[PMID: 37745715 PMCID: PMC10516576 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1214404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The relevant literatures in the field of pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor were analyzed to understand the lineage, hot spots and development trends of research in this tumor. Method The Web of Science core collection was searched for English-language literature about neuroendocrine tumors of the lung published between 2000 and 2022. CiteSpace software was imported for visualization analysis of countries, institutions, co-cited authors and co-cited journals and sorting of high-frequency keywords, as well as co-cited references and keyword co-occurrence, clustering and bursting display. Results A total of 594 publications on neuroendocrine tumours of the lung were available, from 2000 to 2022, with an overall upward trend of annual publications in the literature. Authors or institutions from the United States, Italy, Japan and China were more active in this field, but there was little cooperation among the major countries. Co-cited references and keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis showed that research on diagnostic instruments, pathogenesis, ectopic ACTH signs, staging and prognosis and treatment was a current research hotspot. The keyword bursts suggested that therapeutic approaches might be a key focus of future research into the field for pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors. Conclusion Over these 20 years, research related to neuroendocrine tumors of the lung has increased in fervour, with research on diagnostic instruments, pathogenesis, ectopic ACTH signs, staging and prognosis, and treatment being the main focus of research. Therapeutic treatments may be the future research trend in this field.

Magalhães M, Oliveira PD, Bittencourt AL, Farre L. Microsatellite alterations are also present in the less aggressive types of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2015; 9:e0003403. [PMID: 25590596 PMCID: PMC4295852 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0003403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2014] [Accepted: 11/07/2014] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a mature T-cell neoplasia etiologically linked to HTLV-1. Manifestations of ATL are diverse and different clinical types with different tissue involvement and aggressiveness have been described. The mechanisms that lead to the development of ATL clinical types have not yet been clarified. Considering that in ATL patients HTLV-1 infection generally occurs in childhood, a multistep carcinogenesis model has been proposed. Microsatellite alterations are important genetic events in cancer development and these alterations have been reported in the aggressive types of ATL. Little is known about oncogenesis of the less aggressive types. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study we investigated the role of the microsatellite alterations in the pathogenesis mediated by HTLV-1 in the different types of ATL. We examined the presence of microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozigosity (LOH) in matched pair samples (tumoral and normal) of 24 patients with less aggressive types (smoldering and chronic) and in aggressive types (acute and lymphoma) of ATL. Four microsatellite markers D10S190, D10S191, D1391 and DCC were analyzed. MSI was found in four patients, three smoldering and one chronic, and LOH in four patients, three smoldering and one acute. None of the smoldering patients with microsatellite alterations progressed to aggressive ATL. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the presence of MSI and LOH in the less aggressive types of ATL. These results indicate that microsatellite alterations may participate in the development of the less aggressive types of ATL.

GWAS-identified colorectal cancer susceptibility locus associates with disease prognosis. Eur J Cancer 2011; 47:1699-707. [PMID: 21402474 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2011.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2010] [Revised: 02/02/2011] [Accepted: 02/03/2011] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Extensive evidence has suggested that risk factors of cancer development may also modulate cancer clinical outcome. Recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) predisposing to colorectal cancer (CRC). Given the pivotal importance of these variants in CRC, we sought to evaluate their associations with clinical outcomes of the disease. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In a well-characterised cohort including 380 Chinese CRC patients, we genotyped seven SNPs identified in previous multi-stage GWA studies and analysed their associations with patient recurrence and survival. RESULTS One SNP on chromosome 15q13, rs4779584 was associated with reduced risk of death with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.33 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15-0.72, P = 0.007). Another SNP in a gene-desert region on chromosome 10p14, rs10795668, was associated with a reduced risk of recurrence with an HR of 0.55 (95% CI 0.30-1.00, P = 0.05). In a stratified analysis, this association was only evident in patients receiving chemotherapy (HR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.14-0.78, P = 0.01, log rank P = 0.004), but not in those without chemotherapy (HR = 1.08, 95% CI 0.43-2.73, P = 0.87, log rank P = 0.66). Moreover, we found that the effects of chemotherapy on CRC recurrence was only evident in patients with the variant-containing genotypes (HR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.13-0.94, P = 0.04) but not in those with the wild-type genotype of rs10795668. Further analyses indicated a borderline significant interaction effect (P interaction = 0.05) between rs10795668 and chemotherapy on patient recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that rs10795668, a CRC susceptibility variant identified by GWA studies, might be used as a biomarker to identify CRC patients with high risk of recurrence after chemotherapy.

