Introduction: In recent studies, methylation of FOXE1 in colorectal cancer has been reported as a diagnostic biomarker. In this study for the first time, the expression of FOXE1 and PTCSC2 in colorectal cancer was investigated and their expression patterns in two healthy and tumor tissues of patients were compared. Methods: In this study, 40 tumor tissues with colorectal cancer and 40 adjacent normal samples were collected. Total RNA was extracted and cDNA synthesis followed. Then, the specific genes for lncRNA PTCSC2 and FOXE1 were amplified. The results were statistically analyzed by Graph Pad Prism software and a T-test was used to compare the expression levels of lncRNA PTCSC2 and FOXE1 in the patients and healthy group; p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant difference criteria. Results: In this study, the FOXE1 expression level was significantly decreased in tumor tissue (p-value = 0.005), whereas the lncRNA PTCSC2 expression level in tumor tissue was not significantly changed (p-value = 0.65). In addition, the expression levels of FOXE1 and lncRNA PTCSC2 did not show a significant relation with disease progression and age of the patients. ROC curve for changes in FOXE1 and lncRNA PTCSC2 expression showed that theFOXE1 gene could be a relatively appropriate independent variable (p-value = 0.03) to differentiate between the two study groups. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, changes in FOXE1 gene expression were significantly reduced in tumor samples and can be used as a biomarker in tumor diagnosis in colorectal cancer.

Trp Genes

513 Background: Different factors are effective in the development of colorectal cancer (CC). With the discovery of that TRP (transient receptor potential) genes family is an important component of calcium channel, about 30 members of the family of TRP ion channel in mammals have been determined up to the present. TRP channels are associated with many pathological conditions like cancer and cardiovascular diseases as well as the physiological significance of them.. The aim of this study is to investigate TRPM, TRPV and TRPC gene expression levels in tumor tissues of CC patients and to analyze the relationship of expression in tumor tissue of colorectal cancer with other known prognostic factors. Methods: In this study, 93 CC patients whose follow-up and treatment realized in Medical Oncology Department of Gaziantep University Medical Faculty Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Level of TRP gene expression in paraffin blocks of normal and cancerous colorectal tissue samples of 93 patients were studied at the level of mRNA with real-time PCR. Results: From normal and cancerous colorectal tissues of 37 female and 56 male patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, expressions of TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPV5, TRPM4, and TRPC6 genes in tumor tissue were detected lower when compared to normal tissue (p < 0.05). When expression levels of other TRP genes in tissues were compared, any significant difference was not found (p > 0.05). There was no meaningful difference between prognostic factors and gene expressions of tumor tissues statistically (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Expression of many proteins in cancer cells compared to normal cells increases or decreases. In CC, TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPV5, TRPM4, and TRPC6 genes of which expression in cancerous tissue decreases may be thought as potential genes contributing to tumorigenesis. To verify this hypothesis, it should be supported with further studies.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer is known as the most common gastrointestinal cancers. As the age increases, the risk for this cancer also increases, so the only way to improve and hope for life in these patients is early diagnosis of the disease. So far, numerous molecular studies have been carried out on microRNAs in colorectal cancer. In addition, since some of them can be identified as cancer biomarkers. Therefore, in this study we have investigated the expression level of Mir-30d and Mir-181a as cancer biomarkers. Method: The changes of Mir-30d and Mir-181a expression levels in 60 colorectal tumor tissues and 60 adjacent tumor tissues, after RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis were surveyed using the Real Time-PCR method. Results: The results have reported a considerable reduction in the expression level of Mir-30d in tumor tissues, as well as a significant increase in the expression level of Mir-181a tumor expression in tumor tissues (P&lt;0.05). In addition, the correlation between Mir-30d and Mir181a showed that there was a significant difference between the level of expression of mir-30d with age and TNM stage of CRC (P&lt;0.05), whilst these correlations were not observed for Mir-181a (P&gt;0.05).

Circular RNA, a class of non-coding RNA, is a new group of RNAs and is related to tumorigenesis. Circular RNAs are suggested to be ideal candidate biomarkers with potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications. However, little is known about their expression in human colorectal cancer. In our study, differentially expressed circular RNAs were detected using circular RNA array in paired tumor and adjacent non-tumorous tissues from six colorectal cancer patients. Expression levels of selected circular RNAs (hsa_circRNA_103809 and hsa_circRNA_104700) were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction in 170 paired colorectal cancer samples for validation. Statistical analyses were conducted to investigate the association between hsa_circRNA_103809 and hsa_circRNA_104700 expression levels and respective patient clinicopathological features. Receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to evaluate the diagnostic values. Our results indicated that there were 125 downregulated and 76 upregulated circular RNAs in colorectal cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. We also first demonstrated that the expression levels of hsa_circRNA_103809 ( p < 0.0001) and hsa_circRNA_104700 ( p = 0.0003) were significantly lower in colorectal cancer than in normal tissues. The expression level of hsa_circRNA_103809 was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis ( p = 0.021) and tumor-node-metastasis stage ( p = 0.011), and the expression level of hsa_circRNA_104700 was significantly correlated with distal metastasis ( p = 0.036). The area under receiver operating characteristic curves of hsa_circRNA_103809 and hsa_circRNA_104700 were 0.699 ( p < 0.0001) and 0.616 ( p < 0.0001), respectively. In conclusion, these results suggest that hsa_circRNA_103809 and hsa_circRNA_104700 may be potentially involved in the development of colorectal cancer and serve as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

