Abstract
Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) is defined as diagnosed at younger than 50 years of age and indicates a health burden globally. Patients with EOCRC have distinct risk factors, clinical characteristics, and molecular pathogenesis compared with older patients with CRC. Further investigations have identified different roles of obesity between EOCRC and late-onset colorectal cancer (LOCRC). Most studies have focused on the clinical characteristics of obesity in EOCRC, therefore, the mechanism involved in the association between obesity and EOCRC remains inconclusive. This review further states that obesity affects the carcinogenesis of EOCRC as well as its development and progression, which may lead to obesity-related metabolic syndrome, intestinal dysbacteriosis, and intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
The global prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus has increased in parallel with increasing cancer incidence, due to environmental and lifestyle factors and population aging. Metabolic diseases are associated with increased cancer risk, so a growing number of patients with cancer have coexistent obesity and/or diabetes mellitus. In this narrative review, we highlight recent evidence on the clinical impact of obesity and diabetes mellitus on the prognosis of prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer, and provide an overview of the underlying mechanisms. There is evidence that obesity is associated with increased risk of recurrence, and all-cause and cancer-specific mortality among adults with prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer. Diabetes mellitus is associated with increased all-cause and cancer-specific mortality for these 3 cancers, beyond any impact of obesity. Evidence also suggests increased risk of colorectal cancer recurrence in patients with diabetes mellitus. The underlying mechanisms are multifactorial and likely include hormonal imbalances and chronic inflammation that promote cancer cell growth. Obesity and diabetes mellitus are associated with increased risk of complications and side effects of cancer treatment. Associated comorbidities such as impaired kidney function, cardiovascular disease, and neuropathies may preclude the use of guideline cancer treatment and are competing causes of death. Cancer patients with metabolic diseases require a designated clinical program and a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, nutritionists, and physiotherapists, to ensure coordinated and optimized patient care.

Metagenomic and targeted metabolomic analyses reveal distinct phenotypes of the gut microbiota in patients with colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Chin Med J (Engl) 2023; 136:2847-2856. [PMID: 36959686 PMCID: PMC10686596 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000002421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 03/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), and the patients with CRC and T2DM have worse survival. The human gut microbiota (GM) is linked to the development of CRC and T2DM, respectively. However, the GM characteristics in patients with CRC and T2DM remain unclear. METHODS We performed fecal metagenomic and targeted metabolomics studies on 36 samples from CRC patients with T2DM (DCRC group, n = 12), CRC patients without diabetes (CRC group, n = 12), and healthy controls (Health group, n = 12). We analyzed the fecal microbiomes, characterized the composition and function based on the metagenomics of DCRC patients, and detected the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and bile acids (BAs) levels in all fecal samples. Finally, we performed a correlation analysis of the differential bacteria and metabolites between different groups. RESULTS Compared with the CRC group, LefSe analysis showed that there is a specific GM community in DCRC group, including an increased abundance of Eggerthella , Hungatella , Peptostreptococcus , and Parvimonas , and decreased Butyricicoccus , Lactobacillus , and Paraprevotella . The metabolomics analysis results revealed that the butyric acid level was lower but the deoxycholic acid and 12-keto-lithocholic acid levels were higher in the DCRC group than other groups ( P < 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the dominant bacterial abundance in the DCRC group ( Parvimonas , Desulfurispora , Sebaldella , and Veillonellales , among others) was negatively correlated with butyric acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, cholic acid and glycocholate. However, the abundance of mostly inferior bacteria was positively correlated with these metabolic acid levels, including Faecalibacterium , Thermococci , and Cellulophaga . CONCLUSIONS Unique fecal microbiome signatures exist in CRC patients with T2DM compared to those with non-diabetic CRC. Alterations in GM composition and SCFAs and secondary BAs levels may promote CRC development.

