Project description:BackgroundAlthough early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is considered a potentially curable disease following complete resection, patients have a wide spectrum of survival according to stage (IB, II, IIIA). Within each stage, gene expression profiles can identify patients with a higher risk of recurrence. We hypothesized that altered mRNA expression in nine genes could help to predict disease outcome: excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1), myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) and Twist1 (which regulate N-cadherin expression), ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1), thioredoxin-1 (TRX1), tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1), nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), BRCA1, and the human homolog of yeast budding uninhibited by benzimidazole (BubR1).Methodology and principal findingsWe performed real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) in frozen lung cancer tissue specimens from 126 chemonaive NSCLC patients who had undergone surgical resection and evaluated the association between gene expression levels and survival. For validation, we used paraffin-embedded specimens from 58 other NSCLC patients. A strong inter-gene correlation was observed between expression levels of all genes except NFAT. A Cox proportional hazards model indicated that along with disease stage, BRCA1 mRNA expression significantly correlated with overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.98 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11-6]; P = 0.02). In the independent cohort of 58 patients, BRCA1 mRNA expression also significantly correlated with survival (HR, 2.4 [95%CI, 1.01-5.92]; P = 0.04).ConclusionsOverexpression of BRCA1 mRNA was strongly associated with poor survival in NSCLC patients, and the validation of this finding in an independent data set further strengthened this association. Since BRCA1 mRNA expression has previously been linked to differential sensitivity to cisplatin and antimicrotubule drugs, BRCA1 mRNA expression may provide additional information for customizing adjuvant antimicrotubule-based chemotherapy, especially in stage IB, where the role of adjuvant chemotherapy has not been clearly demonstrated.

Project description:BackgroundCure and long-term survival for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains hard to achieve. Cellular senescence, an emerging hallmark of cancer, is considered as an endogenous tumor suppressor mechanism. However, senescent cancer cells can paradoxically affect the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME), ultimately leading to cancer relapse and metastasis. As such, the role of cellular senescence in cancer is highly controversial.MethodsIn 155 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from surgically resected NSCLC patients with pathological tumor-node-metastasis (pTNM) stages I-IV (8th edition), cellular senescence was assessed using a combination of four immunohistochemical senescence markers, i.e., lipofuscin, p16INK4a, p21WAF1/Cip1 and Ki67, and correlated to clinicopathological parameters and outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsA tumoral senescence signature (SS) was present in 48 out of 155 NSCLC patients, but did not correlate to any clinicopathological parameter, except for p53 mutation status. In a histologically homogenous patient cohort of 100 patients who fulfilled the following criteria: (I) one type of histology, i.e., adenocarcinoma, (II) without known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, (III) curative (R0) resection and (IV) no neoadjuvant systemic therapy or radiotherapy, the median OS and DFS for patients with a tumoral SS (n=30, 30.0%) compared to patients without a tumoral SS (n=70, 70.0%) was 53 versus 141 months (P=0.005) and 45 versus 55 months (P=0.25), respectively. In multiple Cox proportional hazards (Cox PH) model analysis correcting for age, pTNM stage I-III and adjuvant therapy, a tumoral SS remained a significant prognostic factor for OS (HR =2.03; P=0.014).ConclusionsThe presence of a tumoral SS particularly based on high p16INK4a expression significantly affects OS in NSCLC adenocarcinoma. In this light, adjuvant senolytic therapy could be an interesting strategy for NSCLC patients harboring a tumoral SS, ultimately to improve survival of these patients.