139 Background: PD-L1 expression has been reported in 40% of gastroesophageal cancers, but little data exists with regards to expression of other immune checkpoints. Here, we examined baseline expression levels for multiple immune modulators in 31 resected esophageal adenocarcinomas (EAC) and investigated the change in expression levels post-chemoradiation. Methods: Slides were stained on a Ventana BenchMark ULTRA automated stainer for CTLA-4 (Santa Cruz Clone F-8, dilutions 1:100) and PD-L1 (Dako clone 22C3 prediluted). Tonsil tissue was used as a control for lymphocytes, and a provided tumor control was used for PD-L1. Positivity was classified as > 1%, and the stained cell type was recorded (lymphocytes or tumor). Additionally, laser capture microdissection was performed, and RNA was isolated and pre-amplified to determine expression levels of TIM-3, GITR, IDO-1, LAG-3, CD-137, OX-40, and KIR-3 using RT-PCR. Gene expression was calculated using the ΔΔ -Ct method, and intergroup comparisons were performed and normalized against a cohort of 15 pathologically confirmed normal esophageal epithelium cases. Results: Post-chemoradiation cases demonstrated increased expression for PD-L1, when compared to matched pre-chemoradiation controls [p-value = 0.0098]. Similarly, all immune modulators profiled by gene expression were significantly upregulated in matched post vs. pre samples, except for CD-137. There was no significant difference in percentage of 4-fold or more upregulation based on PD-L1 status for IDO-1, OX-40, CD-137 and KIR-1, indicating that these markers may function independently of PD-L1 positivity. Conclusions: PD-1 inhibiton in both the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting is currently being investigated in EAC, but future studies may look to select patients according to personalized checkpoint expression patterns.

Purpose Decorin, p57(KIP2), and TGF-beta 1 have been investigated as prognostic factors because they appear to be associated with tumorigenesis; however, the effect of decorin and p57(KIP2) in lung cancer remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of decorin, p57(KIP2), and TGF-beta 1 in 64 lung cancer specimens and 36 normal lung specimens, and to analyze the relationships with respect to clinicopathological features and patient survival in lung cancer. Methods The expression levels of decorin, p57(KIP2), and TGF-beta 1 were examined by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Results Normal tissues exhibited a higher expression level of decorin than tumor tissues (P<0.05) and tumor tissues exhibited a higher expression level of TGF-beta 1 than normal tissues (P<0.05). The expression levels of p57(KIP2) and TGF-beta 1 were significantly associated with histological types of lung cancer (P<0.05), and the expression levels of decorin and p57(KIP2) were significantly associated with lymphatic invasion (P<0.05). Moreover, increased expression of decorin and p57(KIP2) correlated with increased survival (decorin, p=0.018; p57(KIP2), p=0.012). Conclusion Decreased expression levels of decorin and p57(KIP2) were associated with poor postsurgical survival time and lymphatic metastasis in lung cancer patients; moreover, low expression was an adverse prognostic factor.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second and third most common cancer in men and women respectively, and the fourth cause of cancer death of individuals. Mutations in specific genes can lead to colorectal cancer. UCA1 is one of the oncogenic genes that have been shown to stimulate cell proliferation. mTOR1 is another gene that leads to the growth of cancer cells through anabolic processes and autophagy inhibition. Objectives: In this study, we evaluate the expression of these two genes in different phases of CRC, that helps the early detection of colorectal cancer which can increase the survival rate. Methods: First, we collected 25 colorectal cancer tumor tissues and 25 adjacent normal tissues as a control group. Then, RNA was extracted from tissue samples and cDNA synthesized. The UCA1 and mTOR1 expression was evaluated in CRC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues by Real Time PCR. Results: Our results showed that the UCA1 and mTOR1 expression in the tumor tissues was significantly higher than in the adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.05). There was also a significant difference in Lynph inv and Vescu inv with mTOR1 expression (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results showed that UCA1/mTOR1 may be important genes involved in colorectal cancer. mTOR1 was also identified as one of the possible genes in metastasis of colorectal cancer. Thus, UCA1 and mTOR1 can probably be considered as biomarkers in CRC therapy and diagnosis.

