors, 9 junctional (JA) and 8 proximal stomach cancers (GA) was undergone differentially analysis based on gene expression profiles. One replicate of tumor ID 27_JA (replicate ID 27_JA_2) and one replicate of tumor ID 3-GA (replicate ID 3-GA-2). Reference samples consist of the Stratagene Universal Reference (10 cellines), commercially obtained from Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA.

Project description:A subgroup of patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers shows long-term response under trastuzumab maintenance monotherapy. Obviously, HER2 status alone is not able to identify these patients. We performed this study to identify potential new prognostic biomarkers for this long-term responding patient group. Tumor samples of 18 patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer who underwent trastuzumab treatment were retrospectively collected from multiple centers. Patients were divided into long-term responding (n=6) or fast-progression group (n=12) according to progression-free survival (PFS≥12 months vs PFS<12 months).We performed microarray-based gene expression analysis to investigate differences in immune cell populations between the patient groups.

Project description:The gastroesophageal squamocolumnar junction (GE-SCJ) is a critical tissue interface between the esophagus and stomach, with significant relevance in the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal diseases. Despite this, the molecular mechanisms underlying GE-SCJ development remain unclear. Using single-cell transcriptomics, organoids, and spatial analysis, we examine the cellular heterogeneity and spatiotemporal dynamics of GE-SCJ development from embryonic to adult mice. We identify distinct transcriptional states and signaling pathways in the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments of the esophagus and stomach during development. Fibroblast-epithelial interactions are mediated by various signaling pathways, including WNT, BMP, TGF-β, FGF, EGF, and PDGF. Our results suggest that fibroblasts predominantly send FGF and TGF-β signals to the epithelia, while epithelial cells mainly send PDGF and EGF signals to fibroblasts. We observe differences in the ligands and receptors involved in cell-cell communication between the esophagus and stomach. Our findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying GE-SCJ development and fibroblast-epithelial crosstalk involved, paving the way to elucidate mechanisms during adaptive metaplasia development and carcinogenesis.
