Stromal cells play a central role in promoting the progression of colorectal cancer. Here we analyze molecular changes within the epithelial and stromal compartments of dysplastic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) formed in the ascending colon, where rapidly developing interval cancers occur. We found strong activation of numerous neutrophil/monocyte chemokines, consistent with localized inflammation. The data also indicated a decrease in interferon signaling and cell-based immunity. The immune checkpoint and T cell exhaustion gene PDCD1 was one of the most significantly up-regulated genes, which was accompanied by a decrease in cytotoxic T cell effector gene expression. Additionally, CDKN2A expression was strongly up-regulated in the stroma and down-regulated in the epithelium, consistent with diverse changes in senescence-associated signaling on the two tissue compartments. Decreased CD8 T cell infiltration within proximal colon ACF occurs within the context of a robust inflammatory response and potential stromal cell senescence, thus providing new insight into potential promotional drivers for tumors in the proximal colon.
