AIM:To investigate insulin-like growth factor 2(IGF2)differentially methylated region(DMR)0 hypomethylation in relation to clinicopathological and molecular features in colorectal serrated lesions.METHODS:To accurately analyze the association between the histological types and molecular features of each type of serrated lesion,we consecutively collected1386 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens that comprised all histological types[hyperplastic polyps(HPs,n=121),sessile serrated adenomas(SSAs,n=132),traditional serrated adenomas(TSAs,n=111),non-serrated adenomas(n=195),and colorectal cancers(n=827)].We evaluated the methylation levels of IGF2 DMR0 and long interspersed nucleotide element-1(LINE-1)in HPs(n=115),SSAs(n=120),SSAs with cytological dysplasia(n=10),TSAs(n=91),TSAs with high-grade dysplasia(HGD)(n=15),non-serrated adenomas(n=80),non-serrated adenomas with HGD(n=105),and CRCs(n=794).For the accurate quantification of the relative methylation levels(scale 0%-100%)of IGF2 DMR0 and LINE-1,we used bisulfite pyrosequencing method.Tumor specimens were analyzed for microsatellite instability,KRAS(codons 12 and 13),BRAF(V600E),and PIK3CA(exons 9and 20)mutations;MLH1 and MGMT methylation;and IGF2 expression by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:The distribution of the IGF2 DMR0 methylation level in 351 serrated lesions and 185 non-serrated adenomas(with or without HGD)was as follows:mean61.7,median 62.5,SD 18.0,range 5.0-99.0,interquartile range 49.5-74.4.The IGF2 DMR0 methylation level was divided into quartiles(Q1≥74.5,Q2 62.6-74.4,Q3 49.6-62.5,Q4≤49.5)for further analysis.With regard to the histological type,the IGF2 DMR0 methylation levels of SSAs(mean±SD,73.1±12.3)were significantly higher than those of HPs(61.9±20.5),TSAs(61.6±19.6),and non-serrated adenomas(59.0±15.8)(P<0.0001).The IGF2 DMR0 methylation level was inversely correlated with the IGF2 expression level(r=-0.21,P=0.0051).IGF2 DMR0 hypomethylation was less frequently detected in SSAs compared with HPs,TSAs,and non-serrated adenomas(P<0.0001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis also showed that IGF2 DMR0 hypomethylation was inversely associated with SSAs(P<0.0001).The methylation levels of IGF2 DMR0 and LINE-1 in TSAs with HGD(50.2±18.7and 55.7±5.4,respectively)were significantly lower than those in TSAs(61.6±19.6 and 58.8±4.7,respectively)(IGF2 DMR0,P=0.038;LINE-1,P=0.024).CONCLUSION:IGF2 DMR0 hypomethylation may be an infrequent epigenetic alteration in the SSA pathway.Hypomethylation of IGF2 DMR0 and LINE-1 may play a role in TSA pathway progression. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-v-Akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog signaling pathway.METHODS: We analyzed 231 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded gastric cancer tissue specimens from Japanese patients who had undergone surgical treatment. The patients’ age, sex, tumor location, depth of invasion, pathological type, lymph node metastasis, and pathological stage were determined by a review of the medical records. Expression of HER2 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using the HercepTestTM kit. Standard criteria for HER2 positivity (0, 1+, 2+, and 3+) were used. Tumors that scored 3+ were considered HER2-positive. Expression of phospho Akt (pAkt) was also analyzed by IHC. Tumors were considered pAkt-positive when the percentage of positive tumor cells was 10% or more. PI3K, catalytic, alpha polypeptide (PIK3CA) mutations in exons 1, 9 and 20 were analyzed by pyrosequencing. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection was analyzed by in situ hybridization targeting EBV-encoded small RNA (EBER) with an EBER-RNA probe. Microsatellite instability (MSI) was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction using the mononucleotide markers BAT25 and BAT26.RESULTS: HER2 expression levels of 0, 1+, 2+ and 3+ were found in 167 (72%), 32 (14%), 12 (5%) and 20 (8.7%) samples, respectively. HER2 overexpression (IHC 3+) significantly correlated with intestinal histological type (15/20 vs 98 /205, P = 0.05). PIK3CA mutations were present in 20 cases (8.7%) and significantly correlated with MSI (10/20 vs 9/211, P < 0.01). The mutation frequency was high (21%) in T4 cancers and very low (6%) in T2 cancers. Mutations in exons 1, 9 and 20 were detected in 5 (2%), 9 (4%) and 7 (3%) cases, respectively. Two new types of PIK3CA mutation, R88Q and R108H, were found in exon1. All PIK3CA mutations were heterozygous missense single-base substitutions, the most common being H1047R (6/20, 30%) in exon20. Eighteen cancers (8%) were EBV-positive and this positivity significantly correlated with a diffuse