Lung adenocarcinoma global profiling identifies type II transforming growth factor-beta receptor as a repressor of invasiveness.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma histology and clinical outcome are heterogeneous and associated with tumor invasiveness.We hypothesized that invasiveness is associated with a distinct molecular signature and that genes differentially expressed in tumor or adjacent stroma will identify cell surface signal transduction and matrix remodeling pathways associated with the acquisition of invasiveness in lung adenocarcinoma.Microarray analysis of microdissected noninvasive bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) and invasive adenocarcinoma and adenocarcinoma-mixed type with BAC features identified transcriptional profiles of lung adenocarcinoma invasiveness. Among the signature set that was lower in adenocarcinoma-mixed compared with BAC was the type II transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) receptor, suggesting downregulation of TGFbetaRII is an early event in lung adenocarcinoma metastasis. Immunostaining in independently acquired specimens demonstrated a correlation between TbetaRII expression and length of tumor invasion. Repression of TGFbetaRII in lung cancer cells increased tumor cell invasiveness and activated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases. Microarray analysis of invasive cells identified potential downstream mediators of TGFbetaRII with differential expression in lung adenocarcinomas.The repression of type II TGF-beta receptor may act as a significant determinant of lung adenocarcinoma invasiveness, an early step in tumor progression toward metastasis.

Project description:BackgroundAutoantibodies against tumor associated antigens are highly related to cancer progression. Autoantibodies could serve as indicators of tumor burden, and have the potential to monitor the response of treatment and tumor recurrence. However, how the autoantibody repertoire changes in response to cancer treatment are largely unknown.MethodsSera of five lung adenocarcinoma patients before and after surgery, were collected longitudinally. These sera were analyzed on a human proteome microarray of 20,240 recombinant proteins to acquire dynamic autoantibody repertoire in response to surgery, as well as to identify the antigens with decreased antibody response after tumor excision or surgery, named as surgery-associated antigens. The identified candidate antigens were then used to construct focused microarray and validated by longitudinal sera collected from a variety of time points of the same patient and a larger cohort of 45 sera from lung adenocarcinoma patients.FindingsThe autoantibody profiles are highly variable among patients. Meanwhile, the autoantibody profiles of the sera from the same patient were surprisingly stable for at least 3 months after surgery. Six surgery-associated antigens were identified and validated. All the five patients have at least one surgery-associated antigen, demonstrating this type of biomarkers is prevalent, while specific antigens are poorly shared among individuals. The prevalence of each antigen is 2%-14% according to the test with a larger cohort.InterpretationTo our knowledge, this is the first study of dynamically profiling of autoantibody repertoires before/after surgery of cancer patients. The high prevalence of surgery-associated antigens implies the possible broad application for monitoring of tumor recurrence in population, while the low prevalence of specific antigens allows personalized medicine. After the accumulation and analysis of more longitudinal samples, the surgery-associated serum biomarkers, combined as a panel, may be applied to alarm the recurrence of tumor in a personalized manner.FundingResearch supported by grants from National Key Research and Development Program of China Grant (No. 2016YFA0500600), National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 31970130, 31600672, 31670831, and 31370813), Open Foundation of Key Laboratory of Systems Biomedicine (No. KLSB2017QN-01), Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality Medical Guidance Science &Technology Support Project (16411966100), Shanghai Municipal Education Commission-Gaofeng Clinical Medicine Grant Support (20172005), Shanghai Municipal Commission of Health and Family Planning Outstanding Academic Leaders Training Program (2017BR055) and National Natural Science Foundation of China (81871882).
