URI1 amplification in uterine carcinosarcoma associates with chemo-resistance and poor prognosis.


ABSTRACT: Uterine carcinosarcoma (UCS) is a rare type of cancer and accounts for 5% of uterine malignancies. However, UCS patients suffer a high prevalence of chemo-resistance and a very poor prognosis compared to uterine cancer patients. URI is a chaperone with functions in transcription. We analyzed the somatic URI1 copy number variation in 57 post-menopausal non-metastatic UCS patients in comparison to 363 uterine corpus endometrial carcinomas. URI1 amplification was detected in 40% (23/57) of primary UCS and 5.5% (20/363) of uterine carcinomas. UCS patients with URI1 amplification exhibited 13% (3/23) tumor-free survival compared to 41% (14/34) in the absence of URI amplification (P=0.023). URI1 amplification (OR=6.54, P=0.027), weight (OR=1.068, P=0.024), hypertension (OR=3.35, P=0.044), and tumor stage (OR=2.358, P=0.018) associated with poor survival. Patients treated with hormone replacement therapy (OR=15.87, P=0.011) displayed enhanced overall survival. Combined radiation and chemotherapy improved patient survival (median survival=2043 days) compared to single (median survival=597 days) or no treatment (median survival=317 days, P=0.0016). Importantly, patients with URI1 amplification had poor response to adjuvant treatment compared to control group (P=0.013). Tumors with URI1 amplification displayed decreased transcription of genes encoding tumor suppressor and apoptotic regulators and increased expression of genes regulating oncogenesis, survival and metastasis. Overexpression of URI1 in a cultured cell model induced ATM expression and resistance to cisplatin. Our findings suggest that high prevalence in UCS may associate with poor prognosis and worse response to adjuvant treatment.
