Frequency of driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma from female never-smokers varies with histologic subtypes and age at diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study revealed that 90% [47 of 52; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.79-0.96] of Chinese never-smokers with lung adenocarcinoma harbor known oncogenic driver mutations in just four genes EGFR, ALK, HER2, and KRAS. Here, we examined the status of known driver mutations specifically in female never-smokers with lung adenocarcinoma.Tumors were genotyped for mutations in EGFR, KRAS, ALK, HER2, and BRAF. Data on age, stage, tumor differentiation, histologic subtypes, and molecular alterations were recorded from 349 resected lung adenocarcinomas from female never-smokers. We further compared the clinicopathologic parameters according to mutational status of these genes.Two hundred and sixty-six (76.2%) tumors harbored EGFR mutations, 16 (4.6%) HER2 mutations, 15 (4.3%) EML4-ALK fusions, seven (2.0%) KRAS mutations, and two (0.6%) BRAF mutations. In univariate analysis, patients harboring EGFR mutations were significantly older (P < 0.001), whereas patients harboring HER2 mutations were significantly younger (P = 0.036). Higher prevalence of KRAS (P = 0.028) and HER2 (P = 0.021) mutations was found in invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA). The frequency of EGFR mutations was positively correlated with acinar predominant tumors (P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that older age at diagnosis (P = 0.013) and acinar predominant subtype (P = 0.005) were independent predictors of EGFR mutations. Independent predictors of HER2 mutations included younger age (P = 0.030) and IMA (P = 0.017). IMA (P = 0.006) and poor differentiation (P = 0.028) were independently associated with KRAS mutations.The frequency of driver mutations in never-smoking female lung adenocarcinoma varies with histologic subtypes and age at diagnosis. These data have implications for both clinical trial design and therapeutic strategies.

Project description:ObjectivesLung cancer in never-smokers is a distinct disease associated with a different genomic landscape, pathogenesis, risk factors, and immune checkpoint inhibitor responses compared to those observed in smokers. This study aimed to identify novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of programmed death-1 (encoded by PDCD1) and its ligands, programmed death ligand 1 (CD274) and 2 (PDCD1LG2), associated with lung cancer risk in never-smoking women.Materials and methodsDuring September 2002 and July 2012, we enrolled never-smoking female patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) (n=1153) and healthy women (n=1022) from six tertiary hospitals in Taiwan. SNP data were obtained and analyzed from the genome-wide association study dataset and through an imputation method. The expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was performed in both tumor and non-tumor tissues for the correlation between genetic expression and identified SNPs.ResultsA total of 12 PDCD1LG2 SNPs related to LUAD risk were identified in never-smoking women, including rs2381282, rs4742103, rs4237162, rs4742104, rs12237624, rs78096119, rs6476988, rs7857315, rs10975178, rs7854413, rs56001683, and rs7858319. Among them, six tagged PDCD1LG2 SNPs rs2381282, rs4742103, rs4237162, rs4742104, rs78096119, and rs56001683 were significantly associated with LUAD risk. Specifically, two PDCD1LG2 SNPs, rs12237624 and rs78096119, were associated with previous pulmonary tuberculosis infection in relation to LUAD susceptibility. Through an eQTL assay, we found that rs2381282 (p < 0.001), rs12237624 (p = 0.019), and rs78096119 (p = 0.019) were associated with the expression levels of programed death ligand 2.ConclusionsNovel SNPs of programed death ligand 2 associated with lung adenocarcinoma risk were identified. Among them, two SNPs were associated with pulmonary tuberculosis infection in relation to lung adenocarcinoma susceptibility. These SNPs may help to stratify high-risk populations of never-smokers during lung cancer screening.

Project description:IntroductionThe purpose of the study is to genomically characterize the biology and related therapeutic opportunities of prognostically important predominant histologic subtypes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).MethodsWe identified 604 patients with stage I to III LUAD who underwent complete resection and targeted next-generation sequencing using the Memorial Sloan Kettering-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets platform. Tumors were classified according to predominant histologic subtype and grouped by architectural grade (lepidic [LEP], acinar or papillary [ACI/PAP], and micropapillary or solid [MIP/SOL]). Associations among clinicopathologic factors, genomic features, mutational signatures, and recurrence were evaluated within subtypes and, when appropriate, quantified using competing-risks regression, with adjustment for pathologic stage and extent of resection.ResultsMIP/SOL tumors had higher tumor mutational burden (p < 0.001), fraction of genome altered (p = 0.001), copy number amplifications (p = 0.021), rate of whole-genome doubling (p = 0.008), and number of oncogenic pathways altered ( p < 0.001) as compared with LEP and ACI/PAP tumors. Across all tumors, mutational signatures attributed to APOBEC activity were associated with the highest risk of postresection recurrence: SBS2 (p = 0.021) and SBS13 (p = 0.005). Three oncogenic pathways (p53, Wnt, Myc) were altered with statistical significance in MIP/SOL tumors. Compared with LEP and ACI/PAP tumors, MIP/SOL tumors had a higher frequency of targetable BRAF-V600E mutations (p = 0.046). Among ACI/PAP tumors, alterations in the cell cycle (p < 0.001) and PI3K (p = 0.002) pathways were associated with recurrence; among MIP/SOL tumors, only PI3K alterations were associated with recurrence (p = 0.049).ConclusionsThese results provide the first in-depth assessment of tumor genomic profiling of predominant LUAD histologic subtypes, their associations with recurrence, and their correlation with targetable driver alterations in patients with surgically resected LUAD.
