Aspirin reduces the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC). Wnt signalling drives CRC development from initiation to progression through regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer stem cell populations (CSC). Here, we investigated whether aspirin can rescue these pro-invasive phenotypes associated with CRC progression in Wnt-driven human and mouse intestinal organoids. Aspirin rescues the Wnt-driven cystic organoid phenotype by promoting budding in mouse and human Apc deficient organoids, which is paralleled by decreased stem cell marker expression. Aspirin-mediated Wnt inhibition in ApcMin/+ mice is associated with EMT inhibition and decreased cell migration, invasion and motility in CRC cell lines. Chemical Wnt activation induces EMT and stem-like alterations in CRC cells, which are rescued by aspirin. Aspirin increases expression of the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) in CRC cells and organoids derived from FAP patients. We provide evidence of phenotypic biomarkers of aspirin response with an increased epithelial and reduced stem-like state mediated by an increase in DKK-1. Thus we highlight a novel mechanism of aspirin-mediated Wnt inhibition and potential phenotypic and molecular biomarkers for trials.
