203 Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer worldwide. Around 30% present metastatic disease at diagnosis and 50%–60% of patients develop metastasis. New prognostic markers are needed and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a promising tool. Methods: Prospective study conducted by blood collection from 75 patients (pts) with metastatic CRC (mCRC), twice, with 2 months interval, together with image exams for therapeutic response evaluation. CTCs were detected by ISET and identified by immunocytochemistry. Results: The mean age was 57.3 years old (24-81). RAS mutations in primary tumor was found in 38% (19/50) of patients (pts) and left colon topography in 41.3% (31/75). Comparing the baseline CTC level (CTC1) with the level at first follow-up (CTC 2), pts with CTC2 – CTC1 > 5.5 per ml demonstrated poor progression-free survival (PFS) (3.2 months) when compared to CTC 2 – CTC1 ≤ 5.5 (9.1 months) (p= 0.005). The median overall survival (OS) was 24.5 months for pts with CTC 1 > 1.5 per ml and 34.2 months for those with CTC1 ≤ 1.5 per (HR=1.89, 95% CI, 1.01 to 3.52; p= 0.041). Patients with RAS mutation (P= 0.001), primary tumor in the right colon (p= 0.014) and expression of Multidrug Resistance Protein 1 in CTCs (p= 0.044) had worse OS. By multivariable analyses, CTC 1 > 1.5/mL (p= 0.025) was an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions: This prospective study confirmed that counts of CTCs at baseline (CTC1) is an important prognostic marker for monitoring mCRC and correlates with other established prognostic factors. Clinical trial information: NCT02979470.

Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a critical step in the metastatic cascade and a good tool to study this process. We isolated CTCs from a syngeneic mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a human xenograft mouse model of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). From these models, novel primary tumor and CTC cell lines were established. CTCs exhibited greater migration than primary tumor-derived cells, as well as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), as observed from decreased E-cadherin and increased SLUG and fibronectin expression. Additionally, when fibronectin was knocked down in CTCs, integrin B1 and SLUG were decreased, indicating regulation of these molecules by fibronectin. Investigation of cell surface molecules and secreted cytokines conferring immunomodulatory advantage to CTCs revealed decreased major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) expression and decreased endostatin, C-X-C motif chemokine 5 (CXCL5), and proliferin secretion by CTCs. Taken together, these findings indicate that CTCs exhibit distinct characteristics from primary tumor-derived cells. Furthermore, CTCs demonstrate enhanced migration in part through fibronectin regulation of integrin B1 and SLUG. Further study of CTC biology will likely uncover additional important mechanisms of cancer metastasis.
