Genomic rearrangements define lineage relationships between adjacent lepidic and invasive components in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: The development of adenocarcinoma of the lung is believed to proceed from in situ disease (adenocarcinoma in situ, AIS) to minimally invasive disease with prominent lepidic growth (minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, MIA), then to fully invasive adenocarcinoma (AD), but direct evidence for this model has been lacking. Because some lung adenocarcinomas show prominent lepidic growth (AD-L), we designed a study to address the lineage relationship between the lepidic (noninvasive) component (L) and the adjacent nonlepidic growth component representing invasive disease within individual tumors. Lineage relationships were evaluated by next-generation DNA sequencing to define large genomic rearrangements in microdissected tissue specimens collected by laser capture. We found a strong lineage relationship between the majority of adjacent lepidic and invasive components, supporting a putative AIS-AD transition. Notably, many rearrangements were detected in the less aggressive lepidic component, although the invasive component exhibited an overall higher rate of genomic rearrangement. Furthermore, a significant number of genomic rearrangements were present in histologically normal lung adjacent to tumor, but not in host germline DNA, suggesting field defects restricted to zonal regions near a tumor. Our results offer a perspective on the genetic pathogenesis underlying adenocarcinoma development and its clinical management.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Non-mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is considered the early stage of lung adenocarcinoma and is classified as the lung adenocarcioma in situ (AIS) by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society. This study was designed to investigate the gene expression differences between AIS (formerly non-mucinous BAC) and invasive lepidic predominant adenocarcinoma (LPA, formerly non-mucinous BAC pattern with >5 mm invasion, mixed type adenocarcinoma with BAC features) and to investigate the mechanism of the progression of lung adenocarcinoma in situ to invasive adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Gene expression analysis was performed by using Agilent 4?×?44 K Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray on 10 fresh frozen tissue samples of AIS and LPA, respectively. Real time RT-PCR was used to validate the differential expression of 13 genes selected by cDNA microarray on fresh frozen tissue samples from 41 patients with lung adenocarcinoma and 4 genes were confirmed. These 4 genes were then validated by western blotting. Immunohistochemical staining for these validated genes was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 81 cases of lung adenocarcinomna. RESULTS: We identified a 13 gene expression signature by comparative analysis of gene expression. Expression of these genes strongly differed between AIS and LPA. Four genes (MMP-2, c-fos, claudin 1 (CLDN1) and claudin 10(CLDN10)) were correlated with the results of microarray and real time RT-PCR analyses for the gene-expression data in samples from 41 patients with lung adenocarcinoma. As confirmed by western blotting, the expression levels of MMP-2 and c-fos were higher in LPA than those in AIS; the expression levels of CLDN1 and CLDN10 in LPA were lower than those in AIS. Immunohistochemical staining for these genes in samples from 81 cases of lung adenocarcinoma demonstrated the expressions of CLDN1 and CLDN10 were correlated with overall survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS: CLDN1 and CLDN10 may play important roles in the development of AIS to LPA. Overexpression of CLDN1 and CLDN10 indicates a favorable prognosis for overall survival in some patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Expression of CLDN10 may be regulated by the c-fos pathway.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In the new pathologic classification of lung adenocarcinoma proposed by IASLC/ATS/ERS in 2011, lepidic type adenocarcinomas are constituted by three subtypes; adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and lepidic predominant invasive adenocarcinoma (LPIA). Although these subtypes are speculated to show sequential progression from preinvasive lesion to invasive lung cancer, changes of protein expressions during these processes have not been fully studied yet. This study aims to glimpse a proteomic view of the early lepidic type lung adenocarcinomas. METHODS:A total of nine formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) lepidic type lung adenocarcinoma tissues were selected from our archives, three tissues each in AIS, MIA and LPIA. The tumor and peripheral non-tumor cells in these FFPE tissues were collected with laser microdissection (LMD). Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), protein compositions were compared with respect to the peptide separation profiles among tumors collected from three types of tissues, AIS, MIA and LPIA. Proteins identified were semi-quantified by spectral counting-based or identification-based protein-based approach, and statistical evaluation was performed by pairwise G-tests. RESULTS:A total of 840 proteins were identified. Spectral counting-based semi-quantitative comparisons of all identified proteins through AIS to LPIA have revealed that the protein expression profile of LPIA was significantly differentiated from other subtypes. 70 proteins including HPX, CTTN, CDH1, EGFR, MUC1 were found as LPIA-type marker candidates, 15 protein candidates for MIA-type marker included CRABP2, LMO7, and NPEP, and 26 protein candidates for AIS-type marker included LTA4H and SOD2. The STRING gene set enrichment resulted from the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis suggested that AIS was rather associated with pathways of focal adhesion, adherens junction, tight junction, that MIA had a strong association predominantly with pathways of proteoglycans in cancer and with PI3K-Akt. In contrast, LPIA was associated broadly with numerous tumor-progression pathways including ErbB, Ras, Rap1 and HIF-1 signalings. CONCLUSIONS:The proteomic profiles obtained in this study demonstrated the technical feasibility to elucidate protein candidates differentially expressed in FFPE tissues of LPIA. Our results may provide candidates of disease-oriented proteins which may be related to mechanisms of the early-stage progression of lung adenocarcinoma.
