Incidence and Impact of Preoperative Hiatal Hernia in Patients with Esophageal Carcinoma Undergoing Curative Surgical Resection. J Gastrointest Surg 2023; 27:2907-2919. [PMID: 38038853 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-023-05872-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hiatal hernia (HH) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma. High positive margin rates and poor survival were described among HH patients undergoing esophagectomy. We sought to describe incidence and impact of HH on outcomes following esophagectomy. METHODS Patients who underwent esophagectomy 2012-2019 for esophago-junctional carcinoma were included. CT studies were blindly reviewed by two radiologists. A third radiologist reviewed cases of disagreement. Hernias ≥ 3 cm were included in the HH group. RESULTS Overall, 66 patients (33%) had HH ≥ 3 cm. The no hernia group included 12 patients (6%) with < 3 cm HH and 106 (53%) without HH. Preoperative variables were comparable among groups. Location of anastomosis was similar among cohorts and predominantly cervical (n = 97, 82.2% vs 61, 92.4%, p = 0.113). Postoperatively, HH patients had higher incidence of atrial dysrhythmia (n = 11, 16.7% vs n = 6, 5.1% p = 0.015). Rates of R0 resections were similar (n = 62, 93.9%, vs n = 113, 95.8%, p = 0.724). HH patients had higher rates of signet ring cell histology (n = 14, 21.2% vs n = 9, 7.6% p = 0.025); this was confirmed on subgroup analysis including only adenocarcinoma patients (n = 14, 28.6% vs n = 8, 12.3%, p = 0.042). On Cox regression analysis, HH was not associated with disease-free or overall survival (HR 1.308, p = 0.274 and HR .905, p = 0.722). CONCLUSIONS Patients with preoperative HH had higher rates of postoperative atrial dysrhythmias and signet ring cell features on pathology. In a population with predominant cervical anastomosis, positive margin rates were low and survival comparable among cohorts.

[PMID: 35756666 PMCID: PMC9213662 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.859716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Bile acids (BAs) have been proposed to promote gastrointestinal cells carcinogenesis. However, studies on serum total bile acid (TBA) levels and gastrointestinal cancers (GICs) risk are rare. Methods We conducted a retrospective case-control study from 2015 to 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University, in which 4,256 GICs cases and 1,333 controls were recruited. Patients' demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using binary logistic regression models. Results Positive associations were observed between serum TBA levels and risks of esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Overall, ORs of EC, GC and CRC risk rose with the TBA levels increasing. After adjustment for potential confounders, the OR of TBA-positive for EC risk was 4.89 (95% CI: 3.20-7.49), followed by GC (OR: 3.92, 95% CI: 2.53-6.08), and CRC (OR: 3.32, 95% CI: 2.04-5.11). Patients aged 60 years or older have a higher risk of GICs, especially for EC patients. Males are associated with a higher risk of GC, while females are associated with a higher risk of CRC. Preoperative serum TBA positive and negative was significantly different in the presence or absence of hematogenous metastasis among EC patients (P=0.014), and lymph node metastasis among GC patients (P=0.018). Conclusions This retrospective study showed positive associations between serum TBA level and GICs risk, and a higher serum TBA level constitutes a risk factor for GICs.

Potential roles of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma without major causative risk factors. J Gastroenterol 2021; 56:891-902. [PMID: 34426869 DOI: 10.1007/s00535-021-01815-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) are the major causative risk factors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC); however, reports on ESCC cases unrelated to these risk factors are very limited. Here, we investigated the clinicopathological features and etiology of such cases. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 704 consecutive superficial ESCC tumors of 512 patients who were treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups-the very low-risk (VLR)-group and risk (R)-group-based on the presence of the abovementioned risks. Clinical, endoscopic, and pathological characteristics and genetic findings were assessed in both groups. RESULTS The VLR-group consisted of 21 (4.1%) patients, who were characteristically female. Patients in the VLR-group presented gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal hernia, and non-open-type atrophic gastritis, and were negative for Helicobacter pylori. We found unique endoscopic features-frequently observed in the posterior wall of the middle thoracic esophagus-with a linear shape that closely resembled the erosion-like form of GERD. Additionally, histopathological examination showed that these tumors presented atypical nuclei limited to the basal and parabasal layer, sequential to the surrounding changes that presented pathological chronic inflammation of esophagitis. Evaluation of somatic mutations in cancer-related genes using next-generation sequencing revealed that the positive carcinogenic potential (TP53 mutation) of the tumors was relatively frequent in the VLR-group. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that ESCC without major causative factors is related to GERD, with no remarkable oncogenic difference.

