Abstract
DNA methylation is a critical component of gene regulation and plays an important role in the development of cancer. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes and silencing of DNA repair pathways facilitate uncontrolled cell growth and synergize with oncogenic mutations to perpetuate cancer phenotypes. Additionally, aberrant DNA methylation hinders immune responses crucial for antitumor immunity. Thus, inhibiting dysregulated DNA methylation is a promising cancer therapy. Pharmacologic inhibition of DNA methylation reactivates silenced tumor suppressors and bolster immune responses through induction of viral mimicry. Now, with the advent of immunotherapies and discovery of the immune-modulatory effects of DNA methylation inhibitors, there is great interest in understanding how targeting DNA methylation in combination with other therapies can enhance antitumor immunity. Here, we describe the role of aberrant DNA methylation in cancer and mechanisms by which it promotes tumorigenesis and modulates immune responses. Finally, we review the initial discoveries and ongoing efforts to target DNA methylation as a cancer therapeutic.

Enrichment of Bacteroides fragilis and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis in CpG island methylator phenotype-high colorectal carcinoma. Clin Microbiol Infect 2024; 30:630-636. [PMID: 38266708 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmi.2024.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Data support that enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) harbouring the Bacteroides fragilis toxin (bft) gene may promote colorectal tumourigenesis through the serrated neoplasia pathway. We hypothesized that ETBF may be enriched in colorectal carcinoma subtypes with high-level CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP-high), BRAF mutation, and high-level microsatellite instability (MSI-high). METHODS Quantitative PCR assays were designed to quantify DNA amounts of Bacteroides fragilis, ETBF, and each bft gene isotype (bft-1, bft-2, or bft-3) in colorectal carcinomas in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and Nurses' Health Study. We used multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models with the inverse probability weighting method. RESULTS We documented 4476 colorectal cancer cases, including 1232 cases with available bacterial data. High DNA amounts of Bacteroides fragilis and ETBF were positively associated with BRAF mutation (p ≤ 0.0003), CIMP-high (p ≤ 0.0002), and MSI-high (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.01, respectively). Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (with 95% confidence interval) for high Bacteroides fragilis were 1.40 (1.06-1.85) for CIMP-high and 2.14 (1.65-2.77) for MSI-high, but 1.02 (0.78-1.35) for BRAF mutation. Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios for high ETBF were 2.00 (1.16-3.45) for CIMP-high and 2.86 (1.64-5.00) for BRAF mutation, but 1.09 (0.67-1.76) for MSI-high. Neither Bacteroides fragilis nor ETBF was associated with colorectal cancer-specific or overall survival. DISCUSSION The tissue abundance of Bacteroides fragilis is associated with CIMP-high and MSI-high, whereas ETBF abundance is associated with CIMP-high and BRAF mutation in colorectal carcinoma. Our findings support the aetiological relevance of Bacteroides fragilis and ETBF in the serrated neoplasia pathway.

MLH1 Promotor Hypermethylation in Colorectal and Endometrial Carcinomas from Patients with Lynch Syndrome. J Mol Diagn 2024; 26:106-114.

