FAM83B is a novel biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Personalized therapy for non?small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly lung adenocarcinoma, has recently been significantly improved by the discovery of various molecular targets. However, this has not been the case for lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In the present study, we identified the family with sequence similarity 83, member B (FAM83B) as a candidate marker for SCC through a comprehensive gene expression analysis and examined its correlations with various clinicopathological factors. The subjects of this study consisted of 215 patients with NSCLC who underwent complete resection from 2005 to 2011 at the Fukushima Medical University Hospital (Fukushima, Japan). They included 102 patients with adenocarcinoma and 113 with SCC. FAM83B expression was first examined in some of the samples by gene expression analysis and western blotting, and then all clinical specimens were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The relationship between the quantitative values for IHC and clinicopathological factors was statistically analyzed. The results showed that FAM83B mRNA expression was significantly higher in SCC than in normal lung or adenocarcinoma (P<0.0001). Immunoblot analysis also confirmed this trend. Specimens containing >10% positive area for FAM83B were judged as 'positive'; 94.3% (107/113) of SCC and 14.7% (15/102) of adenocarcinoma were positive. Patients were divided into two subgroups according to expression (54 high?expression and 53 low?expression patients); the high?expression group was associated with a better disease?free survival (DFS) rate (P=0.042, log?rank test). In conclusion, FAM83B may be a reliable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for SCC. Detailed analyses of FAM83B function in lung cancer are required to understand how its expression is associated with better prognosis in SCC.

Project description:BackgroundLong intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are a series of novel transcribed regions expressed in cancers that may represent candidate biomarkers for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSqCC) treatment. In this study, we evaluated the lincRNA profile in LSqCC patients and screened valuable lincRNAs for diagnosis and prognosis.MethodsTranscriptome profiling of 549 samples derived from 501 LSqCC patients were identified in TCGA database. 48 patients had paired primary tumor (PT) and solid normal (SN) tissue samples, while 453 patients had only PT samples. 1,771 lincRNA candidates were evaluated. Paired test (Wilcoxon two-sample paired signed rank tests) was performed in paired PT and SN samples. Logistic regression analysis were performed in independent 453 PT samples and 48 SN samples to screen the significant lincRNAs candidates for malignances. Independent 501 PT samples were further used to screen the significant lincRNAs candidates for prognosis.ResultsAmong 1,771 lincRNAs, 10 lincRNAs were significant highly-expressed risk candidates in PT samples, and 10 protective lincRNAs candidates were significant lowly-expressed in PT samples. Among 10 highly-expressed risk lincRNAs, a small panel of LINC00487, LINC01927, and C10orf143 (LINC00959) could effectively predict malignancies in paired samples (AUC = 0.7274, 95%CI = (0.6264, 0.8285)). When combined with protective lincRNA candidates LINC02315, LINC00491, and LINC01697, the predictive efficiency was greatly improved in both paired samples (AUC = 0.8030, 95%CI = (0.7250, 0.8810)) and independent samples (AUC = 0.7481, 95%CI= (0.6642, 0.8320)). Additionally, three highly-expressed risk lincRNAs, LINC01031, LINC01088, and LINC01931, were significantly associated with poor prognosis in PT samples, suggesting potential targets for anti-LSqCC treatment.ConclusionTherefore, lincRNAs could be promising biomarkers for predicting malignancies and potential anti-LSqCC targets for drug development.
