Involvement of non-B cell-derived immunoglobulin G in the metastasis and prognosis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Cancer cell-derived immunoglobulin G (cancer-IgG) has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of various types of cancer. However, its role in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of cancer-IgG on metastasis and prognosis in 96 patients with SACC. Immunohistochemical staining showed that cancer-IgG expression was present in all 96 individual SACC tissues. Additionally, high cancer-IgG expression was significantly correlated with metastasis, nerve invasion and recurrence in SACC (P<0.05). Moreover, cancer-IgG expression was significantly correlated with the survival duration of patients with SACC (P<0.05). Proliferation, cell motility and invasion all decreased significantly following knockdown of cancer-IgG in SACC cells (P<0.05) through population-doubling time, wound healing and transwell invasion assays. Additionally, cancer-IgG-knockdown in SACC cells induced the increased expression of E-cadherin and matrix metalloproteinase 9, and promoted the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, but decreased the expression of F-actin filaments. Taken together, these results showed that the high expression of cancer-IgG was strongly associated with metastasis, recurrence and invasion in SACC, suggesting that cancer-IgG expression could serve as a useful biomarker to predict the prognosis of the disease.

Project description:Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a slow growing, but relentless cancer. Due to its rarity and lack of understanding of its molecular etiology, no standard chemotherapy for ACC currently exists and many patients suffer from recurrent and/or metastatic disease. As such, development of safe and effective therapies is imperative. To describe and summarize existing clinical trial studies and preclinical discoveries, we surveyed the PubMed on developmental therapeutics for ACC. Objective response rates to monotherapy with cytotoxic agents were approximately 10% with cisplatin, 5-FU, gemcitabine, mitoxantrone, epirubicin, vinorelbine and paclitaxel. The most studied combination therapies were cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-cisplatin (CAP) and cisplatin-vinorelbine, with an objective response rate of 18-31%. Among molecularly targeted drugs, the most studied drugs are inhibitors targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) to inhibit tumor angiogenesis. Among those, lenvatinib and axitinib showed a relatively high objective response rate of 11-16% and 9-17%, respectively. Given high recurrence rates and chemoresistance of ACC, treatments targeting cancer stem cells (CSC), which function as tumor-initiating cells and drive chemoresistance, may be particularly valuable. CSC have been shown to be targetable via MYB, Notch1, p53 and epigenetic mechanisms. Myb overexpression is characteristic in ACC but was previously thought to present a difficult target due to its nature as a transcription factor. However, due to the development Myb-targeted inhibitors and an ongoing clinical trial of MYB-targeted cancer vaccine therapy, MYB is becoming an increasingly attractive therapeutic target. Drugs targeting NOTCH signaling demonstrated 5-17% response rate in phase I clinical trials. Within the field of epigenetics, treatment with PRMT5 inhibitors has shown 21% partial response rate in phase I clinical trial. Immunotherapies, such as PD-1 inhibitors, are also associated with CSC, but have not been effective against ACC. However, clinical trials of cancer vaccine therapies are actively being conducted. In addition to conventional chemotherapies and inhibitors of angiogenesis, the emergence of new therapies such as immunotherapy and those targeting cancer stemness is expected to bring clinical benefits to patients in the future.