Abstract
Screening for Lynch syndrome (LS) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and endometrial cancer patients generally involves immunohistochemical staining of the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins. In case of MLH1 protein loss, MLH1 promotor hypermethylation (MLH1-PM) testing is performed to indirectly distinguish the constitutional MLH1 variants from somatic epimutations. Recently, multiple studies have reported that MLH1-PM and pathogenic constitutional MMR variants are not mutually exclusive. This study describes 6 new and 86 previously reported MLH1-PM CRCs or endometrial cancers in LS patients. Of these, methylation of the MLH1 gene promotor C region was reported in 30 MLH1, 6 MSH2, 6 MSH6, and 3 PMS2 variant carriers at a median age at diagnosis of 48.5 years [interquartile range (IQR), 39-56.75 years], 39 years (IQR, 29-51 years), 58 years (IQR, 53.5-67 years), and 68 years (IQR, 65.6-68.5 years), respectively. For 31 MLH1-PM CRCs in LS patients from the literature, only the B region of the MLH1 gene promotor was tested, whereas for 13 cases in the literature the tested region was not specified. Collectively, these data indicate that a diagnosis of LS should not be excluded when MLH1-PM is detected. Clinicians should carefully consider whether follow-up genetic MMR gene testing should be offered, with age <60 to 70 years and/or a positive family history among other factors being suggestive for a potential constitutional MMR gene defect.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a complex disease characterized by genetic and epigenetic alterations, playing a crucial role in its development and progression. This review aims to provide insights into the emerging landscape of these alterations in CRC pathogenesis to develop effective diagnostic tools and targeted therapies. Genetic alterations in signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR are pivotal in CRC development. Genetic profiling has identified distinct molecular subtypes, enabling personalized treatment strategies. Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, also contribute to CRC pathogenesis by influencing critical cellular processes through gene silencing or activation. Non-coding RNAs have emerged as essential players in epigenetic regulation and CRC progression. Recent research highlights the interplay between genetic and epigenetic alterations in CRC. Genetic mutations can affect epigenetic modifications, leading to dysregulated gene expression and signaling cascades. Conversely, epigenetic changes can modulate genetic expression, amplifying or dampening the effects of genetic alterations. Advancements in understanding pathogenic pathways have potential clinical applications. Identifying genetic and epigenetic markers as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers promises more accurate risk assessment and early detection. Challenges remain, including validating biomarkers and developing robust therapeutic strategies through extensive research and clinical trials. The dynamic nature of genetic and epigenetic alterations necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their temporal and spatial patterns during CRC progression. In conclusion, the genetic and epigenetic landscape of CRC is increasingly being unraveled, providing valuable insights into its pathogenesis. Integrating genetic and epigenetic knowledge holds great potential for improving diagnostics, prognostics, and personalized therapies in CRC. Continued research efforts are vital to translate these findings into clinical practice, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease caused by molecular changes, as driver mutations, gene methylations, etc., and influenced by tumor microenvironment (TME) pervaded with immune cells with both pro- and anti-tumor effects. The studying of interactions between the immune system (IS) and the TME is important for developing effective immunotherapeutic strategies for CRC. In our study, we focused on the analysis of expression profiles of inflammatory and immune-relevant genes to identify aberrant signaling pathways included in carcinogenesis, metastatic potential of tumors, and association of Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) gene mutation. Methods A total of 91 patients were enrolled in the study. Using NGS, differential gene expression analysis of 11 tumor samples and 11 matching non-tumor controls was carried out by applying a targeted RNA panel for inflammation and immunity genes containing 475 target genes. The obtained data were evaluated by the CLC Genomics Workbench and R library. The significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed in Reactome GSA software, and some selected DEGs were used for real-time PCR validation. Results After prioritization, the most significant differences in gene expression were shown by the genes TNFRSF4, IRF7, IL6R, NR3CI, EIF2AK2, MIF, CCL5, TNFSF10, CCL20, CXCL11, RIPK2, and BLNK. Validation analyses on 91 samples showed a correlation between RNA-seq data and qPCR for TNFSF10, RIPK2, and BLNK gene expression. The top differently regulated signaling pathways between the studied groups (cancer vs. control, metastatic vs. primary CRC and KRAS positive and negative CRC) belong to immune system, signal transduction, disease, gene expression, DNA repair, and programmed cell death. Conclusion Analyzed data suggest the changes at more levels of CRC carcinogenesis, including surface receptors of epithelial or immune cells, its signal transduction pathways, programmed cell death modifications, alterations in DNA repair machinery, and cell cycle control leading to uncontrolled proliferation. This study indicates only basic molecular pathways that enabled the formation of metastatic cancer stem cells and may contribute to clarifying the function of the IS in the TME of CRC. A precise identification of signaling pathways responsible for CRC may help in the selection of personalized pharmacological treatment.

