BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) develops through chromosomal instability (CIN) or microsatellite instability (MSI) due to deficient mismatch-repair (dMMR). We aimed to characterise novel cancer-associated genes that are downregulated upon malignant transformation in microsatellite stable (MSS) CRCs, which typically exhibit CIN with proficient mismatch-repair (pMMR).
METHODS: Comprehensive screening was conducted on adenomas, MSI/MSS CRCs and cell lines, followed by copy number analysis, and their genetic and prognostic relevance was confirmed in microarray and RNA-seq cohorts (n = 3262, in total). Immunohistochemistry for SH2D4A was performed in 524 specimens of adenoma, carcinoma in situ and dMMR/pMMR CRC. The functional role of SH2D4A was investigated using CRC cell lines.
RESULTS: A set of 11 genes, including SH2D4A, was downregulated during the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in MSS/CIN CRCs, mainly due to chromosome 8p deletions, and their negative prognostic impact was validated in independent cohorts. All adenomas were SH2D4A positive, but a subset of CRCs (5.3%) lacked SH2D4A immunohistochemical staining, correlating with poor prognosis and scarce T cell infiltration. SH2D4A depletion did not affect cell proliferation or IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that downregulation of multiple genes on chromosome 8p, including SH2D4A, cooperatively contribute to tumorigenesis, resulting in the immune cold tumour microenvironment and poor prognosis.