Roles of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway and pentose phosphate pathway in bile acid-induced cancer development. Cancer Sci 2019; 110:2408-2420.

Abstract
Esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) as well as adenocarcinomas (EACs) were developed in rat duodenal contents reflux models (reflux model). The present study aimed to shed light on the mechanism by which bile acid stimulation causes cancer onset and progression. Metabolomics analyses were performed on samples of neoplastic and nonneoplastic tissues from reflux models, and K14D, cultivated from a nonmetastatic, primary ESCC, and ESCC‐DR, established from a metastatic thoracic lesion. ESCC‐DRtca2M was prepared by treating ESCC‐DR cells with taurocholic acid (TCA) to accelerate cancer progression. The lines were subjected to comprehensive genomic analyses. In addition, protein expression levels of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) (p65) and O‐linked N‐Acetylglucosamine (O‐GlcNAc) were compared among lines. Cancers developed in the reflux models exhibited greater hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) activation compared with the nonneoplastic tissues. Expression of O‐GlcNAc transferase (OGT) increased considerably in both ESCC and EAC compared with nonneoplastic squamous epithelium. Conversely, cell line‐based experiments revealed the greater activation of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) at higher degrees of malignancy. G6PD overexpression in response to TCA exposure was observed. Both NF‐κB (p65) and O‐GlcNAc were expressed more highly in ESCC‐DRtca2M than in the other cell lines. Moreover, ESCC‐DRtca2M cells had additional chromosomal abnormalities in excess of ESCC‐DR cells. Overall, glucose metabolism was upregulated in both esophageal cancer tissue and cell lines. While bile acids are not mutagenic, chronic exposure seems to trigger NF‐κB(p65) activation, potentially inducing genetic mutations as well as facilitating carcinogenesis and cancer progression. Glucose metabolism was upregulated in both esophageal cancer tissue and cell lines, and the HBP was activated in the former. The cell line‐based experiments demonstrated upregulation of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) at higher degrees of malignancy. While bile acids are not mutagenic, chronic exposure seems to trigger G6PD overexpression and NF‐κB (p65) activation, potentially inducing genetic mutations as well as facilitating carcinogenesis and cancer progression.

Preventive effect of oral hangeshashinto (TJ-14) on the development of reflux-induced esophageal cancer. Surgery 2018; 164:S0039-6060(18)30037-0. [PMID: 29576309 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2018.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2017] [Revised: 01/28/2018] [Accepted: 02/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prostaglandin E2 is one of the potential products that promotes development of tumors and also is a strong inducer of M2 phenotype macrophages, which contribute to tumor development in the immunosuppressed microenvironment. Hangeshashinto (TJ-14), a Japanese traditional medicine (Kampo medicine), has been reported to be effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis through the reduction of prostaglandin E2. We previously developed a surgical rat reflux model of esophageal cancer and used this well-established animal model to investigate the action of TJ-14 in preventing esophageal cancer. We also assessed the effect of TJ-14 on the downregulation of prostaglandin E2 production, utilizing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line exposed to bile acid. METHODS An end-to-side esophagojejunostomy was performed for the reflux model. A daily oral diet was subsequently administered, consisting of either diet-incorporated TJ-14 or standard diet as a control group. The rats were killed at 40 weeks after surgery. The incidence of esophageal cancer, Barrett's metaplasia, and proliferative hyperplasia were assessed histologically. CD163, a M2 phenotype macrophage marker, was assessed with immunohistochemistry. Prostaglandin E2 enzyme immunoassay and lactate dehydrogenase assay were performed on chenodeoxycholic acid or gastroesophageal reflux contents exposed to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line. RESULTS Sixty-seven percent of the controls (n = 12) developed esophageal cancer, but animals that received TJ-14 (n = 10) had a cancer incidence of 10% (P=.007). Barrett's metaplasia was found in 83% of the rats in the control group and 50% of the rats in the TJ-14 indicating a protective tendency of TJ-14 (P=.095). All of the rats developed proliferative hyperplasia. The number of M2 phenotype macrophage were significantly decreased in the TJ-14 group compared to the control group in both Barrett's metaplasia and esophageal cancer lesions. TJ-14 inhibited chenodeoxycholic acid or gastroesophageal reflux content-induced prostaglandin E2 production in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell. CONCLUSION TJ-14 reduced the incidence of reflux-induced esophageal cancer and the infiltration of M2 macrophages in a surgical rat model or suppressed prostaglandin E2 production in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell. Further investigation is required regarding the potential clinical use of TJ-14 as an esophageal cancer chemopreventive agent.

