RESUMO

GOALS: The aim of this study is to assess the spatial relationship between index and metachronous colorectal adenoma location. BACKGROUND: After the complete excision of a human sporadic colorectal adenoma, patients are at elevated risk of developing a further metachronous adenoma. Data regarding the occurrence site of a metachronous colorectal adenoma relative to the index adenoma are scarce. STUDY: Prospectively maintained databases were interrogated to identify all colonoscopies and adenoma excisions performed over a 10-year period at a single university teaching hospital. Data for the colonic segments at which adenoma removal were reported at index and all subsequent colonoscopies were extracted and 2 allied data sets merged. RESULTS: A total of 15,121 colonoscopies and 4759 polyp events were recorded. Four hundred fifty-two patients [296 male, 156 female, median (range) age 75 (32 to 100) y] developed at least 1 metachronous adenoma at follow-up colonoscopy. When single index events only are considered (ie, synchronous adenoma cases excluded), over 61% of metachronous adenomas were recorded in the same or an adjacent colonic segment. When the full span of the colon is considered, metachronous adenomas were more likely to occur in a section of the colon proximal to that of the index adenoma (41%±5%) than the same (39%±5%) or distal segment (20%±5%; P =0.006; 1-way χ 2 test). CONCLUSIONS: A metachronous human sporadic colorectal adenoma is more likely to be found in the same colonic segment to that of the index adenoma or 1 immediately adjacent. These data suggest a shared origin of metachronous adenoma with preceding lesions, supporting the existence of precancerous fields.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients with adenomatous colonic polyps are at increased risk of developing further polyps suggesting field-wide alterations in cancer predisposition. The current study aimed to identify molecular alterations in the normal mucosa in the proximity of adenomatous polyps and to assess the modulating effect of butyrate, a chemopreventive compound produced by fermentation of dietary residues. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in patients with adenomatous polyps: biopsy samples were taken from the adenoma, and from macroscopically normal mucosa on the contralateral wall to the adenoma and from the mid-sigmoid colon. In normal subjects biopsies were taken from the mid-sigmoid colon. Biopsies were frozen for proteomic analysis or formalin-fixed for immunohistochemistry. Proteomic analysis was undertaken using iTRAQ workflows followed by bioinformatics analyses. A second dietary fibre intervention study arm used the same endpoints and sampling strategy at the beginning and end of a high-fibre intervention. RESULTS: Key findings were that keratins 8, 18 and 19 were reduced in expression level with progressive proximity to the lesion. Lesional tissue exhibited multiple K8 immunoreactive bands and overall reduced levels of keratin. Biopsies from normal subjects with low faecal butyrate also showed depressed keratin expression. Resection of the lesion and elevation of dietary fibre intake both appeared to restore keratin expression level. CONCLUSION: Changes in keratin expression associate with progression towards neoplasia, but remain modifiable risk factors. Dietary strategies may improve secondary chemoprevention. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN90852168.

RESUMO

We report a technique for isolation and solubilization of intermediate filament (IF) proteins from colonic biopsies compatible with both gel electrophoresis and liquid chromatography "shotgun" proteomics using mass spectrometry (MS). This is important because changes in the IF proteome, particularly in keratin expression and modification, are noted in colonic mucosa of patients with colorectal cancer. Though keratins have traditionally been dissolved in high concentration of urea, the latter solvent precludes efficient proteolytic digestion by trypsin prior to gel-free LC-MS/MS approaches. The extraction of cytoskeletal proteins was initially evaluated using MCF-7 cancer cell lines using a published, differential detergent solubilization protocol. IF proteins were extracted from colonic biopsies using a combination of homogenization and sonication. Since comparable efficiency of solubilization was noted on the extracted IF from cell lines between urea and guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl) in triethylammonium bicarbonate buffer, isolated proteins from endoscopic biopsies were solubilized in GuHCl. Using immunoblotting techniques, we successfully demonstrated isolation of keratins and preservation of posttranslational modifications (phosphorylation, acetylation). Dissolved proteins were tryptically digested and peptides analyzed by MS, showing the functionality of the workflow in shotgun proteomic applications, specifically compatibility of the workflow for isobaric tagging relative and absolute quantification based quantitation approaches.
