Comparison of squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung by metabolomic analysis of tissue-serum pairs.

ABSTRACT: The prospect of establishing serum metabolomic profiles offers great clinical significance for its potential to detect human lung cancers at clinically asymptomatic stages. Patients with suspicious serum metabolomic profiles may undergo advanced radiological tests that are too expensive to be employed as screening tools for the mass population. As the first step to establishing such profiles, this study investigates correlations between tissue and serum metabolomic profiles for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) in the lungs of humans. Tissue and serum paired samples from 14 patients (five SCCs and nine ACs), and seven serum samples from healthy controls were analyzed with high-resolution magic angle spinning proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HRMAS (1)HMRS). Tissue samples were subjected to quantitative histological pathology analyses after MRS. Based on pathology results, tissue metabolomic profiles for the evaluated cancer types were established using principal component and canonical analyses on measurable metabolites. The parameters used to construct tissue cancer profiles were then tested with serum spectroscopic results for their ability to differentiate between cancer types and identify cancer from controls. In addition, serum spectroscopic results were also analyzed independent of tissue data. Our results strongly indicate the potential of serum MR spectroscopy to achieve the task of differentiating between the tested human lung cancer types and from controls.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. Exportins are closely associated with the cellular activity and disease progression in a variety of different tumors. However, the expression level, genetic variation, immune infiltration, and biological function of different exportins in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), as well as their relationship with the prognosis of patients with LUAD and LUSC have not been fully clarified.MethodsTo analyze the differential expression, prognostic value, genetic variation, biological function, and immune cell infiltration of exportins in patients with LUAD and LUSC, the ONCOMINE; UALCAN; Human Protein Atlas (HPA); Kaplan-Meier plotter; cBioPortal; Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING); Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID); Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER); and LinkedOmics databases were used in this study.ResultsThe transcriptional and protein expression levels of CSE1L and XPO1/5/6/7 were increased in patients with LUAD and LUSC, and the increased transcriptional levels of CSE1L and XPO5/6/7 were related to worse prognosis. An increased transcriptional level of XPO1 was associated with a better prognosis. These results indicated that CSE1L and XPO1/5/6/7 may be potential prognostic biomarkers for the survival of patients with LUAD and LUSC. Moreover, the high mutation rate of exportins in non-small cell lung cancer was 50.48%, and the largest proportion of mutations included high messenger RNA expression. The expression of exportins was significantly correlated with the infiltration of various immune cells. Differentially expressed exportins could regulate the occurrence and development of LUAD and LUSC by involving a variety of microRNAs and transcription factor E2F1.ConclusionsOur study provides novel insights into the selection of prognostic biomarkers of exportins in LUAD and LUSC.

Project description:Accumulating evidence indicates that immunotherapy helped to improve the survival and quality-of-life of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) or lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) besides chemotherapy and gene targeting treatment. This study aimed to develop immune-related gene signatures in LUAD and LUSC subtypes, respectively. LUAD and LUSC samples were divided into high- and low-abundance groups of immune cell infiltration (Immunity_H and Immunity_L) based on the abundance of immune cell infiltrations. The distribution of immune cells was significantly different between the high- and low-immunity subtypes in LUAD and LUSC samples. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between those two groups in LUAD and LUSC contain some key immune-related genes, such as PDL1, PD1, CTLA-4, and HLA families. The DEGs were enriched in multiple immune-related pathways. Furthermore, the seven-immune-related-gene-signature (CD1B, CHRNA6, CLEC12B, CLEC17A, CLNK, INHA, and SLC14A2) prognostic model-based high- and low-risk groups were significantly associated with LUAD overall survival and clinical characteristics. The eight-immune-related-gene-signature (C4BPB, FCAMR, GRAPL, MAP1LC3C, MGC2889, TRIM55, UGT1A1, and VIPR2) prognostic model-based high- and low-risk groups were significantly associated with LUSC overall survival and clinical characteristics. The prognostic models were tested as good ones by receiver operating characteristic, principal component analysis, univariate and multivariate analysis, and nomogram. The verifications of these two immune-related-gene-signature prognostic models showed consistency in the train and test cohorts of LUAD and LUSC. In addition, patients with LUAD in the low-risk group responded better to immunotherapy than those in the high-risk group. This study revealed two reliable immune-related-gene-signature models that were significantly associated with prognosis and tumor microenvironment cell infiltration in LUAD and LUSC, respectively. Evaluation of the integrated characterization of multiple immune-related genes and pathways could help to predict the response to immunotherapy and monitor immunotherapy strategies.