Abstract
Despite an improved understanding of cancer molecular biology, immune landscapes, and advancements in cytotoxic, biologic, and immunologic anti-cancer therapeutics, cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide. More than 8.2 million deaths were attributed to cancer in 2012, and it is anticipated that cancer incidence will continue to rise, with 19.3 million cases expected by 2025. The development and investigation of new diagnostic modalities and innovative therapeutic tools is critical for reducing the global cancer burden. Toward this end, transitional animal models serve a crucial role in bridging the gap between fundamental diagnostic and therapeutic discoveries and human clinical trials. Such animal models offer insights into all aspects of the basic science-clinical translational cancer research continuum (screening, detection, oncogenesis, tumor biology, immunogenicity, therapeutics, and outcomes). To date, however, cancer research progress has been markedly hampered by lack of a genotypically, anatomically, and physiologically relevant large animal model. Without progressive cancer models, discoveries are hindered and cures are improbable. Herein, we describe a transgenic porcine model—the Oncopig Cancer Model (OCM)—as a next-generation large animal platform for the study of hematologic and solid tumor oncology. With mutations in key tumor suppressor and oncogenes, TP53R167H and KRASG12D, the OCM recapitulates transcriptional hallmarks of human disease while also exhibiting clinically relevant histologic and genotypic tumor phenotypes. Moreover, as obesity rates increase across the global population, cancer patients commonly present clinically with multiple comorbid conditions. Due to the effects of these comorbidities on patient management, therapeutic strategies, and clinical outcomes, an ideal animal model should develop cancer on the background of representative comorbid conditions (tumor macro- and microenvironments). As observed in clinical practice, liver cirrhosis frequently precedes development of primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma. The OCM has the capacity to develop tumors in combination with such relevant comorbidities. Furthermore, studies on the tumor microenvironment demonstrate similarities between OCM and human cancer genomic landscapes. This review highlights the potential of this and other large animal platforms as transitional models to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical practice.

Alteration of Esophageal Microbiome by Antibiotic Treatment Does Not Affect Incidence of Rat Esophageal Adenocarcinoma. Dig Dis Sci 2016; 61:3161-3168.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that chronic inflammation-associated cancer is relevant to microbiome. Esophageal adenocarcinoma arises from an inflammatory condition called Barrett's esophagus, which is caused by gastroesophageal reflux. We hypothesized that esophageal microbiome plays a role in carcinogenesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma. AIM We investigated whether alteration of microbiome using antibiotics affects the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. METHODS Seven-week-old male Wistar rats which had undergone esophagojejunostomy were divided into control (n = 21) and antibiotic groups (n = 22) at 21 weeks after surgery. Control animals were given drinking water, while the other group was given penicillin G and streptomycin in drinking water until rats were killed at 40 weeks after operation. Incidence rates of Barrett's esophagus and adenocarcinoma in each group were evaluated by histological analysis. DNA was extracted from a portion of the distal esophagus, and the microbiome was investigated using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis. RESULTS All rats in both groups developed Barrett's esophagus. Incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma was similar between both groups with a trend to reduced incidence in the antibiotics group (89 % in the control group, 71 % in the antibiotics group, P = 0.365). T-RFLP analysis showed that esophageal microbiome was different between two groups such as the proportion of Lactobacillales was lower in the antibiotics group and Clostridium cluster XIVa and XVIII was higher in the antibiotics group. CONCLUSIONS Alteration of microbiome does not affect the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Microbiome may not contribute to the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
CONCLUSION The meta-analysis supported the proposition that the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was associated with laryngeal cancer, particularly in the hospital-based control group and diagnosed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or esophageal pH monitoring. However, no significant association was found between GERD and pharyngeal carcinoma. OBJECTIVES A number of studies have been conducted to investigate the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux and laryngeal or pharyngeal carcinoma. The conclusions are still debated. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies associated with the prevalence of GERD in laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer, published up to November 2013.Odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using random effects models or fixed effects models, according to heterogeneity I(2). RESULTS Ten studies were included in this meta-analysis. On average, GERD was significantly higher in the tumor tissue of the study group compared with normal tissue of the control group (OR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.50, 3.14; random effects analysis). The pooled ORs for laryngeal carcinoma were 2.21 (95% CI = 1.53-3.19; I(2) = 97, random effects model) and 3.76 (95% CI = 0.21-67.48; I(2) = 94, random effects model) for pharyngeal carcinoma.