Abstract
Conventional drug discovery involves significant steps, time, and expenses; therefore, novel methods for drug discovery remain unmet, particularly for patients with intractable diseases. For this purpose, the drug repurposing method has been recently used to search for new therapeutic agents. Repurposed drugs are mostly previously approved drugs, which were carefully tested for their efficacy for other diseases and had their safety for the human body confirmed following careful pre-clinical trials, clinical trials, and post-marketing surveillance. Therefore, using these approved drugs for other diseases that cannot be treated using conventional therapeutic methods could save time and economic costs for testing their clinical applicability. In this review, we have summarized the methods for identifying repurposable drugs focusing on immunotherapy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive disease, which affects colorectal cancer (CRC) survival. However, data on the relationship between CRC survival and T2DM duration is scarce and controversial. A retrospective observational study was conducted. Sub-cohorts were created based on the duration of T2DM as follows, ≤ or > 5/10/15/20 years. 204 of the 817 (24.95%) included study participants had T2DM at any point of CRC. 160 of the 204 CRC + T2DM patients had detailed T2DM duration data. At the time of CRC diagnosis, 85, 50, 31, and 11 patients had T2DM for > 5/10/15/20 years, respectively, which increased to 110, 71, 45, and 17 during the course of the study. Despite constant glycated hemoglobin values throughout the study, shorter overall and disease-specific survival times were observed for the > 5/10/15 years cohorts and longitudinal survival modeling techniques confirmed the significant effect of T2DM duration in all cohorts. While in the first 3 years after CRC diagnosis, the best survival was found for the ≤ 5 years cohort, all diabetes cohorts had the same survival thereafter. T2DM duration affected CRC survival significantly, therefore, a closer follow-up of this sub-populations is suggested.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the influence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients performed primary surgery in terms of short-term and long-term outcomes. METHODS Patients diagnosed with stage IV CRC and received primary CRC surgery at a single clinical center from Jan, 2013 to Jan, 2020 were included in this study. Baseline characteristics, short-term and long-term outcomes were compared between the T2DM group and the Non-T2DM group. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to find risk factors for overall survival (OS). Propensity score matching (PSM) using a 1:1 ratio was used to minimize selective bias between the two groups. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (version 22.0) software. RESULTS A total of 302 eligible patients were enrolled, and there were 54 (17.9%) patients with T2DM, and 248 (82.1%) patients without T2DM. The T2DM group had more older patients (P < 0.01), higher body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.01), and a higher proportion of hypertension (P < 0.01) than the Non-T2DM group. After PSM, there were 48 patients in each group. There were no significant differences in short-term outcomes or OS between the two groups, either before or after PSM (P > 0.05). In multivariate analysis, older age (P < 0.01, HR = 1.032, 95% CI = 1.014-1.051) and larger tumor size (P < 0.01, HR = 1.760, 95% CI = 1.179-2.626) were independent factors for OS. CONCLUSION Although T2DM did not influence short-term outcomes or OS in stage IV CRC patients after primary surgery, age and tumor size might have predictive value for OS.

Abstract
More than 8000000 Germans suffer from diabetes. People with type-2-diabetes (T2D) are at increased risk of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas. They often develop cancer at younger age and their tumor-specific 5-year-survival is generally shorter. Cancer has become the leading cause of death of T2D-patients. Both chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance can stimulate gastrointestinal (GI) tumor growth. T2D can cause colorectal, pancreatic, hepatocellular, biliary and gastric cancer as well as esophageal adenocarcinoma. Both low-risk lifestyle and gastrointestinal cancer screening are effective and reduce GI cancer risk and GI cancer mortality of T2D-patients.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the short-term outcomes and long-term survival of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent curative resection. Methods This study retrospectively included 136 patients (T2DM group) with resectable CRC and T2DM from Jan 2013 to Dec 2017. Propensity score-matched control group consisting of 136 patients (non-T2DM group) were selected from 1143 CRC patients without T2DM. The short-term outcomes and prognosis were compared between the T2DM and non-T2DM group. Results A total of 272 patients (136 patients for each group) were included in this study. Patients in T2DM group had higher body mass index (BMI), higher proportion of hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases (P<0.05). T2DM group had more overall complications (P=0.001), more major complications (P=0.003) and higher risk of reoperation (P=0.007) when compared with non-T2DM patients. T2DM patients had longer hospitalization time than non-T2DM (20.7 ± 10.2 vs. 17.5 ± 6.2, P=0.002). As for the prognosis, T2DM patients had worse 5-year overall survival (OS) (P=0.024) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.019) in all stage. Moreover, T2DM and TNM stage were the independent predictors of OS and DFS for CRC patients. Conclusions T2DM increases overall complications and major complications, and prolongs the hospitalization time after CRC surgery. In addition, T2DM indicates the poor prognosis of CRC patients. A prospective study with large sample size is required to confirm our findings.

