Discovering New Targets for Colorectal and Endometrial Cancer Risk Reduction
Discovering New Targets for Hereditary and Sporadic Colorectal and Endometrial Cancer Risk Reduction
Study Overview
Status
Detailed Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and endometrial cancer (EC) have a highly heritable component. Approximately 25% of CRC or EC patients have another first or second-degree relative who is also affected by CRC or EC, and there are at least 32 known high penetrance CRC/EC germline predisposition genes. The overarching goal of this protocol is to (a) discover novel mechanisms in intestinal carcinogenesis and genes inducing genetic predisposition, (b) identify new genes and proteins that are amenable to targeted therapy and precision prevention drug intervention and biomarker development in Hereditary Cancer Syndromes.
To accomplish these goals, we plan to pursue the following aims:
- Study the genomic and epigenetic profile of polyps and carcinomas arising in the upper gastrointestinal tract, lower gastrointestinal tract, normal mucosa from both locations, other GI organs, endometrium, and germline DNA of patients diagnosed with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and a sporadic CRC/EC cohort as a comparator and control.
- To determine the differences in gene expression and protein profiles between polyps and carcinomas arising in the upper gastrointestinal tract, lower gastrointestinal tract, normal mucosa from both locations, other GI organs, endometrium, and peripheral blood monocytes (PBMs) in patients with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and a sporadic CRC/EC cohort as a comparator and control.
- To identify molecular pathways that are preferentially deregulated in polyps and carcinomas of patients diagnosed with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and a sporadic CRC/EC cohort as a comparator and control that are amenable to therapeutic intervention.
- To assess different blood serum markers (e.g., peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and others and correlate these findings with tissue markers of patients diagnosed with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and a sporadic CRC/EC cohort as a comparator and control.
- To determine differences in microRNA (miRNA) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) profiles between polyps and carcinomas arising in the upper gastrointestinal tract and lower gastrointestinal tract, normal mucosa from both locations, other GI organs, endometrium, and PBMs in patients with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and a sporadic cohort CRC/EC as a comparator and control.
- To study the molecular alterations, epigenetic changes, copy number changes, gene expression and miRNA profiles and to establish pathologic correlates of the stem cells and other cellular populations of the intestinal crypts in carcinomas, adenomatous and normal intestinal epithelium biopsies, endometrial polyps and normal endometrium biopsies, through different molecular techniques.
- To validate the functional activity of the pathways identified in the human samples using animal model systems and basic molecular biology experiments.
- To develop organoids from adenocarcinomas, polyps, and normal intestinal mucosa samples in patients with Hereditary Cancer Syndromes and a sporadic cohort as a comparator and control. These organoids will be derived from tissue biopsies of different parts of the intestinal tract, other GI organs, and endometrium in order to perform assessment of drug sensitivity and molecular biology experiments to understand the biology and carcinogenesis of the intestine.
- To test the activity of drug agents using patient-derived xenografts in immune-deficient mice. The tissues used for the xenografts will come from patients diagnosed with CRCs, ECs, other GI organs, or polyps.
To accomplish these goals, we will obtain normal mucosa, polyp tissue and carcinoma (tumor tissue) arising in the upper gastrointestinal tract (mainly the duodenum, but also other potential locations such as the esophagus, GE junction, stomach, and small bowel), lower gastrointestinal tract (mainly the colorectum), paired normal mucosa samples, endometrial tissue, and blood and/or saliva as a source of genomic DNA, RNA, and protein.
The biospecimen samples will be collected in the context of standard of care (SOC) endoscopic procedure(s) and/or from pathologic specimens obtained during gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy procedures and surgery performed at Weill Cornell or New York Presbyterian Hospital, including diagnostic testing, clinic and/or treatment visit and/or from residual blood or tissues already collected by other protocols or archived by the Center for Advanced Digestive Care (CADC) biobank (IRB Protocol: 0908010582). These tissue samples and blood samples were collected in the context of routine care and procedures performed at Weill-Cornell and NYPH. Biospecimen samples will also be collected in the context of SOC transvaginal ultrasound, hysteroscopy and endometrium biopsy performed at Weill Cornell or New York Presbyterian Hospital, including diagnostic testing, clinic and/or treatment visit.
Blood samples will be collected at the time blood is taken for clinical care. We will register, collect, process and store frozen blood, frozen normal and diseased tissue and FFPE (formalin fixed paraffin embedded) specimens.
This will be an invaluable annotated hereditary CRC/EC registry and tissue repository that will be available to the Weill Cornell Community upon appropriate approval. Subjects that provide informed consent will agree to collection and storage of clinical data. For the purposes of this project, clinical data includes all data collected for standard clinical purposes (e.g., demographics, medical issues, prognostic data, treatment data, outcomes).
