Project description:Colorectal cancer can be divided into four consensus molecular subtypes, which might associate with distinct precursor lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the subtype affiliation of two types of colorectal adenomas: tubular adenomas (TAs) and sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) and to determine the activity of TGFβ signaling and the role of this cytokine in subtype affiliation. Adenoma samples were collected in the Academic Medical Center (AMC), Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Tubular adenomas (TAs) were obtained from familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients and sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) were collected from serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS) patients. Gene expression was analyzed for 7 sessile serrated adenomas (SSA) and 9 tubular adenomas (TA).

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.

Project description:This study was conducted to explore the serum methylome of precancerous lesions belonging to the serrated pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis in a prospective multicentre cohort. Individuals were grouped into five main categories: (i) serrated adenocarcinoma (SAC), (ii) high-risk serrated polyps (HR-SP) comprising traditional serrated adenomas (TSA), sessile serrated lesions (SSL), and serrated polyps (SP) with dysplasia or ≥ 10 mm; (iii) high-risk hyperplastic polyps (HR-HP), defined as HP ≥ 10 mm; (iv) low-risk serrated lesions (LR-SL) including SP without dysplasia < 10 mm and HP < 10 mm; and (v) healthy individuals with no colorectal findings (NCF). First, epigenome-wide methylation levels were quantified in pooled cfDNA samples to characterize the differential methylation profile between no serrated neoplasia (NSN: NCF and LR-SL) and high-risk serrated lesions (HR-SL: HR-HP and HR-SP); concordance with tissue methylation levels was assessed using external datasets. Then, the pathway-specific cfDNA methylation signature was evaluated together with cfDNA pools from the conventional CRC pathway. cfDNA was extracted from serum samples and methylation measurements were assessed with the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip. Data was mainly preprocessed and analyzed with R/Bioconductor packages.

Project description:BRAF mutations occur early in serrated colorectal cancers, but their long-term influence on tissue homeostasis are poorly characterized. We investigated the impact of short-term (3 days) and long-term (6 months) expression of BrafV600E in the intestinal tissue of an inducible mouse model. We show that BrafV600E perturbs the homeostasis of intestinal epithelial cells, with impaired differentiation of enterocytes emerging after prolonged expression of the oncogene. Moreover, BrafV600E leads to a persistent transcriptional reprogramming with enrichment of numerous gene signatures indicative of proliferation and tumorigenesis, and signatures suggestive of metabolic rewiring. We focused on the top-ranking cholesterol biosynthesis signature and confirmed its increased expression in human serrated lesions. Functionally, the cholesterol lowering drug atorvastatin prevents the establishment of intestinal crypt hyperplasia in BrafV600E-mutant mice. Overall, our work unveils the long-term impact of BrafV600E expression in intestinal tissue and suggests that colorectal cancers with mutations in BRAF might be prevented by statins.

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.

Project description:Despite recent different molecular classifications for colorectal cancer (CRC) have been proposed, CRCs are currently diagnosed based their histology [Hamilton] and just a few biomarkers are used to determine the most suitable treatment. It is for this reason important to correlate molecular profiling with histological features. This issue is especially critical in the serrated pathway for colorectal carcinogenesis since it is not as clearly discerned as the conventional adenoma-carcinoma. Furthermore, making the immune surveillance awake against tumor is now considered as a breakthrough in cancer treatment and the serrated pathological pathway comprises two CRC subtypes with typical weak (SAC) and abundant (hMSI-H) immune responses. Therefore, it is crucial to characterize the biology of these tumors since no previous studies have compared their molecular signatures.