Abstract
Introduction We studied the predictive and prognostic influences of hypertension (HT), type 2 diabetes (T2D), weight, and p53 mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Patients and methods T2D was diagnosed according to the ADA criteria. HT was classified according to the ACC/AHA guidelines. BMI (body-mass index) was calculated and classified according to the WHO criteria. TruSigt™Oncology 500 kit was applied to construct the genomic libraries for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis. The Illumina NovaSeq 6000 technological platform and the Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 bioinformatics pipeline were applied to analyze results. Overall survival (OS) was calculated through Kaplan-Meier curves. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the relationships between clinical and/or molecular covariates. Associations between HT, T2D, BMI, p53, and clinical variables were evaluated by the χ2 test. P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results Two-hundred-forty-four patients were enrolled. One-hundred-twenty (49.2%), 110 (45.1%), and 50 (20.5%) patients were affected by overweight, HT, and T2D, respectively. DC (disease control) was achieved more frequently in patients without T2D (83.1%) compared to the diabetic ones (16.9%) (P = 0.0246). DC, KRAS mutational status, T2D, BMI, and concomitant presence of T2D, BMI, and HT associated with survival (P < 0.05). At multivariate analysis, age (≥65 vs. <65 years), response to first-line chemotherapy (DC vs. no DC), and concomitant presence of T2D, BMI, and HT (HR: 4.56; 95% CI: 2.40-8.67; P = 0.0217) emerged as independent prognostic variables. P53 was mutated in 31/53 analyzed cases (60.4%). The most frequent gene variants were p.Arg175His and p.Cys135Tyr. High BMI (>25 kg/m2) associated with occurrence of p53 mutations (P < 0.0001). P53 mutated patients presented a worse prognosis compared to the wild-type ones (HR: 3.21; 95% CI: 1.43-7.23; P = 0.0047). Conclusion Diabetic, hypertensive and overweight metastatic CRC patients are a negative prognostic subgroup deserving specific therapeutic strategies. P53 mutations associate with prognosis and BMI unrevealing complex and unexplored connections between metabolism and cancer occurrence.

Abstract
Diabetes and cancer are both common and increasingly prevalent conditions, but emerging epidemiological evidence confirms that the risk of developing a number of common cancers is increased in those with type 2 diabetes. The risk of cancer in type 1 diabetes is less clearly defined, and therefore this review will focus on type 2 diabetes. Emerging evidence also supports an influence of diabetes on outcomes of cancer treatment. However, this relationship is bi-directional, with cancer and its treatment impacting on glucose control, whilst there is also emerging evidence that diabetes care can deteriorate after a cancer diagnosis (summarised in Figure 1). Despite these clear links there is a lack of evidence to guide clinicians in how to manage patients with diabetes during their cancer treatment. Although recent UK guidelines have started to address this, with the development of guidance for the management of hyperglycaemia in cancer, there is a clear need for wider guidance on the management of multi-morbidity during cancer, including diabetes and obesity, to incorporate nutritional management We have therefore undertaken a narrative review of the evidence of links between type 2 diabetes and cancer incidence and outcomes, and discuss the challenges to diabetes care during cancer treatment.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungKrebs ist nun die führende Todesursache bei Typ-2-Diabetes mellitus (T2D). Prädiabetes und T2D erhöhen das Risiko für bestimmte Tumoren. Zu den Prädiabetes- bzw. T2D-assoziierten Malignomen zählen gastrointestinale, gynäkologische, urologische und endokrine Karzinome aber auch Leukämien. Prädiabetes und T2D bedingen eine 1,2- bis 2,7-fach erhöhte Krebssterblichkeit. Zugrundeliegende Mechanismen der Assoziation zwischen T2D und Krebs beinhalten die chronische Hyperglykämie, einen chronischen systemischen Entzündungszustand, oxidativen Stress, Dyslipidämie, die Insulinresistenz sowie chronisch erhöhte Spiegel von insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) und von Insulin. Eine dauerhafte Gewichtsreduktion kann das Krebsrisiko adipöser T2D-Patienten signifikant senken. Ein gesunder Lebensstil und die regelmäßige Teilnahme an Vorsorgeuntersuchungen sind wichtig und können die Krebsmortalität von Diabetespatienten erheblich verringern.

