Human blood cell transcriptomics unveils dynamic systemic immune modulation along colorectal cancer progression by Pedro J Romero, Mauro Delorenzi, Amaia Martínez-Usatorre, Laura Ciarloni, Noushin Hadadi, Eric Durandau, Sylvain Monnier-Benoit, Paolo Angelino, Victoria Wosika, Alessandra Jordano Conforte, Sara S Fonseca Costa, Hector Fabio Satizabal, Jérémie Despraz, Andres Perez-Uribe, Stephan Morgenthaler, Brian Hashemi, Sahar Hosseinian-Ehrensberger

“…However, the tumor-signal-dependent nature of this approach results in low sensitivity in precancerous and early CRC stages. Here we propose the host immune response to the onset of cancer as an alternative approach for early detection of CRC.Methods We perform whole transcriptome analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from individuals with CRC, precancerous lesions or negative colonoscopy in two independent cohorts using next-generation sequencing.Results We discover and validate novel early CRC RNA biomarkers. …”
