MED12 mutation in patients with hysteromyoma.

ABSTRACT: Mediator Complex Subunit 12 (MED12) is a subunit of the mediator complex, which is believed to regulate global, as well as gene-specific, transcription. It has been reported that MED12 is mutated at high frequency in hysteromyoma. Recent studies have also shown that MED12 presents with different mutation frequencies in hysteromyoma patients of different populations. However, there are few studies with regard to the MED12 gene mutation in hysteromyoma patients in the Chinese Han population. In the present study, the MED12 mutations of 171 patients with hysteromyoma were analyzed; the results showed that 93 patients exhibited different MED12 mutations, including 131G?T, 131G?A, 130G?A, 146C?T, 130G?A, 130G?C, 128A?C, 130G?T, 127Ins27, 118_132Del15, 117_134Del18, 131_148Del18 and 141_165Del15. The mutation frequency was similar to that found in individuals of African descent or individuals of other non-Caucasian ethnicities, and lower than that in the Finnish or North American populations. Further analysis of 141 patients whose hysteromyoma was measured showed that the mutation frequency of MED12 in patients with large hysteromyomas was significantly lower than that in those with small hysteromyomas. These results suggested that MED12 mutation was important in the development of hysteromyomas in the Chinese Han population and that the size of the hysteromyoma may negatively correlate with the mutation frequency of MED12. This study supplemented current information on MED12 mutations in different races and may aid in developing personalized diagnoses for patients with hysteromyoma in the future.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy elicits admirable anti-tumor responses across many types of cancer. Growing evidence point to a link to Mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12) and DNA damage repair (DDR) and TGF-β signing, while the clinical data on the association of MED12 and ICIs response are lacking. In this study, clinical and whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from published studies were merged as a WES cohort to explore the association between MED12 mutation (MED12-Mut) and ICIs efficiency across cancers. Then, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) cohort was used for validating our findings. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort was used to perform anti-tumor immunity and prognosis analysis. In the WES cohort (n = 474), significant differences were detected between MED12-Mut and MED12-wildtype (MED12-Wt) patients regarding durable clinical benefit (DCB, 80.00% vs. 53.67%, P = 0.022). In addition, significantly prolonged PFS was observed in MED12-Mut patients (mPFS: not reached, NR vs. 5.87 months, HR: 0.38, 95% CI 0.17-0.85, log-rank P = 0.015), After taking into account age, gender, metastasis, treatment and TMB status, the result of multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression showed significantly better PFS (HR:0.40, 95% CI 0.18-0.92; P = 0.031). In the MSKCC cohort (n = 1513), overall survival advantage was achieved in MED12-Mut patients (mOS: 41 vs. 19 months, HR:0.54, 95%CI 0.34-0.85; log-rank P = 0.007), after taking into account same factors in WES cohort, this link still existed (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.38-0.96, P = 0.033), Notably, TMB was also found significantly higher in MED12-Mut patients in both WES and MSKCC cohort. Further tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and DDR-related gene analysis revealed anti-tumor immunity in MED12-Mut patients. Totally, MED12-Mut successfully predicted better clinical outcomes in ICIs-treated pan-cancer cohort, indicating that MED12-Mut could serve as a potential predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitors in pan-cancer.