[PMID: 35071777 PMCID: PMC8760180 DOI: 10.1515/med-2021-0407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 11/05/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background A large variety of factors can affect colorectal cancer (CRC) survival, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and paraneoplastic thrombocytosis. Although several common factors play a role in their development and platelets are damaged in both diseases, the combined relationship of the three conditions was never investigated previously. Methods A prospective, real-life observational cohort study was conducted with the inclusion of 108 CRC patients and 166 voluntary non-CRC subjects. Plasma interleukin-6 and thrombopoietin levels were measured. Results Study participants were divided into cohorts based on the presence of T2DM. Platelet count (p < 0.0500) and interleukin-6 (p < 0.0100) level were significantly higher in the CRC groups. Thrombopoietin level was higher in the T2DM, CRC, and CRC + T2DM groups (p < 0.0500). Analysis of parameter changes over time and survival models revealed that neither platelet count, interleukin-6, nor thrombopoietin levels were affected by T2DM. Death of patients was associated with higher baseline platelet count (p = 0.0042) and interleukin-6 level (p < 0.0001). Conclusion Although the independent, disease-worsening effect of paraneoplastic thrombocytosis and T2DM is known, the coexistence of the two did not further impair the survival of CRC patients, suggesting that T2DM has no significant effect over paraneoplastic thrombocytosis.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the current study was to analyze the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the short-term outcomes and prognosis of stage I–III colorectal cancer (CRC) undergoing primary surgery. Methods Patients who underwent primary CRC surgery were retrospectively collected from Jan 2011 to Jan 2020 in a single clinical center. The short-term outcomes and prognosis were compared between T2DM group and non-T2DM group using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Results A total of 4250 patients were included in this study. There were 521 patients with T2DM and 3729 patients without T2DM. After 1:1 ratio PSM, there were 519 T2DM patients and 519 non-T2DM patients left in this study. No significant difference was found in baseline information after PSM (p>0.05). T2DM had higher overall complications (p=0.033) after PSM in terms of short-term outcomes. As for prognosis, T2DM group had worse overall survival (OS) in all stages (p=0.044), stage I (p=0.009) and stage II (p=0.021) of CRC and T2DM group had worse disease-free survival (DFS) than non-T2DM group in stage I (p=0.008) of CRC before PSM. However, T2DM did not affect the overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival (DFS) on different stages of CRC after PSM (p>0.05). Moreover, T2DM was not an independent predictor of OS or DFS (p>0.05). Conclusion T2DM increased overall complications after primary CRC surgery. However, T2DM might not affect OS and DFS of stage I–III CRC patients.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to analyze prognostic and genetic interactions between type 2 diabetes and metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients’ survival was depicted through the Kaplan–Meier product limit method. Prognostic factors were examined through the Cox proportional‐hazards regression model, and associations between diabetes and clinical‐pathologic variables were evaluated by the χ2 test. In total, 203 metastatic colorectal cancer patients were enrolled. Lymph nodes (P = 0.0004) and distant organs (> 2 distant sites, P = 0.0451) were more frequently involved in diabetic patients compared with those without diabetes. Diabetes had an independent statistically significant negative prognostic value for survival. Highly selected patients with cancer and/or diabetes as their only illness(es) were divided into three groups: (a) seven oligo‐metastatic patients without diabetes, (b) 10 poly‐metastatic patients without diabetes, and (c) 12 poly‐metastatic diabetic patients. These groups of patients were genetically characterized through the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (San Diego, CA, USA) platform and TruSigt™Oncology 500 kit, focusing on genes involved in diabetes and colorectal cancer. Gene variants associated with diabetes and cancer were more frequent in patients in group 3. We found that type 2 diabetes is a negative prognostic factor for survival in colorectal cancer. Diabetes‐associated gene variants could concur with malignancy, providing a rational basis for innovative models of tumor progression and therapy.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic features and survival in patients with both breast cancer (BrC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Between 1996 and 2019, patients who were diagnosed with both BrC and CRC were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with distant metastasis, palliative resection, and previous cancer histories except for BrCs or CRCs were excluded. Altogether, 105 patients were divided into the B=C group (n=21), B-first group (n=40), and C-first group (n=44) according to the definition of synchronous and metachronous cancers. The clinicopathologic features and overall survival were evaluated. Results TNM stages and histologic types were comparable among the 3 groups (P=0.434). The interval of diagnosis was 67.1±40.4 and 59.3±47.2 months in the B- and C-first groups, respectively. The incidence of adjuvant chemotherapy in the B-first group was 57.5%, which was higher than the B=C and C-first groups (P<0.001). The estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, Ki-67, and HER-2 molecular markers were not significantly different among the groups. The overall survival of the B-first group showed lower survival rates than the C-first group (P=0.039). In the logistic regression, HER-2 status (hazard ratio [HR], 11.9; P=0.032) and lymph node metastasis of CRC (HR, 5.8; P=0.036) were prognostic factors affecting overall survival. Conclusion B-first group had poorer survival outcomes than the C-first group in patients with the metachronous BrC and CRC. HER2 positivity and CRC lymph node metastasis may be prognostic factors that affect overall survival in these patients. The findings support that a colorectal cancer screening program should be included during BrC surveillance.

