Background: Barretts Oesophagus (BO) presents a particular pathological dilemma, in that patients who have no dysplasia within their BO experience a small but significant risk of malignant progression each year. Screening programmes have attempted to reduce the mortality from BO associated oesophageal adenocarcinoma but cannot predict which BO patients will progress to invasive malignancy. We have previously identified the long non coding RNA, OR3A4, is differentially hypomethylated in progressive BO. We aimed to understand its role in BO pathogenicity Methods: The stable BO cell line CP-A, as well as the oesophageal adenocarcinoma cells line OE-33 was transfected with a lentiviral OR3A4 over-expression vector, and underwent high resolution microscopy, immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, RNA sequencing, and targeted drug screening with the p38-MAPK inhibitor domipramod to understand the effects of OR3A4 expression on progression. We then compared progressive vs. non-progressive BO samples using quantitative multi-fluorophore (Vectra) immunohistochemistry. Results: Over-expression of OR3A4 in CP-A lines resulted in a hyperproliferative, dysplastic cellular phenotype, with strong over-expression of MAPK and anti-apoptotic pathways at the RNA and protein level, which was sensitive to the p38-MAPK inhibitor domipramod. Vectra immunohistochemistry demonstrated that progressive BO had reduced visibility associated with a reduction in CD8+ T-cells and CD68+ macrophages and reduced CD4+ T-cells in the stomal compartment. Conclusion: The overexpression of OR3A4, which we have previously shown is associated with progressive BO leads to a proliferative dysplastic cellular phenotype associated with increased, reversible MAPK signalling and loss of immune visibility.

Abstract. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) may be important in the pathophysiology of necrotizing vasculitis. ANCA activate human neutrophils primed with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in vitro. TNF-α priming results in translocation of ANCA antigens to the cell surface, where they are recognized by the antibodies. The signaling mechanisms involved in TNF-α priming and subsequent ANCA-induced activation were investigated. TNF-α-primed neutrophils were stimulated with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to human myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase 3 (PR3), and with preparations of human ANCA (three patients with PR3-ANCA and two patients with MPO-ANCA). Respiratory burst was measured with superoxide dismutase-inhibitable ferricytochrome C reduction and using dihydro-rhodamine-1,2,3. Phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were assessed by immunoblotting. ANCA-antigen translocation was studied by flow cytometry. The tyrosine phosphorylation inhibitor genistein, but not calphostin or staurosporin, resulted in a significant dose-dependent superoxide generation inhibition (11.6 ± 1.7 nmol to 2.1 ± 0.5 for PR3-ANCA, and 16.0 ± 2.8 to 3.3 ± 1.3 for MPO-ANCA). The p38-MAPK inhibitor (SB202190) and the ERK inhibitor (PD98059) diminished PR3-ANCA-mediated superoxide production dose dependently (11.6 ± 1.7 nmol O2- to 1.9 ± 0.6 with 50 μM SB202190 and 4.0 ± 0.6 with 50 μM PD098059, respectively). For MPO-ANCA, the results were similar (16.0 ± 2.8 nmol to 0.9 ± 1.0 nmol with SB202190 and 6.4 ± 2.4 nmol with PD98059, respectively). Western blot showed phosphorylation of both p38-MAPK and ERK during TNF-α priming. The p38-MAPK inhibitor and the ERK inhibitor showed the strongest effect on respiratory burst when added before TNF-α priming, further supporting an important role for both signaling pathways in the priming process. Flow cytometry showed that p38-MAPK inhibition decreased the translocation of PR3 (by 93 ± 2%) and of MPO (by 64 ± 2%). In contrast, no such effect was seen when ERK was inhibited. Thus, p38-MAPK and ERK are important for the TNF-α-mediated priming of neutrophils enabling subsequent ANCA-induced respiratory burst. However, both pathways show differential effects, whereby p38-MAPK controls the translocation of ANCA antigens to the cell surface.