Impact of histone deacetylase 1 and metastasis-associated gene 1 expression in esophageal carcinogenesis. Oncol Lett 2014; 8:758-764.

Abstract
Animal models are important for the development of novel therapies for esophageal cancer. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1)/metastasis-associated gene (MTA1) complexes inhibit p53 acetylation and thus, inhibit p53-induced apoptosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate HDAC1 and MTA1 expression in esophageal carcinogenesis in rats. The rats underwent a total gastrectomy followed by esophagojejunostomy to induce chronic duodenal content reflux esophagitis. The rats were sacrificed sequentially at 20, 30, 40 and 50 weeks post-surgery and the esophagi were examined. Immunohistochemical analysis was conducted to assess the expression and localization of HDAC1 and MTA1. At 20 weeks post-surgery, squamous proliferative hyperplasia and Barrett’s metaplasia (BM) were observed. While, adenocarcinoma-associated BM and squamous cell carcinoma were observed at 30–50 weeks post-surgery. The nuclear expression of HDAC1 and MTA1 was observed in all of the stages of squamous carcinogenesis and adenocarcinogenesis, although not in the normal esophageal epithelium. The expression of HDAC1 and MTA1 may be involved in duodenoesophageal reflux-induced neoplastic transformation of the esophageal mucosa into cancer cells with squamous and adeno differentiation.

Impact of inflammation-metaplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence and inflammatory microenvironment in esophageal carcinogenesis using surgical rat models. Ann Surg Oncol 2014; 21:2012-9. [PMID: 24526548 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-014-3537-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2013] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic inflammation has been demonstrated to correlate with tumor onset and progression. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play an important role in inflammatory tumor microenvironment. We hypothesized that an inflammatory microenvironment around TAMs may promote the development of esophageal carcinomas when induced by duodenal content reflux without carcinogens. ANIMALS AND METHODS A total gastrectomy followed by esophagojejunostomy was performed on rats in order to induce chronic duodenal content reflux esophagitis. The animals were sacrificed sequentially, at the 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th week after surgery, and their esophagi were examined. The primary antibodies against CD68, CD163, pStat3 and Foxp3 were used. Expression and localization of infiltrated cells was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS At 20-weeks' post-surgery, squamous proliferative hyperplasia (PHP) and Barrett's metaplasia (BM) were observed. Adenocarcinoma (ADC) associated with BM, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were observed 30-50 weeks' post-surgery. Numerous CD68 and pStat3-positive cells were identified surrounding PHP and BM after 20 weeks, and around ADC and SCC after 30 weeks. Moderate infiltration of CD163-positive macrophages was seen with BM, ADC, and SCC after 30 weeks. However, very few Foxp3-positive cells were observed around ADC and SCC. CONCLUSION Macrophages infiltrate the esophagus and activate the pStat3 pathway in stromal cells and epithelium. M2 phenotype macrophages infiltrate following infiltration of M1 macrophage and contribute to tumor development through regulatory T cells (Tregs). The involvement of immune cells such as TAMs and Tregs in the inflammatory microenvironment promotes esophageal carcinogenesis.

Abstract
AIM: To determine the effects of gastric juice on the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC).
METHODS: A animal model of duodenogastroesophageal reflux was established in Sprague-Dawley rats undergoing esophagoduodenostomy. The development of EAC and forestomach adenocarcinoma was investigated 40 wk after the treatment. Intraluminal pH and bile of the forestomach were measured.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in pH (t = 0.117, P = 0.925) or bile (χ2 = 0.036, P = 0.85) in the forestomach before and 40 wk after esophagoduodenostomy. There were also no significant differences between the model and controls during esophagoduodenostomy or 40 wk after esophagoduodenostomy. The incidence of intestinal metaplasia (88%) and intestinal metaplasia with dysplasia and adenocarcinoma (28%) in the esophagus in the model was higher than in the controls 40 wk after surgery (χ2 = 43.06, P < 0.001 and χ2 = 9.33, P = 0.002, respectively) and in the forestomach in the model (χ2 = 32.05, P < 0.001 and χ2 = 8.14, P = 0.004, respectively). The incidence rates of inflammation in the esophagus and forestomach were 100% and 96%, respectively (χ2 = 1.02, P = 0.31) in the model, which was higher than in the esophageal control (6.8%) (χ2 = 42.70, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Gastric juice exposure may not cause intestinal metaplasia with dysplasia or adenocarcinoma of the forestomach and may not be related to EAC.