histological type (13/18 vs 93/198, P = 0.04). There were 7 cases of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinomas (LELC) and 6 of those cases were EBV-positive (percent/EBV: 6/18, 33%; percent/all LELC: 6/7, 86%). pAkt expression was positive in 119 (53%) cases but showed no correlation with clinicopathological characteristics. pAkt expression was significantly correlated with HER2 overexpression (16/20 vs 103/211, P < 0.01) but not with PIK3CA mutations (12/20 vs 107/211, P = 0.37) or EBV infection (8/18 vs 103/211, P = 0.69). The frequency of pAkt expression was higher in cancers with exon20 mutations (100%) than in those with exon1 (40%) or exon9 (56%) mutations. One case showed both HER2 overexpression and EBV infection and 3 cases showed both PIK3CA mutations and EBV infection. However, no cases showed both PIK3CA mutations and HER2 overexpression. One EBV-positive cancer with PIK3CA mutation (H1047R) was MSI-positive. Three of these 4 cases were positive for pAkt expression. In survival analysis, pAkt expression significantly correlated with a poor prognosis (hazard ratio 1.75; 95%CI: 1.12-2.80, P = 0.02).CONCLUSION: HER2 expression, PIK3CA mutations and EBV infection in gastric cancer were characterized. pAkt expression significantly correlates with HER2 expression and with a poor prognosis. 相似文献

The CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) is a distinct form of epigenomic instability. Many CIMP‐high colorectal cancers (CRCs) with BRAF mutation are considered to arise from serrated pathway. We recently reported that microRNA‐31 (miR‐31) is associated with BRAF mutation in colorectal tumors. Emerging new approaches have revealed gradual changes in BRAF mutation and CIMP‐high throughout the colorectum in CRCs. Here, we attempted to identify a possible association between miR‐31 and epigenetic features in serrated pathway, and hypothesized that miR‐31 supports the “colorectal continuum” concept. We evaluated miR‐31 expression, BRAF mutation and epigenetic features including CIMP status in 381 serrated lesions and 222 non‐serrated adenomas and examined associations between them and tumor location (rectum; sigmoid, descending, transverse and ascending colon and cecum). A significant association was observed between high miR‐31 expression and CIMP‐high status in serrated lesions with BRAF mutation (p = 0.0001). In contrast, miR‐31 was slightly but insignificantly associated with CIMP status in the cases with wild‐type BRAF. miR‐31 expression in sessile serrated adenomas (SSAs) with cytological dysplasia was higher than that in SSAs, whereas, no significant difference was observed between traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) and TSAs with high‐grade dysplasia. The frequency of miR‐31, BRAF mutation CIMP‐high and MLH1 methylation increased gradually from the rectum to cecum in serrated lesions. In conclusion, miR‐31 expression was associated with CIMP‐high status in serrated lesions with BRAF mutation. Our data also suggested that miR‐31 plays an important role in SSA evolution and may be a molecule supporting the colorectal continuum. 相似文献

Background
Identifying clinical resectability of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is important, although inter-evaluator heterogeneity (IEH) could exist, especially in borderline resectable (BLR) cases. To investigate the extent of heterogeneity, we conducted clinical diagnostic imaging questionnaires.Materials and methods
Five cases with clinical T3 or T4 cases, which were treated with neo-adjuvant triplet chemotherapy followed by surgery, were selected as the model. These cases were divided into two groups: curative resected cases (#1–#3) and non-curative resected cases (#4 and #5). Only imaging slides were shown without any information about patient characteristics or clinical course. The evaluators consisted of surgeons (staff and non-staff), medical oncologists, and an imaging radiologist; a total of 25 medical staff answered the questionnaire. Two questions (1: clinical T stage before chemotherapy, 2: resectability after chemotherapy) were answered. Occupational differences were assessed by comparing the results to the imaging radiologist.Results
IEH was observed for clinical diagnosis before chemotherapy in one case (clinical T4: 52%, clinical T3: 48%). In the other cases, most evaluators diagnosed them as clinical T4, with 76–88% agreement. IEH for clinical resectability after chemotherapy was relatively small. Occupational IEH was observed in both before and after chemotherapy.Conclusion
IEH in decisions about treating BLR cases in ESCC should be considered in clinical practice. Multi-disciplinary teams are essential to overcome this problem.7.