Abstract
In 2020, the International Agency for Research on Cancer and the World Health Organization's GLOBOCAN database ranked colorectal cancer (CRC) as the third most common cancer in the world. Most cases of CRC (> 95%) are sporadic and develop from colorectal polyps that can progress to intramucosal carcinoma and CRC. Increasing evidence is accumulating that the gut microbiota can play a key role in the initiation and progression of CRC, as well as in the treatment of CRC, acting as an important metabolic and immunological regulator. Factors that may determine the microbiota role in CRC carcinogenesis include inflammation, changes in intestinal stem cell function, impact of bacterial metabolites on gut mucosa, accumulation of genetic mutations and other factors. In this review, I discuss the major mechanisms of the development of sporadic CRC, provide detailed characteristics of the bacteria that are most often associated with CRC, and analyze the role of the microbiome and microbial metabolites in inflammation initiation, activation of proliferative activity in intestinal epithelial and stem cells, and the development of genetic and epigenetic changes in CRC. I consider long-term studies in this direction to be very important, as they open up new opportunities for the treatment and prevention of CRC.

Abstract
In the era of targeted therapy based on genomic alterations, the treatment strategy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has been changing. Before systemic treatment initiation, determination of tumour genomic status for KRAS and NRAS, BRAFV600E mutations, ERBB2, and microsatellite instability and/or mismatch repair (MMR) status is recommended. In patients with deficient MMR and BRAFV600E mCRC, randomized phase III trials have established the efficacy of pembrolizumab as first-line therapy and the combination of encorafenib and cetuximab as second-line or third-line therapy. In addition, new agents have been actively developed in other rare molecular fractions such as ERBB2 alterations and KRASG12C mutations. In March 2022, the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for ERBB2-positive mCRC was approved in Japan, thereby combining real-world evidence from the SCRUM-Japan Registry. As the populations are highly fragmented owing to rare genomic alterations, various strategies in clinical development are expected. Clinical development of a tumour-agnostic approach, such as NTRK fusion and tumour mutational burden, has successfully introduced corresponding drugs to clinical practice. Considering the difficulty of randomized trials owing to cost-benefit and rarity, a promising solution could be real-world evidence utilized as an external control from the molecular-based disease registry.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC), the 3rd most frequent cancer worldwide, affects both men and women. This pathology arises from the progressive accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations. In this study, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA, and BRAF gene mutations, mismatch repair (MMR) genes methylation profile, microsatellite instability (MSI) and CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP) status were assessed. The associations of these molecular features with clinicopathological data were also investigated. A hundred and eight unselected CRC samples and their histological and clinical data, were gathered between 2017 and 2020. The prevalence of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF gene mutations was similar to that described in other populations. 28.7% of tumors were KRAS-mutated, mostly in men, distal location, with a CIMP-negative status. BRAFV600E frequency was 6.5% and associated with MSI (p = 0.048), MLH1-methylated (p < 0.001) and CIMP-High (p < 0.001) status. We also confirmed that BRAFV600E tumors were more prevalent in older women and proximal location. A striking different result was the lack of most common variants in the PIK3CA gene. A complete absence of PIK3CA-mutated tumors in a population has not been previously reported. Among MMR genes, the only with an aberrant methylation pattern was MLH1 gene. Its frequency was 9.25%, lower than previously reported. Methylated tumors were most frequent in patients older than 70 years old and proximal tumor location. Finally, CIMP-High status was mainly observed in moderately differentiated tumors with a rate of 15.7%. Our findings were consistent with previous reports in other populations, but also showed some features unique to our cohort. This study is the first to report the analysis of a large number molecular biomarkers of CRC in Uruguay and one of the few performed in Latin-America.

