Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for detecting a more aggressive form of a colon adenocarcinoma in a subject, thereby predicting the prognosis of the subject. The methods generally include determining an inflammatory gene expression signature in the colon adenocarcinoma and/or the adjacent non-cancerous tissue. In some embodiments, the inflammatory genes include, but are not limited to, PRG1, ANXA1, IL-17a, IL-23a FOXP3, HLA-DRA, IL-10, CD68 and IL-12a. In some embodiments, the method further includes detecting expression of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in the colon adenocarcinoma. Altered expression of one or more of the inflammatory genes or miR-21 indicates the prognosis of the subject. Also provided are arrays consisting essentially of probes specific for PRG1, ANXA1, IL-17a, IL-23a, FOXP3, HLA-DRA, IL-10, CD68, IL-12a and miR-21.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for determining the prognosis of a subject with an adenocarcinoma in an organ, such as the lung. The methods can include quantitating expression of a plurality of cytokines of interest, such as IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-2, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, IFN-? and TNF-a in the adenocarcinoma and in non-cancerous tissue in the organ. Altered expression of IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-2, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, IFN-? and TNF-a in the adenocarcinoma as compared to a control and in non-cancerous tissue in the organ as compared to a control determines the prognosis for the subject.
