Modern proteomics has proven instrumental in our understanding of the molecular deregulations associated with the development and progression of cancer. Herein, we profile membrane-enriched proteome of tumor and adjacent normal tissues from eight CRC patients using label-free nanoLC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomics and advanced pathway analysis. Of the 948 identified proteins, 184 proteins were differentially expressed (P<0.05, fold change>1.5) between the tumor and non-tumor tissue (69 up-regulated and 115 down-regulated in tumor tissues). The CRC tumor and non-tumor tissues clustered tightly in separate groups using hierarchical cluster analysis of the differentially expressed proteins, indicating a strong CRC-association of this proteome subset. Specifically, cancer associated proteins such as FN1, TNC, DEFA1, ITGB2, MLEC, CDH17, EZR and pathways including actin cytoskeleton and RhoGDI signaling were deregulated. Stage-specific proteome signatures were identified including up-regulated ribosomal proteins and down-regulated annexin proteins in early stage CRC. Finally, EGFR(+) CRC tissues showed an EGFR-dependent down-regulation of cell adhesion molecules, relative to EGFR(-) tissues. Taken together, this study provides a detailed map of the altered proteome and associated protein pathways in CRC, which enhances our mechanistic understanding of CRC biology and opens avenues for a knowledge-driven search for candidate CRC protein markers.

Gastric cancer remains the most commonly-occurring cancer and the third most frequent cause of cancer-associated mortality in Japan. Solitary pulmonary metastasis of gastric cancer is rare and the outcome of pulmonary metastasectomy is still unclear. Herein we report the impact of pulmonary resection in patients with metastasis from gastric cancer. The present study retrospectively reviewed the preoperative data and clinical courses of 10 patients who underwent pulmonary resection for metastasis from gastric cancer at our institution between July 1986 and December 2017. The data on the outcomes, including morbidity, mortality and survival, were obtained from the patient records. All patients were followed-up from the time of pulmonary resection until mortality or referral to another hospital. The statistical analyses were performed using EZR (Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan), which is a graphical user interface for the R software program (The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). The study population included 7 male patients and 3 female patients. A total of 5 patients underwent total gastrectomy, and 5 underwent distal gastrectomy. The median disease-free interval after initial gastric resection was 34.5 months. Five patients received adjuvant chemotherapy, of the 10 thoracotomies, 5 were lobectomy, 3 were wedge resection and 2 were segmentectomy. The median overall survival following pulmonary metastasectomy was 59 months and the 5-year survival rate was 40.5%. Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that pulmonary resection may be an effective therapeutic option for metastatic gastric cancer when a patient has a solitary metastatic lesion.