Abstract
IntroductionColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common and second most deadly malignancy in the world with an estimated 1. 9 million cases and 0.9 million deaths in 2020. The 5-year overall survival for stage I disease is 92% compared to a dismal 11% in stage IV disease. At initial presentation, up to 35% of patients have metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and 20–50% of stage II and III patients eventually progress to mCRC. These statistics imply both that there is a proportion of early stage patients who are not receiving adequate treatment and that we are not adequately treating mCRC patients.BodyTargeted therapies directed at CRC biomarkers are now commonly used in select mCRC patients. In addition to acting as direct targets, these biomarkers also could help stratify which patients receive adjuvant therapies and what types. This review discusses the role of RAS, microsatellite instability, HER2, consensus molecular subtypes and ctDNA/CTC in targeted therapy and adjuvant chemotherapy.DiscussionGiven the relatively high recurrence rate in early stage CRC patients as well as the continued poor survival in mCRC patients, additional work needs to be done beyond surgical management to limit recurrence and improve survival. Biomarkers offer both a potential target and a predictive method of stratifying patients to determine those who could benefit from adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Although overall survival for CRC patients has improved with earlier screening, survival continues to vary substantially across stages. Also, while the introduction of targeted therapies, including VEGF and EGFR inhibitors, has contributed to improving survival, better tools are needed to optimize patient selection and maximize therapeutic benefits. Emerging biomarkers can be used to guide pharmacologic decision-making, as well as monitor treatment response, clarify the need for adjuvant therapies, and indicate early signs of recurrence. This is a narrative review examining the current and evolving use of predictive and prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer. AREAS COVERED Areas covered include mutations of the MAPK (KRAS, BRAF) and HER2 pathways and their impacts on treatment decisions. In addition, novel methods for assessing tumor mutations and tracking treatment responses are examined. EXPERT OPINION The standard of care pathway for staging, and treatment selection and surveillance, of CRC will expand to include novel biomarkers in the next 5 years. It is anticipated that these new biomarkers will assist in decision-making regarding selection of targeted therapies and, importantly, in risk stratification for treatment decisions in patients at high risk for recurrence.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e30635. [PMID: 36181110 PMCID: PMC9524892 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000030635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) was closely related to the degree of pathological differentiation of tumors, and it's an important determinant of glioma pathogenicity. However, the molecular and pathological features of CIMP-positive glioma have not been fully elucidated. In addition, CIMP have been reported to be a useful prognostic marker in several human cancers, yet its prognostic value in gliomas is still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate gene mutations and pathological features of CIMP-positive glioma and explore the prognostic value of CIMP in gliomas. METHODS We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE for studies describing gene mutations, pathological features and overall survival of gliomas stratified by CIMP status. Odds ratios (OR), hazard ratios (HR), and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate the correlation between CIMP and the outcome parameters. RESULTS Twelve studies with 2386 gliomas (1051 CIMP-positive and 1335 CIMP-negative) were included. Our results showed that CIMP was more frequent in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1)-mutated gliomas (OR 229.07; 95% CI 138.72-378.26) and 1p19q loss of heterozygosis (LOH) gliomas (OR 5.65; 95% CI 2.66-12.01). Pathological analysis showed that CIMP was common in low-malignant oligodendroglioma (OR 5.51; 95% CI 3.95-7.70) with molecular features including IDH1 mutations and 1p19q LOH, but rare in glioblastoma (OR 0.14; 95% CI 0.10-0.19). However, CIMP showed no obvious correlation with anaplastic oligoastrocytomas (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.24-2.00) or oligoastrocytomas (OR 0.79; 95% CI 0.35-1.76). Concerning the prognosis, we found that CIMP-positive gliomas had longer overall survival (HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.97-0.16) than CIMP-negative gliomas. CONCLUSIONS CIMP could be used as a potential independent prognostic indicator for glioma.

Abstract
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) are well recognized as a major immune treatment modality for multiple types of solid cancers. However, for colorectal cancer (CRC), ICIs are only approved for the treatment of Mismatch-Repair-Deficient and Microsatellite Instability-High (dMMR/MSI-H) tumors. For the vast majority of CRC, that are not dMMR/MSI-H, ICIs alone provide limited to no clinical benefit. This discrepancy of response between CRC and other solid cancers suggests that CRC may be inherently resistant to ICIs alone. In translational research, efforts are underway to thoroughly characterize the immune microenvironment of CRC to better understand the mechanisms behind this resistance and to find new biomarkers of response. In the clinic, trials are being set up to study biomarkers along with treatments targeting newly discovered immune checkpoint molecules or treatments combining ICIs with other existing therapies to improve response in MSS CRC. In this review, we will focus on the characteristics of response and resistance to ICIs in CRC, and discuss promising biomarkers studied in recent clinical trials combining ICIs with other therapies.

