Kinase Pathway

TheBRAFoncogene is an integral component of the MAP kinase pathway, and an activating V600E mutation occurs in 15% of sporadic colorectal cancer. This is an early event in serrated pathway tumourigenesis, and theBRAFV600E has been commonly associated with the CpG island methylator phenotype, microsatellite instability (MSI), and a consistent clinical presentation including a proximal location and predilection for elderly females. A proportion of theBRAFmutant lesions remain as microsatellite stable (MSS), and in contrast to the MSI cancers, they have an aggressive phenotype and correlate with poor patient outcomes. Recent studies have found that they have clinical and molecular features of both theBRAFmutant/MSI and the conventionalBRAFwild-type cancers and comprise a distinct colorectal cancer subgroup. This review highlights the importance of theBRAFmutation occurring in colorectal cancer stratified for molecular background and discusses its prognostic and clinical significance.

Molecular Carcinogenesis

Context.—Colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease entity with 3 molecular carcinogenesis pathways and 2 morphologic multistep pathways. Right-sided colon cancers and left-sided colon and rectal cancers exhibit differences in their incidence rates according to geographic region, age, and sex. A linear tendency toward increasing frequencies of microsatellite instability–high or CpG island methylator phenotype–high cancers in subsites along the bowel from the rectum to the cecum or the ascending colon accounts for the differences in tumor phenotypes associated with these subsites. The molecular subtypes of colorectal cancers exhibit different responses to adjuvant therapy, which might be responsible for differences in subtype-specific survival. Objectives.—To review the clinicopathologic and molecular features of the molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer generated by combined CpG island methylator phenotype and microsatellite statuses, to integrate these features with the most recent findings in the context of the prognostic implications of molecular subtypes, and to emphasize the necessity of developing molecular markers that enable the identification of adenocarcinomas involving the serrated neoplasia pathway. Data Sources.—Based on the authors' own experimental data and a review of the pertinent literature. Conclusions.—Because colorectal cancers arise from 2 different morphologic multistep carcinogenesis pathways with varying contributions from 3 different molecular carcinogenesis pathways, colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous and complex disease. Thus, molecular subtyping of colorectal cancers is an important approach to characterizing their heterogeneity with respect to not only prognosis and therapeutic response but also biology and natural history.

Abstract Background Molecular characteristics of CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) in colorectal cancer (CRC) have been well documented in Western, but not in Chinese, populations. Methods We investigated the incidence of CIMP, BRAF/KRAS mutation, and microsatellite instability (MSI) in a Chinese population with CRC (n = 401) and analysed associations between CIMP status and clinicopathological and molecular features. Results A total of 41 cases, 310 cases, and 40 cases were classified as CIMP-high, CIMP-low, and CIMP-negative, respectively. We detected a significantly low incidence of BRAF mutation in adenomas (2%) and CRC (0.7%), and a relatively low incidence of KRAS mutation (24.9%) compared with that in other populations. We also detected a relatively low incidence of CIMP-high (10.2%), which was significantly associated with younger age (≤49 years of age), female sex, and proximal tumour location. Conclusions This study revealed unique characteristics of CIMP in a Chinese population with colorectal cancer. Developing specific CIMP markers based on unique populations or ethnic groups will further help to fully elucidate CIMP pathogenesis.

New Treatments

Colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for about 10% of cancer-related mortality in western countries. Increasing ageing population, undesirable modern dietary and high-risk factors like smoking, obesity and low exercise. Chromosomal instability (CIN), CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), and microsatellite instability are the three different mechanism that give rise to CRC. It often grow slowly, and customarily doesn’t produce symptoms until reaching a substantial size of several centimeters, which can block the passage of feces and cause cramping, pain, or bleeding which can present as visible bleeding with bowel movements or, rarely, dark “tarry” stools. Most colon tumors develop via a several different processes involving a series of histological, morphological, and genetical changes that accumulate over time to time. New treatments for primary and metastatic colorectal cancer have emerged, like in variety of therapeutic process by preparing chimeric proteins that triggers the cells and stop it from getting severe.