Recently, bacterial infection causing periodontal disease has attracted considerable attention as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Fusobacterium species is an oral bacterial group of the human microbiome. Some evidence suggests that Fusobacterium species promote colorectal cancer development; however, no previous studies have reported the association between Fusobacterium species and pancreatic cancer. Therefore, we examined whether Fusobacterium species exist in pancreatic cancer tissue. Using a database of 283 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), we tested cancer tissue specimens for Fusobacterium species. We also tested the specimens for KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA mutations and measured microRNA-21 and microRNA-31. In addition, we assessed epigenetic alterations, including CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Our data showed an 8.8% detection rate of Fusobacterium species in pancreatic cancers; however, tumor Fusobacterium status was not associated with any clinical and molecular features. In contrast, in multivariate Cox regression analysis, compared with the Fusobacterium species-negative group, we observed significantly higher cancer-specific mortality rates in the positive group (p = 0.023). In conclusion, Fusobacterium species were detected in pancreatic cancer tissue. Tumor Fusobacterium species status is independently associated with a worse prognosis of pancreatic cancer, suggesting that Fusobacterium species may be a prognostic biomarker of pancreatic cancer. 相似文献

The human intestinal microbiome plays a major role in human health and diseases, including colorectal cancer. Colorectal carcinogenesis represents a heterogeneous process with a differing set of somatic molecular alterations, influenced by diet, environmental and microbial exposures, and host immunity. Fusobacterium species are part of the human oral and intestinal microbiota. Metagenomic analyses have shown an enrichment of Fusobacterium nucleatum(F. nucleatum) in colorectal carcinoma tissue. Using 511 colorectal carcinomas from Japanese patients, we assessed the presence of F. nucleatum. Our results showed that the frequency of F. nucleatum positivity in the Japanese colorectal cancer was 8.6%(44/511), which was lower than that in United States cohort studies(13%). Similar to the United States studies, F. nucleatum positivityin Japanese colorectal cancers was significantly associated with microsatellite instability(MSI)-high status. Regarding the immune response in colorectal cancer, high levels of infiltrating T-cell subsets(i.e., CD3+, CD8+, CD45RO+, and FOXP3+ cells) have been associated with better patient prognosis. There is also evidence to indicate that molecular features of colorectal cancer, especially MSI, influence T-cell-mediated adaptive immunity. Concerning the association between the gut microbiome and immunity, F. nucleatum has been shown to expand myeloid-derived immune cells, which inhibit T-cell proliferation and induce T-cell apoptosis in colorectal cancer. This finding indicates that F. nucleatum possesses immunosuppressive activities by inhibiting human T-cell responses. Certain micro RNAs are induced during the macrophage inflammatory response and have the ability to regulate host-cell responses to pathogens. Micro RNA-21 increases the levels of IL-10 and prostaglandin E2, which suppress antitumor T-cell-mediated adaptive immunity through the inhibition of the antigen-presenting capacities of dendritic cells and T-cell proliferation in colorectal cancer cells. Thus, emerging evidence may provide insights for strategies to target microbiota, immune cells and tumor molecular alterations for colorectal cancer prevention and treatment. Further investigation is needed to clarify the association of Fusobacterium with T-cells and micro RNA expressions in colorectal cancer. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major contributor to cancer-related mortality. LIN28A and LIN28B are highly related RNA-binding protein paralogs that regulate biogenesis of let-7 microRNAs and influence development, metabolism, tissue regeneration, and oncogenesis. Here we demonstrate that overexpression of either LIN28 paralog cooperates with the Wnt pathway to promote invasive intestinal adenocarcinoma in murine models. When LIN28 alone is induced genetically, half of the resulting tumors harbor Ctnnb1 (β-catenin) mutation. When overexpressed in ApcMin/+ mice, LIN28 accelerates tumor formation and enhances proliferation and invasiveness. In conditional genetic models, enforced expression of a LIN28-resistant form of the let-7 microRNA reduces LIN28-induced tumor burden, while silencing of LIN28 expression reduces tumor volume and increases tumor differentiation, indicating that LIN28 contributes to tumor maintenance. We detected aberrant expression of LIN28A and/or LIN28B in 38% of a large series of human CRC samples (n = 595), where LIN28 expression levels were associated with invasive tumor growth. Our late-stage CRC murine models and analysis of primary human tumors demonstrate prominent roles for both LIN28 paralogs in promoting CRC growth and progression and implicate the LIN28/let-7 pathway as a therapeutic target. 相似文献