Project description:Protein signals obtained directly from frozen lung tissue sections using MALDI-MS were used to predict nodal involvement and survival in resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We have identified a list of these protein signals and further evaluated their prognostic values for NSCLC using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess the mortality risk associated with the prognostic protein IHC-staining intensities. The combined IHC scores of calmodulin, thymosin β4, and thymosin β10 were found to be correlated with NSCLC patient survival (p = 0.004). Furthermore, low cofilin-1 IHC-staining intensity was found to be correlated with a better outcome for patients with negative lymph node status (p = 0.006) while high cofilin-1 IHC-staining intensity was found to be correlated with a better outcome for patients with positive node status (p = 0.034). In conclusion, the prognostic protein signals selected using MALDI-MS can be identified and tested by IHC in formalin-fixed tissue samples. MALDI-MS-derived protein signals can be potentially translated to a conventional clinical setting to aid in the prognosis of patients with NSCLC at the molecular level.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To determine the use of the mucin proteins MUC5B and MUC5AC as prognosis markers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. SETTING:Patients who underwent surgical resection at Nagasaki University Hospital and related facilities in Japan between June 1996 and March 2013. PARTICIPANT:159 Japanese patients (male: n=103; female: n=56) with NSCLC, who underwent surgical resection (EGFR-mutant type: n=78, EGFR wild type: n=81). RESULTS:Patients whose tumours expressed MUC5B had significantly longer overall survival and relapse-free survival compared to the MUC5B-negative patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC (p=0.0098 and p=0.0187, respectively). In patients with EGFR wild-type NSCLC, there was no association with MUC5B expression. MUC5AC expression was not different between EGFR mutant and wild-type NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS:Present findings indicate that MUC5B, but not MUC5AC, is a novel prognostic biomarker for patients with NSCLC carrying EGFR mutations but not for patients with NSCLC carrying wild-type EGFR.

Project description:Background: The JBR.10 trial demonstrated significant survival benefit from adjuvant cisplatin/vinorelbine (ACT) in stage IB-II NSCLC (HR 0.69, p=0.04), but stage IB patients did not derive significant benefit (HR: 0.94, p= 0.79). We hypothesized that expression profiling could identify stage-independent subgroups of patients who might benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: Gene expression profiling was conducted on mRNA isolated from frozen JBR.10 tumor samples (either from patients under observation [OBS], or treated with ACT). The minimum gene set that selected for the greatest separation of good and poor prognosis patient subgroups in OBS patients was identified and this gene signature was used to classify patients into high and low risk for death after surgery, and predict ACT effect. The prognostic gene signature was additionally tested on ACT patients and publicly available microarray datasets. Results: A 15-gene signature separated OBS patients into equal high and low risk subgroups with significantly different prognoses (HR 15.02, 95% CI 5.12-44.04, p=0.0001). The signature was prognostic in both stage IB and II. It was also predictive of improved survival following ACT treatment in high-risk patients (HR 0.33, 95% CI 0.17-0.63, p=0.0005), but not in low risk patients (HR 3.67, 95% CI 1.22-11.06, p=0.0133; interaction p=0.0001). The prognostic effect of the signature was validated in two independent gene expression datasets of 169 stage I-II adenocarcinoma and 106 squamous cell carcinoma patients. Conclusions: This microarray-based 15-gene prognostic expression signature is stage and histology independent and may select early stage NSCLC patients who are most likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin/vinorelbine.

Project description:The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for lung cancer was introduced in 2017 and included major revisions, especially of stage III. For the subgroup stage IIIA-N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection remains controversial due to heterogeneous disease entity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors of patients with completely resected stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC. We retrospectively evaluated 77 consecutive patients with pathologic stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC (AJCC eighth edition) who underwent surgical resection with curative intent in China Medical University Hospital between 2006 and 2014. Survival analysis was conducted, using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors predicting overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed, using log-rank tests and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Of the 77 patients with pathologic stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC examined, 35 (45.5%) were diagnosed before surgery and 42 (54.5%) were diagnosed unexpectedly during surgery. The mean age of patients was 59 years, and the mean length of follow-up was 38.1 months. The overall one-, three-, and five-year OS rates were 91.9%, 61.3%, and 33.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size <3 cm (hazards ratio (HR): 0.373, p = 0.003) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach (HR: 0.383, p = 0.014) were significant predictors for improved OS. For patients with surgically treated, pathologic stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC, tumor size <3 cm and the VATS approach seemed to be associated with better prognosis.

