Transcriptome-wide in vitro effects of aspirin on patient-derived normal colon organoids: Impact of aspirin on colon epithelial transcription

Mechanisms underlying aspirin chemoprevention of colorectal cancer remain unclear. Prior studies have been limited due to the inability of preclinical models to recapitulate human normal colon epithelium or cellular heterogeneity present in mucosal biopsies. To overcome some of these obstacles we pe...

Description
Summary:Mechanisms underlying aspirin chemoprevention of colorectal cancer remain unclear. Prior studies have been limited due to the inability of preclinical models to recapitulate human normal colon epithelium or cellular heterogeneity present in mucosal biopsies. To overcome some of these obstacles we performed in vitro aspirin treatment of colon organoids derived from normal mucosal biopsies to reveal transcriptional networks relevant to aspirin chemoprevention. Colon organoids derived from 38 healthy individuals undergoing endoscopy were treated with 50μM aspirin or vehicle control for 72 hours and subjected to bulk RNA-sequencing. Paired regression analysis using DESeq2 identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with aspirin treatment. Cellular composition was determined using CIBERSORTx. Aspirin treatment was associated with 1,154 significant (q
