TP53 mutation predicts the poor prognosis of non-Hodgkin lymphomas: Evidence from a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a group of malignant hematologic disorders with high heterogeneity. The diagnosis, clinical manifestations, classification, and prognosis of this condition differ among numerous NHL subgroups. The prognostic significance of the mutation of TP53, a tumor suppressor gene involved in cell cycle regulation, should be confirmed in NHL. In this study, our searching strategy and inclusion criteria were implemented, and the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) of the included studies were calculated directly or indirectly. A total of 1,851 patients were enrolled in 22 studies. A meta-analysis was then performed using STATA version 12.0 to confirm the correlation between the status of TP53 mutation and the survival time of patients with NHL. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed with a chi-square-based Q statistical test and Inconsistency index (I2) statistic. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were also evaluated. A total of 22 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled HR of the overall survival from 20 studies was 2.30 (95% CI: 1.92-2.76, p = 0.001) with heterogeneity (I2 30.2% p = 0.099). The pooled HR of the progression free survival provided in 5 articles was 2.28 (95% CI: 1.78-2.93, p = 0.001) with heterogeneity (I2 39.8% p = 0.156). No publication bias was found among the included studies, and sensitivity analysis suggested that the combined HRs were stable after any of the studies was excluded from our meta-analysis. This study identified the prognostic significance of TP53 mutation that varied in different NHL subgroups. The group with a mutated TP53 was significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with NHL. This parameter is a valuable basis for accurate individual therapeutic regimens.

Project description:Background - Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) are heterogeneous tumors with respect to etiology, cell of origin and biology. The course of the disease is unpredictable and is in part dependent on the tumor microenvironment. One of the microenvironmental factors is hypoxia, which is known to promote aggressiveness in other malignant tumors. We hypothesized that certain regions in HCC exist with chronic hypoxia and a characteristic gene expression pattern. Moreover, during the development of HCC there is an important contribution of this chronic hypoxia on prognosis via this gene expression. Until now, most research has been performed in acute hypoxic models (< 24 hours). Methods – Human hepatoblastoma cells HepG2 were cultured in either normoxic (20% O2) or hypoxic (2% O2) conditions for 72 hrs, the time it takes to adapt to chronic hypoxia. After 3 days the cells were harvested and analyzed by microarray technology. The highly significant differentially expressed genes were selected and used to assess the clinical value of our in vitro chronic hypoxia gene signature in four published patient studies. Three of these independent microarray studies on HCC patients were used as training sets to determine a minimal prognostic gene set and one study was used for validation. Gene expression analysis and correlation with clinical outcome was assessed with the bioinfomatic method of Goeman et al (). Results – In the HepG2 cells, 3592 genes were differentially expressed in cells cultured at 2% oxygen for 72 hrs. Out of these, 265 showed a high significant change (2-fold change and p=0.0001). The level of gene expression after 72 hrs was different from the acute hypoxic response (during the first 24 hours) and represented chronicity. Using computational methods we identified 7 out of the 265 highly significant genes that showed correlation with prognosis in all three different training sets and this was independently validated in a 4th dataset. With our approach we could include the largest number of HCC patients in one single study. Conclusion – We identified a 7-gene signature, which is associated with chronic hypoxia and predicts prognosis in patients with HCC. In the future this signature could be used as a diagnostic tool. In addition, chronic hypoxia gene expression information can be used in the search for new therapeutic targets. Two conditions were compared and each sample has a biological replicate. Samples are hybridized in dye-swap, resulting in 4 hybridizations.
