We compared gene expression in low and high-grade intraepithelial dysplastic polyps from pigs carrying an APC truncating mutation orthologous to human APC , analysing whole samples and microdissected dysplastic epithelium. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed differential expression of gene sets similar to human normal mucosa versus T1 stage polyps. Transcriptome analysis of whole samples revealed many differentially-expressed genes reflecting immune infiltration. Analysis of microdissected dysplastic epithelium was markedly different and showed increased expression in high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia of several genes known to be involved in human CRC; and revealed possible new roles for GBP6 and PLXND1. The pig model thus facilitates analysis of CRC pathogenesis.
我们比较了携带 APC 截断突变的猪的低级别和高级别上皮内瘤性息肉中的基因表达,分析了全样本和微切割的异型上皮。基因集富集分析显示,与人类正常黏膜与 T1 期息肉相比,基因集的表达存在差异。全样本转录组分析显示,许多差异表达的基因反映了免疫浸润。微切割异型上皮的分析明显不同,显示出几个已知参与人类 CRC 的基因在高级别上皮内瘤变中的表达增加;并揭示了 GBP6 和 PLXND1 的可能新作用。因此,猪模型有助于分析 CRC 的发病机制。