Project description:PurposeThe JBR.10 trial demonstrated benefit from adjuvant cisplatin/vinorelbine (ACT) in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesized that expression profiling may identify stage-independent subgroups who might benefit from ACT.Patients and methodsGene expression profiling was conducted on mRNA from 133 frozen JBR.10 tumor samples (62 observation [OBS], 71 ACT). The minimum gene set that was selected for the greatest separation of good and poor prognosis patient subgroups in OBS patients was identified. The prognostic value of this gene signature was tested in four independent published microarray data sets and by quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).ResultsA 15-gene signature separated OBS patients into high-risk and low-risk subgroups with significantly different survival (hazard ratio [HR], 15.02; 95% CI, 5.12 to 44.04; P < .001; stage I HR, 13.31; P < .001; stage II HR, 13.47; P < .001). The prognostic effect was verified in the same 62 OBS patients where gene expression was assessed by qPCR. Furthermore, it was validated consistently in four separate microarray data sets (total 356 stage IB to II patients without adjuvant treatment) and additional JBR.10 OBS patients by qPCR (n = 19). The signature was also predictive of improved survival after ACT in JBR.10 high-risk patients (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.63; P = .0005), but not in low-risk patients (HR, 3.67; 95% CI, 1.22 to 11.06; P = .0133; interaction P < .001). Significant interaction between risk groups and ACT was verified by qPCR.ConclusionThis 15-gene expression signature is an independent prognostic marker in early-stage, completely resected NSCLC, and to our knowledge, is the first signature that has demonstrated the potential to select patients with stage IB to II NSCLC most likely to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin/vinorelbine.

Project description:ObjectivesCyclooxygenase-2-derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is highly involved in the promotion of cancer progression. The end product of this pathway, PGE-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM), is a stable metabolite of PGE2 that can be assessed non-invasively and repeatedly in urine samples. The aim of this study was to assess the dynamic changes in perioperative PGE-MUM levels and their prognostic significance in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsBetween December 2012 and March 2017, 211 patients who underwent complete resection for NSCLC were analysed prospectively. PGE-MUM levels in 2 spot urine samples taken 1 or 2 days preoperatively and 3-6 weeks postoperatively were measured using a radioimmunoassay kit.ResultsElevated preoperative PGE-MUM levels were associated with tumour size, pleural invasion and advanced stage. Multivariable analysis revealed that age, pleural invasion, lymph node metastasis and postoperative PGE-MUM levels were independent prognostic factors. In matched pre- and postoperative urine samples obtained from patients who are eligible for adjuvant chemotherapy, an increase in PGE-MUM levels following resection was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio 3.017, P = 0.005). Adjuvant chemotherapy improved survival in patients with increased PGE-MUM levels after resection (5-year overall survival, 79.0 vs 50.4%, P = 0.027), whereas survival benefit was not observed in those with decreased PGE-MUM levels (5-year overall survival, 82.1 vs 82.3%, P = 0.442).ConclusionsIncreased preoperative PGE-MUM levels can reflect tumour progression and postoperative PGE-MUM levels are a promising biomarker for survival after complete resection in patients with NSCLC. Perioperative changes in PGE-MUM levels may aid in determining the optimal eligibility for adjuvant chemotherapy.

Project description:Objective The prognostic role of perineural invasion (PNI) in resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with resected NSCLC with and without PNI. Methods The PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies investigating the effect of PNI on OS in patients with resected NSCLC. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using a random-effects model. Separate meta-analyses using adjusted or unadjusted HR for OS were performed using Stata/SE 12.0. Results Eleven studies comprising 2,279 patients were included. In total, PNI was identified in 9% (median, 4%–31%) of patients with resected NSCLC. The unadjusted pooled effect of the PNI was significantly associated with worse OS (HR, 2; 95% CI, 1.65–2.43). Adjusting for potential confounders yielded a similar result, with OS being significantly worse (HR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.8–2.51) for patients exhibiting PNI. Conclusion This meta-analysis indicates that the PNI is a strong prognostic factor for unfavorable outcomes in patients with resected NSCLC. Further large-scale prospective lung cancer trials are required to validate these results.