Background: Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that get activated and stabilized in the heterodimerized form under hypoxic conditions. The three members of the HIF alpha factors share high structural similarity but have tissue-specific expression patterns. A majority of studies have reported the importance of the HIF1A and HIF2A activity in the survival, proliferation, metastatic potential, and metabolic regulation of hypoxic cancer cells. However, the importance of the expression pattern and activity of HIF3A in a variety of cancers remains unknown. Method and materials: The expression profile of 13 different types of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cancer samples were downloaded, normalized and differential gene expression analysis (DGE) was performed to compare the expression pattern of HIF alpha family members in cancer and adjacent normal tissues, as well as at different stages and tumor-sizes. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) test and survival analysis were carried out to estimate the diagnostic potential of HIF alpha isomers in different cancers, as well as the survival rate of patients with the varying expression levels of HIF alpha factors. Results: The expression status of HIF3A was notably less in all cancer samples in contrast to their adjacent normal tissues. The expression degree of HIF1A varied among distinct types of cancer and the expression degree of HIF2A was lower in nearly all types of cancers. The expression level of HIF alpha isomers did not significantly correlate with different sizes of tumor samples and stages of different tumor tissue samples. HIF3A had very weak diagnostic potential, while HIF2A had better diagnostic potential in most types of cancers compared to HIF1A. Patients who had a higher level of HIF3A had better survival, while the higher expression levels of HIF1A and HIF2A were associated with worse survival in many types of cancers. Conclusion: Our study shows the heterogenous expression pattern of HIF alpha subunits in distinctive kinds of cancers and the influence of HIF3A expression level in the survival of patients with varying types of cancers.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. Different factors are responsible for the development of CRC. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) which is an important component of calcium channel is associated with several pathological conditions like cancer, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Thirty members of the family of TRP ion channel in mammals have been determined till now. The aim of this study is to investigate TRPM, TRPV and TRPC gene expression levels in tumor tissues of CRC patients and to analyze the relationship of expression in tumor tissue of CRC with other known prognostic factors. Material and Methods: In this study, 93 CRC patients were included. The level of TRP gene expression in paraffin blocks of normal and cancerous colorectal tissue samples were studied at the level of mRNA with Real-time PCR. Results: The mRNA expression level of TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPV5, TRPM4 and TRPC6 genes in 37 female and 56 male patients diagnosed with CRC was revealed lower in tumor tissue as compared to normal tissue (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences of mRNA expression levels of other TRP genes were found. Conclusions: TRP gene family like TRPV3, TRPV4, TRPV5, TRPM4 and TRPC6 may be thought as potential genes contributing to tumorigenesis as their expression decreases in CRC as compared to normal tissues.

Background and Aim: The protein encoded by the SGO1 gene is a member of the shugoshin family of proteins and protects the centromere during mitosis. lncRNAs are non-coding RNA with 200 nucleotides lengths, i.e., involved in regulating gene expression. The current study aimed to evaluate the expression of SGO1 and SGO1-AS1 in different stages of disease progression; we also compared their expression pattern in tumor tissues with healthy tissues in colorectal cancer patients. Methods & Materials: In total, 40 tissue samples of patients with colorectal cancer were reported according to the examination and criteria with the approval of a pathologist. Besides, 40 normal tissues were sampled from a completely healthy part of the intestine of the same patients. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, the Real-time RT-PCR technique was used to evaluate the expression of the desired genes in the study groups. ROC curve analysis was also used to determine the ability of each selected gene to diagnose the disease. Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shahrekord Azad University (Code: IR.IAU.SHKREC.1398.020). Results The obtained data suggested that SGO1 significantly decreased in the colorectal cancer tumor samples (P<0.001) and SGO1-AS1 LncRNA significantly increased expression, compared to adjacent healthy tissues. Additionally, in the age group of below 60 years, compared to the age group of over 60 years, SGO1 expression increased and SGO1-AS1 expression decreased. Based on the AUC obtained from the ROC diagram, it was found that the SGO1 gene with AUC=0.8041 and SGO1-AS1 with AUC=0.6364 could significantly distinguish a healthy population from patients with colorectal cancer. Conclusion: According to the collected results, SGO1 -AS1 and SGO1 were significantly reduced and increased in tumor tissue, respectively; however, only the SGO1 gene was introduced as a good marker for diagnosing colorectal cancer.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to build protein profiles of untreated breast cancer patients of invasive ductal carcinoma grade II at tissue level in Pakistani population and to compare 2-D profiles of breast tumor tissues with matched normal tissues in order to evaluate for variations of proteins among them. Materials & Methods: Breast tissue profiles were made after polytron tissue lysis and rehydrated proteins were further characterized by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. On the basis of isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight, proteins were identified by online tool named Siena 2-D database and their identification was further confirmed by using MALDI-TOF. Results: Among identified spots, 10 proteins were found to be differentially expressed i.e.; COX5A, THIO, TCTP, HPT, SODC, PPIA, calreticulin (CRT), HBB, albumin and serotransferrin. For further investigation, CRT was selected. The level of CRT in tumors was found to be significantly higher than in normal group (p < 0.05). The increased expression of CRT level in tumor was statistically significant (p = 0.010) at a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05) as analyzed by Mann-Whitney. CRT was found distinctly expressed in high amount in tumor tissue as compared to their matched normal tissues. Conclusion: It has been concluded that CRT expression could discriminate between normal tissue and tumor tissue so it might serve as a possible candidate for future studies in cancer diagnostic markers.
