    Abstract A recent paper demonstrates how tissue context impacts the breast cancer cell phenotype. Loss of the E-cadherin tumor suppressor protein enhanced cell invasion, but inhibited multiple steps in metastatic spread due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and induction of apoptosis.

    Abstract Colorectal cancers (CRCs) harbor accumulated defects in key signaling pathways that regulate cell phenotypes, including proliferation, survival, metabolism, and differentiation. To study the functional contributions of the accumulated molecular defects in CRC, we have developed approaches to inactivate selected tumor suppressor and/or activate oncogenes in mouse colon epithelium. Conditional inactivation of the CDX2 tumor suppressor protein in conjunction with oncogenic activation of the BRAF protein promotes development of serrated glandular benign and malignant tumors in the mouse colon. The mouse tumors share significant morphological and molecular relationships with the 8% to 10% of human CRCs that manifest serrated morphology at diagnosis. The gene and protein expression patterns in the mouse tumors have informed understanding of the relationships between benign and malignant human serrated colon tumors. Our findings are consistent with prior work suggesting that perhaps upwards of one-third of human CRCs may arise from a precursor lesion with serrated morphology rather than a conventional adenoma.

    Abstract Over the past three decades, molecular genetic studies have revealed some critical mutations underlying the pathogenesis of the sporadic and inherited forms of colorectal cancer (CRC). A relatively limited number of oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes-most prominently the APC, KRAS, and p53 genes-are mutated in a sizeable fraction of CRCs, and a larger collection of genes that are mutated in subsets of CRC have begun to be defined. Together with DNA-methylation and chromatin-structure changes, the mutations act to dysregulate conserved signaling networks that exert context-dependent effects on critical cell phenotypes, including the regulation of cellular metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Much work remains to be done to fully understand the nature and significance of the individual and collective genetic and epigenetic defects in CRC. Some key concepts for the field have emerged, two of which are emphasized in this review. Specifically, the gene defects in CRC often target proteins and pathways that exert pleiotropic effects on the cancer cell phenotype, and particular genetic and epigenetic alterations are linked to biologically and clinically distinct subsets of CRC.

    Abstract Administering adjuvant chemotherapy to stage II colon cancer patients is controversial due to limited benefit observed for this subpopulation. Recently, Dalerba et al. (2016) identified a subgroup of stage II patients that might benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy based on lack of CDX2 expression in their cancer stem cells.

    Abstract Objectives: The "incessant ovulation" hypothesis links increased risk for tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) due to more ovulations and reduced risk conferred by pre-menopausal exposures like oral contraceptive use, multiparity, and breastfeeding. However, most women diagnosed with HGSC are postmenopausal, implying age is a major risk factor for HGSC. Our mouse model for HGSC, based on tamoxifen (TAM)-induced somatic inactivation of the Brca1, Trp53, Rb1, and Nf1 (BPRN) tumor suppressor genes in oviductal epithelium, recapitulates key genetic, histopathologic, and biological features of human HGSCs. We aimed to credential the model for future efforts to define biological and risk modification factors in HGSC pathogenesis.
    Methods: BPRN mice were treated with TAM to induce tumors at defined ages and parity status.
    Results: BPRN mice aged 9-months prior to tumor induction had markedly shorter survival than 6-8 week old mice induced to form tumors (median 46.5 weeks versus 61.5 weeks, log-rank test P = 0.0006). No significant differences in cancer phenotypes were observed between multiparous versus nulliparous BPRN mice. However, using a modified tumor model with one wild-type Nf1 allele (BPRN
    Conclusions: Our findings show aging is associated with significantly shortened survival post tumor induction in the BRPN model and multiparity delays development and/or progression of HGSC in certain genetic contexts. The findings support relevance of our mouse model to gain mechanistic insights into how known factors exert their protective effects and to test novel approaches for HGSC prevention.

    Abstract Genetic alternations resulting in constitutive stabilization of beta-catenin and altered transcription of beta-catenin/TCF-regulated genes are found in many cancers. A recent Nature paper offers insights into the role of tankyrase in regulating the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and suggests that compounds targeting tankyrase's poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation) activity may hold promise for cancer therapy.

    Abstract Mutations in the APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene, which encodes a multi-functional protein with a well-defined role in the canonical Wnt pathway, underlie familial adenomatous polypsosis, a rare, inherited form of colorectal cancer (CRC) and contribute to the majority of sporadic CRCs. However, not all sporadic and familial CRCs can be explained by mutations in APC or other genes with well-established roles in CRC. The AXIN1 and AXIN2 proteins function in the canonical Wnt pathway, and AXIN1/2 alterations have been proposed as key defects in some cancers. Here, we review AXIN1 and AXIN2 sequence alterations reported in gastrointestinal cancers, with the goal of vetting the evidence that some of the variants may have key functional roles in cancer development.
