Chromosomal Instability?
- FCM Aneuploidy - Detects gross
chromosomal instability
- CGH - Detects clonal gains and losses
- f chromosomal regions
- FISH - Detects clonal and non-clonal
chromosomal abnormalities

Metaphase Comparative Genomic Hybridization in UC
39% (15/38) of diploid bx’s near dysplasia or cancer showed CGH detectable alterations
Performed in collaboration with
- F. Waldman, UCSF
Department of Pathology
Array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH)
Chromosomes replaced by ordered array of targets Karyotyping of metaphase spreads not necessary Greatly increased resolution

Morphology + DNA Ploidy + CGH Neoplastic Field: Larger Still
Department of Pathology
Non-Clonal Change in UC: Wider Field?
- DNA Flow & CGH detect clonally expanded
abnormalities only
- Larger fields of non-clonal instability?
Detectable in negative biopsies, even from rectum?
- Assessed by Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization
(FISH)?
Department of Pathology
UC FISH
Hypothesis:
UC progressors differ from UC non-progressors using non-clonal genomic instability biomarkers on single negative rectal biopsies
Department of Pathology
FISH
- Interphase nuclear suspensions placed
- n glass slide
- Locus specific probes (Chrom 8, 11, 17,
18) & centromeres (green and red)
- Red and green FISH spots counted per
100 nuclei

NGS miRNA bioclassifier of UC patients at increased risk of colon cancer
- Why miRNAs?
–Small size (~21nt) more stable, less ribonuclease degradation –Readily detectable in FFPE and stained slides –Important roles in immune regulation

UC Polypoid Dysplasia You’re dalmed if you do, and dalmed if you don’t Teri Brentnall,MD
Department of Pathology
Department of Pathology
Dysplasia in UC vs Adenoma
- No clinical features
- No endoscopic features
- No pathologic features
- No molecular tests
Department of Pathology
HOWEVER
- If the lesion can be demonstrably
completely removed endoscopically
- Has only Low-Grade Dysplasia
- There is no other dysplasia on
adequate sampling
- Then, careful follow-up may be
considered
Department of Pathology
UC Dysplasia Management
Continue Surveillance with adequate sampling: –Single site LGD while in surveillance –Indefinite of negative for dysplasia
Department of Pathology
UC Dysplasia Management
Consider Colectomy: –Multiple LGD sites –LGD on more than one endoscopy –LGD at initial colonoscopy –Excessive inflammatory polyps
Department of Pathology
Inflammatory Polyps
Department of Pathology
UC Dysplasia Management
Colectomy Indicated: –HGD –Endoscopically unresectable dysplastic lesion
Department of Pathology
Conclusions
- Molecular alterations are widespread in
UC, CD, CP, HP, HCV
- Single non-dysplastic bx alterations show
promise for reducing sampling error
- Paradigm for cancer in chronic
inflammatory disease
Department of Pathology
Further Work:
- Reproducibility
- Longitudinal analyses
- Prospective validation
- High throughput
- Reduced numbers of markers
- Mechanism: why progressors?