Systematic search for enhancer elements and somatic allelic imbalance at seven low-penetrance colorectal cancer predisposition loci. BMC MEDICAL GENETICS 2011; 12:23. [PMID: 21314996 PMCID: PMC3045878 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2350-12-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2010] [Accepted: 02/14/2011] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ten chromosomal loci have been shown to predispose to colorectal cancer (CRC) in genome-wide association studies. A plausible biological mechanism of CRC susceptibility associated with genetic variation has so far only been proposed for three loci, each pointing to variants that affect gene expression through distant regulatory elements. In this study, we aimed to gain insight into the molecular basis of seven low-penetrance CRC loci tagged by rs4779584 at 15q13, rs10795668 at 10p14, rs3802842 at 11q23, rs4444235 at 14q22, rs9929218 at 16q22, rs10411210 at 19q13, and rs961253 at 20p12. METHODS Possible somatic gain of the risk allele or loss of the protective allele was studied by analyzing allelic imbalance in tumour and corresponding normal tissue samples of heterozygous patients. Functional variants were searched from in silico predicted enhancer elements locating inside the CRC-associating linkage-disequilibrium regions. RESULTS No allelic imbalance targeting the SNPs was observed at any of the seven loci. Altogether, 12 SNPs that were predicted to disrupt potential transcription factor binding sequences were genotyped in the same population-based case-control series as the seven tagging SNPs originally. None showed association with CRC. CONCLUSIONS The results of the allelic imbalance analysis suggest that the seven CRC risk variants are not somatically selected for in the neoplastic progression. The bioinformatic approach was unable to pinpoint cancer-causing variants at any of the seven loci. While it is possible that many of the predisposition loci for CRC are involved in control of gene expression by targeting transcription factor binding sites, also other possibilities, such as regulatory RNAs, should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) have identified common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mapping to 10 independent loci that confer modest increased risk. These studies have been conducted in European populations and it is unclear whether these observations generalise to populations with different ethnicities and rates of CRC. METHODS An association study was performed on 892 CRC cases and 890 controls recruited from the Hong Kong Chinese population, genotyping 32 SNPs, which were either associated with CRC in previous studies or are in close proximity to previously reported risk SNPs. RESULTS Twelve of the SNPs showed evidence of an association. The strongest associations were provided by rs10795668 on 10p14, rs4779584 on 15q14 and rs12953717 on 18q21.2. There was significant linear association between CRC risk and the number of independent risk variants possessed by an individual (P=2.29 × 10(-5)). CONCLUSION These results indicate that some previously reported SNP associations also impact on CRC risk in the Chinese population. Possible reasons for failure of replication for some loci include inadequate study power, differences in allele frequency, linkage disequilibrium structure or effect size between populations. Our results suggest that many associations for CRC are likely to generalise across populations.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have recently identified ten common genetic variants associated with colorectal cancer susceptibility, several suggesting the involvement of components of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) superfamily signalling pathway. To date, no causal sequence variants have been identified, and risk seems to be mediated through effects on gene regulation. Several markers are located close to poorly characterized genes or in gene deserts, raising challenges for elucidating mechanisms of susceptibility. Disease-associated common genetic variation offers the potential to refine risk stratification within populations and enable more targeted disease prevention strategies.

Abstract
To identify colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility alleles, we conducted a genome-wide association study. In phase 1, we genotyped 550,163 tagSNPs in 940 familial colorectal tumor cases (627 CRC, 313 high-risk adenoma) and 965 controls. In phase 2, we genotyped 42,708 selected SNPs in 2,873 CRC cases and 2,871 controls. In phase 3, we evaluated 11 SNPs showing association at P < 10(-4) in a joint analysis of phases 1 and 2 in 4,287 CRC cases and 3,743 controls. Two SNPs were taken forward to phase 4 genotyping (10,731 CRC cases and 10,961 controls from eight centers). In addition to the previously reported 8q24, 15q13 and 18q21 CRC risk loci, we identified two previously unreported associations: rs10795668, located at 10p14 (P = 2.5 x 10(-13) overall; P = 6.9 x 10(-12) replication), and rs16892766, at 8q23.3 (P = 3.3 x 10(-18) overall; P = 9.6 x 10(-17) replication), which tags a plausible causative gene, EIF3H. These data provide further evidence for the 'common-disease common-variant' model of CRC predisposition.

Abstract
To investigate whether the KLF6 gene plays an important role in the development and/or progression of colorectal cancers, we searched for mutations and allelic loss of the KLF6 gene in 123 colorectal adenocarcinomas by performing PCR-SSCP sequencing. We found five somatic missense mutations: S155N, G163S, G163D, P183L and G195S. Three of them affected the activation domain of KLF6 and four mutations were predicted to disrupt the putative phosphorylation sites. On LOH analysis, 63 cases were heterozygous for at least one marker and 27 cases (42.9%) showed allelic loss at these markers. These data further support that the KLF6 gene may be one of the candidate tumor suppressor genes in colorectal cancers and that genetic alteration of the KLF6 gene might play a role in the development of colorectal carcinomas.
