Colon cancer is one of the top five cancers with the highest incidence rate in the world. In order to better understand the pathogenesis and progression of colon cancer, it is still necessary to investigate the abnormally expressed genes in cancer tissue. In this study, the Oncomine database was used for expression analysis, and it was found that the expression level of gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit delta (GABRD) gene was upregulated in colon cancer tissue compared with that in normal tissue. UALCAN was used to analyze the expression of GABRD in different groups of age, gender, cancer stage, N stage, and histological subtype. Then, it was also found that the expression of GABRD in each subgroup of colon cancer tissue was all high compared with that in normal tissue. LinkedOmics was used to screen out the differentially expressed genes related to GABRD expression in colon cancer. GO annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses found that the correlated genes may be related to breast cancer, human papillomavirus infection, Notch signaling pathway, and other pathways. Thereafter, GSEA was performed to obtain GABRD-related kinases, miRNAs, and transcription factors, and gene interaction networks were constructed. It was found that GABRD may be involved in cell cycle regulation. Finally, websites like GEPIA were used to detect the predictive ability of GABRD on the prognosis of patients with colon cancer. Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that the upregulation of GABRD expression was related to the poor prognosis of patients with colon cancer. Overall, in this study, the potential role and prognostic ability of GABRD in colon cancer were explored through data mining, which can be a clue for further research on GABRD.

e14098 Background: Neuropilin 2 (NRP2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, non-associated with kinase domains, implicated in neovascularization and metastasis of colon cancer. NRP2 has been proposed as a molecular marker for targeted cancer therapy based on its multiple functions in cancer promotion. NRP2 signaling pathway and its expression have been demonstrated in many carcinomas. To the best of our knowledge, no description of the immunohistochemical staining pattern of NRP2 in colon cancer has been published in the English medical literature. The aim of this study is to investigate the NRP2 labelilng pattern in colon cancer and correlate it with tumor stage. Methods: Tumor sections from 35 randomly selected colectomy specimens with colorectal cancer collected during the last three years were retrieved from the University of Toledo Medical Center Department of Pathology archival material. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded, 4 μm tissue sections containing invasive tumor were immunolabeled with a commercial antibody against NRP2, using a Ventana Benchmark LT automated instrument. Randomized, immunolabeled colon cancer tissue sections were blindly reviewed by two pathologists. Cytoplasmic and nuclear expression of NRP2 by tumor cells was graded as negative (no staining), focal (staining in <50% of cells), and diffuse (staining in ≥ 50% of cells). Adjacent benign colonic mucosa was used as an internal control. Results: No T1 or T2 tumor displayed diffuse nuclear labeling for the NRP2 epitope. In contrast, 13/20 T3 tumors (65%) and 4/4 T4 tumors (100%) displayed diffuse nuclear labeling. The association of diffuse nuclear NRP2 labeling with tumor grade was highly statistically significant (p=0.0055 by Chi-squared test). In contrast to nuclear labeling, cytoplasmic staining was observed in all stages and varied from negative to diffuse, but demonstrated no significant correlation with stage. Conclusions: This pilot study on colon cancer specimens suggests that diffuse nuclear immunolabeling of neuropilin-2 is indicative of a higher tumor stage. This finding suggests a potential use for this marker as a prognostic indicator for colon cancer in small biopsy samples.

In recent years spectral histopathology (SHP) has been established as a label-free method to identify cancer within tissue. Herein, this approach is extended. It is not only used to identify tumour tissue with a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 100%, but in addition the tumour grading is determined. Grading is a measure of how much the tumour cells differ from the healthy cells. The grading ranges from G1 (well-differentiated), to G2 (moderately differentiated), G3 (poorly differentiated) and in rare cases to G4 (anaplastic). The grading is prognostic and is needed for the therapeutic decision of the clinician. The presented results show good agreement between the annotation by SHP and by pathologists. A correlation matrix is presented, and the results show that SHP provides prognostic values in colon cancer, which are obtained in a label-free and automated manner. It might become an important automated diagnostic tool at the bedside in precision medicine.