Oleic Acid and Insulin as Key Characteristics of T2D Promote Colorectal Cancer Deterioration in Xenograft Mice Revealed by Functional Metabolomics. Front Oncol 2021; 11:685059.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers with high mortality worldwide. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), known as a risk factor of CRC, can promote the deterioration of CRC, but the underlying mechanism is elusive. In this study, we aimed to reveal the relationship between CRC and T2D from the perspective of small-molecule metabolism. First, a list of common dysregulated metabolites in CRC and T2D was obtained by retrieving existing metabolomics publications. Among these metabolites, oleic acid (OA) was found to be able to promote the proliferation and migration of colon carcinoma cell HCT116. Further experiments proved that insulin could significantly strengthen this promotion and showed a synergistic effect with OA. Mechanism study found that OA and insulin acted synergistically through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2/c-Myc/cyclin D1 pathway. In addition, the combination of ERK1/2 inhibitor SCH772984 and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4/6 inhibitor palbociclib showed a remarkable inhibitory effect on tumor growth in vivo. Taken together, the current study found that OA plays an important role in CRC development by using a functional metabolomics approach. More importantly, insulin and OA were confirmed to synergistically promote the deterioration of CRC in vitro and in vivo via ERK1/2/c-Myc/cyclin D1 pathway. Our findings may shed light on CRC treatment among the T2D population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to analyze the change in T2DM on overall survival after CRC surgery. METHODS Patients who underwent CRC surgery were retrospectively enrolled from January 2013 to December 2019. The status of T2DM pre- and 1-year after CRC surgery was recorded, and predictive factors for T2DM remission and overall survival were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 296 patients were included in this study. Thirty-eight patients experienced remission of T2DM 1 year after CRC surgery, and the remission rate was 12.8%. Weight loss was significantly higher in the T2DM remission group (p = 0.038), and the T2DM duration was significantly shorter in the T2DM remission group (p = 0.015). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, higher weight loss (p = 0.046, odds ratio = 1.060, 95% CI = 1.001-1.122) and shorter T2DM duration (p = 0.019, odds ratio = 1007, 95% CI = 1.001-1.014) were predictive factors for remission of T2DM. Furthermore, in multivariate Cox regression analysis, lower TNM stage (p = 0.000, odds ratio = 2.147, 95% CI = 1.474-3.128) and T2DM remission (p = 0.033, odds ratio = 2.999, 95% CI = 1.091-8.243) were the predictive factors for better overall survival. CONCLUSION Patients with concurrent CRC and T2DM had a 12.8% remission 1 year after CRC surgery. Higher weight loss and shorter T2DM duration contributed to T2DM remission, and patients with T2DM remission could improve in terms of their overall survival.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common aggressive carcinoma types worldwide, characterized by unfavorable curative effect and poor prognosis. Epidemiological data re-vealed that CRC risk is increased in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its serum components (e.g., hyperglycemia). High glycemic index diets, which chronically raise post-prandial blood glucose, may at least in part increase colon cancer risk via the insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway. However, the underlying mechanisms linking IGF-1 and MetS are still poorly understood. Hyperactivated glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect) are considered as a one of six hallmarks of cancer, including CRC. However, the role of insulin/IGF-1 signaling during the acquisition of the Warburg metabolic phenotypes by CRC cells is still poorly understood. It most likely results from the interaction of multiple processes, directly or indirectly regulated by IGF-1, such as activation of PI3K/Akt/mTORC, and Raf/MAPK signaling pathways, activation of glucose transporters (e.g., GLUT1), activation of key glycolytic enzymes (e.g., LDHA, LDH5, HK II, and PFKFB3), aberrant expression of the oncogenes (e.g., MYC, and KRAS) and/or overexpression of signaling proteins (e.g., HIF-1, TGF-β1, PI3K, ERK, Akt, and mTOR). This review describes the role of IGF-1 in glucose metabolism in physiology and colorectal carcinogenesis, including the role of the insulin/IGF system in the Warburg effect. Furthermore, current therapeutic strategies aimed at repairing impaired glucose metabolism in CRC are indicated.
