Colorectal cancers (CRCs) arise from precursor polyps whose cellular origins, molecular heterogeneity, and immunogenic potential may reveal diagnostic therapeutic insights when analyzed at high resolution. We present a single-cell transcriptomic imaging atlas of the two most common human colorectal polyps, conventional adenomas serrated their resulting CRC counterparts. Integrative analysis 128 datasets 62 participants reveals WNT-driven expansion stem cells, while derive differentiated...
The structure and function of the mammalian gut vary by region, yet why inflammatory diseases manifest in specific regions not others remains unclear. We use a TNF–overexpressing Crohn′s disease (CD) model (Tnf ΔARE/+ ), which typically presents terminal ileum (TI), to investigate how environmental factors interact with host′s immune susceptibility drive region–specific disease. identified Chlamydia muridarum , an intracellular bacterium murine counterpart human sexually transmitted C....
The tumor microenvironment plays a key role in the pathogenesis of colorectal tumors and contains various cell types including epithelial, immune, mesenchymal cells. Characterization interactions between these is necessary for revealing complex nature tumors. In this study, we used single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) to compare microenvironments mouse model sporadic adenoma (Lrig1 CreERT2/+ ;Apc 2lox14/+ ) inflammation-driven cancer induced by azoxymethane dextran sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS). While...
Abstract BACKGROUND The majority of Crohn’s disease patients present with ileitis or ileocolitis, however, the factors that drive development inflammation in these different sites remain elusive. TnfΔARE mouse model recapitulates many features and is driven by systemic overexpression TNF. AIMS To-date, published as a spontaneous intestinal specific to ileum, we observe severe colonic dependent on murine housing facility. We aimed use experimental approaches investigate epithelial microbial...
Abstract Background: Ki-67 has been increasingly used as a prognostic marker in spite of debates on the evaluation methods and inconsistent results its clinical values. CKAP2 is microtubule-associated protein which plays key roles microtubule assembly disassembly. In present study, significance CKAP2-positive cells was evaluated compared with positive cells. Methods: A total 579 early breast cancer patients who underwent surgery at National Cancer Center Hospital between 2001 2005 were...
Abstract Background Immune system has been known to influence the prognosis of breast cancer (BC). However, relationship between immune modulating factor (PD-L1) and tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) profiles in yet be revealed according subtypes. In addition, effects circulating cytokines on TILs have not addressed. Patients methods We investigated PD-L1 expression primary tissue by immunohistochemistry with clinical outcomes 253 patients who underwent surgery for early at National Cancer...
Abstract Purpose Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is known to be the second most frequent histologic subtype, occupying 10% of invasive breast cancer in Western countries. The present study was designed assess clinical characteristics and outcomes ILC compared general ductal (IDC) luminal A subtype (LA-IDC). Methods population included d 2916 patients with consecutively diagnosed at National Cancer Center, Korea between 2001 2008. clinicopathological were retrospectively reviewed. Results...
