Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease classified into four consensus molecular subtype (CMSs) with distinct biological and clinical features. This study aims to understand the value of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in relation to these CMSs. A total of 42 primary tumors, recurrences and metastases were used to develop PDXs. Detailed genetic analyses were performed on PDXs and corresponding patient tumors to determine relationship and PDX heterogeneity. Out of 42 tumors 22 (52%) showed successfully PDX engraftment, which was biased towards metastases and CMS1 and CMS4 tumors. Importantly, gene expression analysis revealed a clinical relevant association between an engraftment gene signature and prognosis for stage II patients. Moreover, this gene signature revealed an association between Src pathway activation and positive engraftment. Src pathway activity co-aligned with CMS4 and the levels of fibronectin in tumors and was confirmed by pSrc immunohistochemistry. From this analysis we further deduced that decreased cell cycle activity is a prognostic factor for successful engraftment and related to patient prognosis. However, this is not a general phenomenon, but subtype specific as decreased cell cycle activity was highly prognostic for recurrence-free survival within CMS2 but not in CMS1 and CMS4, while it showed an inverse correlation in CMS3. These data illustrate that CRC PDX establishment is biased toward CMS1 and CMS4, which impacts translation of results derived from pre-clinical studies using PDXs. Moreover, our analysis reveals subtype-specific features, pSrc in CMS4 and low Ki67 in CMS2, which provide novel avenues for therapy and diagnosis.

Description
Profiling project of a panel of tubular adenoma and serrated adenoma patient material collected in the Academic Medical Center (AMC) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The aim of the study was to compare the expression profiles of different types of colon cancer precursor lesions (tubular versus serrated adenomas) and determine their correspondence with a set of colon cancer patient-derived profiles that have distinct clinical outcomes.
Publication Title
Poor-prognosis colon cancer is defined by a molecularly distinct subtype and develops from serrated precursor lesions.

Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly heterogeneous disease both from a molecular and clinical perspective. Several distinct molecular entities, such as microsatellite instability (MSI), have been defined that make up biologically distinct subgroups with their own clinical course. Recent data indicated that CRC can be best segregated into four groups called Consensus Molecular Subtypes (CMS1-4), which each have a unique biology and gene expression pattern. In order to develop improved, subtype-specific therapies and to gain insight into the molecular wiring and origin of these subtypes, reliable models are needed. This study was designed to determine the heterogeneity and identify the presence of CMSs in a large panel of CRC cell lines, primary cultures and patient-derived xenografts (PDX). We provide a repository encompassing this heterogeneity and moreover describe that a large part of the models can be robustly assigned to one of the four CMSs, independent of the stromal contribution. We subsequently validate our CMS stratification by functional analysis which for instance shows mesenchymal enrichment in CMS4 and metabolic dysregulation in CMS3. Finally, we observe a clear difference in sensitivity to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis, specifically between CMS2 and CMS4. This relates to the in vivo efficacy of chemotherapy, which delays outgrowth of CMS2, but not CMS4 xenografts. This indicates that molecular subtypes are faithfully modelled in the CRC cell cultures and PDXs, representing tumour cell intrinsic and stable features. This repository provides researchers with a platform to study CRC using the existing heterogeneity.

Description
Profiling project of CRC patient material collected in the Academic Medical Center (AMC) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We focused on a set of 90 AJCC stage II patients that underwent intentionally curative surgery in the years 1997-2006 (AMC-AJCCII-90). Extensive medical records are kept from these patients and long-term clinical follow-up is available for the large majority. Both paraffin-embedded as well as fresh frozen tissue is available from all these patients for analysis.
