Polymorphisms of homologous recombination genes and clinical outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with definitive radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT: The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is the major mechanism to maintain genomic stability in response to irradiation. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms in DSB repair genes may affect clinical outcomes among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with definitive radio(chemo)therapy. We genotyped six potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (i.e., RAD51 -135G>C/rs1801320 and -172G>T/rs1801321, XRCC2 4234G>C/rs3218384 and R188H/rs3218536 G>A, XRCC3 T241M/rs861539 and NBN E185Q/rs1805794) and estimated their associations with overall survival (OS) and radiation pneumonitis (RP) in 228 NSCLC patients. We found a predictive role of RAD51 -135G>C SNP in RP development (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]?=?0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31-0.86, P?=?0.010 for CG/CC vs. GG). We also found that RAD51 -135G>C and XRCC2 R188H SNPs were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (adjusted HR?=?1.70, 95% CI, 1.14-2.62, P?=?0.009 for CG/CC vs. GG; and adjusted HR?=?1.70; 95% CI, 1.02-2.85, P?=?0.043 for AG vs. GG, respectively) and that the SNP-survival association was most pronounced in the presence of RP. Our study suggests that HR genetic polymorphisms, particularly RAD51 -135G>C, may influence overall survival and radiation pneumonitis in NSCLC patients treated with definitive radio(chemo)therapy. Large studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Project description:BackgroundHomologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a well-known biomarker which could predict poly-ADP ribose polymerase 1 (PARP) inhibitor and platinum drug response. As an aggressive cancer, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is sensitive to platinum drugs, but relapse occurs rapidly. Herein, we aim to illustrate the genomic alteration patterns of homologous recombination repair (HRR)-related genes in a Chinese SCLC cohort and further analyze the relationship among HRR gene mutations and known biomarkers of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) response, including tumor mutation burden (TMB) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression.MethodsNext-generation sequencing (NGS)-based target capture sequencing of 543 cancer-related genes was performed to analyze the genomic profiles of 133 Chinese SCLC patients, and TMB was calculated. PD-L1 expression was evaluated in 90 out of 133 patients using the SP142 PD-L1 immunohistochemistry assay.ResultsAmong the 133 patients with SCLC, 47 (35.3%) had HRR gene mutations. ATM (8.3%) was the most frequently mutated HRR gene in the cohort, followed by NBN (4.5%). Pathogenic somatic and germline mutations of HRR genes were identified in 11 (23.4%) and 4 (8.5%) patients, respectively. HRR gene mutations cooccurred with KMT2D gene mutations. There were several differences in genomic alterations between patients with HRR gene mutations (HRR-Mut) and without HRR mutations (HRR-WT). The results revealed that TP53 and RB1 were commonly mutated genes in both groups. Mutations in the KMT2D gene and genes in the RTK-RAS pathway occurred more frequently in the HRR-Mut group. Furthermore, we found that mutations in HRR genes were associated with high TMB (Wilcoxon, p = 0.048), but there was no correlation of HRR gene mutation status with PD-L1 expression.ConclusionsWe exhaustively describe the genomic alteration profile of Chinese SCLC patients and provide further evidence that HRR gene mutations are prevalent in SCLC patients.
