BACKGROUND: Generally, colorectal and high-grade appendiceal cancers are treated similarly; treatment approach is primarily based on tumor histology and stage of disease. Patients with adenocarcinoma of the lower gastrointestinal tract frequently experience diffuse metastases isolated to liver or peritoneum and have a poor survival. Identification of novel molecular pathways in metastases from these patients may identify novel targets and prognostic factors. METHODS: Microarray analyses of 20 metastatic tumors from patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma isolated to liver or peritoneum and eight high-grade appendiceal adenocarcinoma metastatic to peritoneum were performed using oligonucleotide microarray. RESULTS: In an unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis of 2-fold upregulated or downregulated genes, there was a clear site-specific segregation of liver versus peritoneal metastases. Genes primarily involved in metastasis, angiogenesis, cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation, and cell adhesion were distinctly altered between these two metastatic sites. Among the metastasis genes, the average expression levels of LI-cadherin, ALCAM, CD2, and CD14 were significantly higher in both metastatic sites. TIMP1 was overexpressed in both sites where as TIMP-2, IGF-1, and HIF-1alpha were upregulated only in peritoneal metastases demonstrating the potential benefit of metastasis site-specific treatments. Subsets of genes significantly associated with poor survival were defined, a RET proto-oncogene interacting gene, GOLGA5, was highly predictive for survival in patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that liver and peritoneal metastases of lower GI adenocarcinoma have distinct gene expression patterns; these distinctions may help in the development of therapies based on site of metastases.
