ST6GAL1 is associated with poor response to chemoradiation in rectal cancer
Introduction
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death. Rectal cancer makes up a third of all colorectal cases. Treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer includes chemoradiation followed by surgery. We have previously identified ST6GAL1 as a cause of resistance to chemoradiation in vitro and hypothesized that it would be correlated with poor response in human derived models and human tissues.
Methods
Five organoid models were created from primary human rectal cancers and ST6GAL1 was knocked down via lentivirus transduction in one model. ST6GAL1 and Cleaved Caspase-3 (CC3) were assessed after chemoradiation via immunostaining. A tissue microarray (TMA) was created from twenty-six patients who underwent chemoradiation and had pre- and post-treatment specimens of rectal adenocarcinoma available at our institution. Immunohistochemistry was performed for ST6GAL1 and percent positive cancer cell staining was assessed and correlation with pathological grade of response was measured.
Results
Organoid models were treated with chemoradiation and both ST6GAL1 mRNA and protein significantly increased after treatment. The organoid model targeted with ST6GAL1 knockdown was found to have increased CC3 after treatment. In the tissue microarray, 42 percent of patient samples had an increase in percent tumor cell staining for ST6GAL1 after treatment. Post-treatment percent staining was associated with a worse grade of treatment response (p = 0.01) and increased staining post-treatment compared to pre-treatment was also associated with a worse response (p = 0.01).
Conclusion
ST6GAL1 is associated with resistance to treatment in human rectal cancer and knockdown in an organoid model abrogated resistance to apoptosis caused by chemoradiation.