Cytospin-A Regulates Colorectal Cancer Cell Division and Migration by Modulating Stability of Microtubules and Actin Filaments. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14081977. [PMID: 35454887 PMCID: PMC9026928 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14081977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary In this study, we report the effects of depleting cytospin-A (CYTSA), also known as the sperm antigen with calponin homology and coiled-coil domain (SPECC1L) protein, on the proliferation and migration of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Mutations in this protein have been previously linked to different developmental disorders. In our studies, depletion of CYTSA in various CRC cells led to significant decreases in proliferation, increases in cell death, and increased formation of multinucleated cells. Knocking down CYTSA also led to severe inhibition of CRC cell migration and invasion. These effects could be related to a significant decrease in the stability of microtubules and alterations in polymerized actin filaments in CYTSA depleted CRC cells. Our studies, for the first time, provide evidence suggesting that targeting CYTSA may be a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with CRC. Abstract Proteins that interact with cytoskeletal elements play important roles in cell division and are potentially important targets for therapy in cancer. Cytospin-A (CYTSA), a protein known to interact with actin and microtubules, has been previously described to be important in various developmental disorders, including oblique facial clefting. We hypothesized that CYTSA plays an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell division. The effects of CYTSA depletion on CRC cell proliferation were analyzed using cell growth assays, microscopic analyses of live and fixed cells, and time-lapse imaging. CYTSA depletion led to inhibition of cell proliferation, significant increases in CRC cell death, and accumulation of doublet cells during and following cell division. Depletion of CYTSA also resulted in strong inhibition of CRC cell migration and invasion. Mechanistically, CYTSA depletion resulted in significant decreases in the stability of microtubules and altered polymerization of actin filaments in CRC cells. Finally, bioinformatic analyses were performed to determine the correlation between CYTSA expression and survival of patients with CRC. Interestingly, a strong correlation between high CYTSA expression and poor survival was observed in the TCGA adenocarcinoma data set but not in an independent data set. Since inhibiting CYTSA significantly reduces CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, targeting CYTSA may be a potential novel therapeutic option for patients with metastatic CRC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Molecular pathological epidemiology (MPE) is an integrative transdisciplinary area examining the relationships between various exposures and pathogenic signatures of diseases. In line with the accelerating advancements in MPE, social science and its health-related interdisciplinary areas have also developed rapidly. Accumulating evidence indicates the pathological role of social-demographic factors. We therefore initially proposed social MPE in 2015, which aims to elucidate etiological roles of social-demographic factors and address health inequalities globally. With the ubiquity of molecular diagnosis, there are ample opportunities for researchers to utilize and develop the social MPE framework. AREAS COVERED Molecular subtypes of breast cancer have been investigated rigorously for understanding its etiologies rooted from social factors. Emerging evidence indicates pathogenic heterogeneity of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Presenting specific patterns of social-demographic factors across different molecular subtypes should be promising for advancing the screening, prevention, and treatment strategies of those heterogeneous diseases. This article rigorously reviewed literatures investigating differences of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status across molecular subtypes of breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease to date. EXPERT OPINION With advancements of the multi-omics technologies, we foresee a blooming of social MPE studies, which can address health disparities, advance personalized molecular medicine, and enhance public health.

Abstract
With the aging of the population, the incidence of colorectal cancer in China is increasing. One of the epigenetic alterations: CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) plays an important role in the incidence of colorectal cancer. Recent studies have shown that CIMP is closely related to some specific clinicopathological phenotypes and multiple molecular phenotypes in colorectal cancer. In this paper, the newest progress of CIMP colorectal cancer in chemotherapeutic drugs, targeted agents and small molecular methylation inhibitors are going to be introduced. We hope to provide potential clinical treatment strategies for personalized and precise treatment of colorectal cancer patients.
