Genomic predictive model for recurrence and metastasis development in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients.

ABSTRACT: The head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) population consists mainly of high-risk for recurrence and locally advanced stage patients. Increased knowledge of the HNSCC genomic profile can improve early diagnosis and treatment outcomes. The development of models to identify consistent genomic patterns that distinguish HNSCC patients that will recur and/or develop metastasis after treatment is of utmost importance to decrease mortality and improve survival rates. In this study, we used array comparative genomic hybridization data from HNSCC patients to implement a robust model to predict HNSCC recurrence/metastasis. This predictive model showed a good accuracy (>80%) and was validated in an independent population from TCGA data portal. This predictive genomic model comprises chromosomal regions from 5p, 6p, 8p, 9p, 11q, 12q, 15q and 17p, where several upstream and downstream members of signaling pathways that lead to an increase in cell proliferation and invasion are mapped. The introduction of genomic predictive models in clinical practice might contribute to a more individualized clinical management of the HNSCC patients, reducing recurrences and improving patients' quality of life. The power of this genomic model to predict the recurrence and metastases development should be evaluated in other HNSCC populations.

The Role of MicroRNAs in Recurrence and Metastasis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) affects 650,000 people worldwide and has a dismal 50% 5-year survival rate. Recurrence and metastasis are believed the two most important factors causing this high mortality. Understanding the biological process and the underlying mechanisms of recurrence and metastasis is critical to develop novel and effective treatment, which is expected to improve patients' survival of HNSCC. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding nucleotides that regulate gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level. Oncogenic and tumor-suppressive microRNAs have shown to regulate nearly every step of recurrence and metastasis, ranging from migration and invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), anoikis, to gain of cancer stem cell property. This review encompasses an overview of microRNAs involved in these processes. The recent advances of utilizing microRNA as biomarkers and targets for treatment, particularly on controlling recurrence and metastasis are also reviewed.

Development and validation of a predictive model based on β-Klotho for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Head and neck epithelial tissue tumors may be identified as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). Numerous malignancies are encouraged by dysregulation of the FGF19-β-Klotho (KLB) axis in the tumor microenvironment. Using protein databases and RT-qPCR, we examined KLB expression in HNSC. In HNSC, higher KLB expression was linked to longer survival times and better prognoses. Furthermore, variations in drug susceptibility and immunological infiltration were noted according to KLB expression levels. These results underscore the importance of KLB in the course and management of HNSC by indicating that it may function as a possible prognostic marker and influence immunological and therapeutic responses in these individuals. Further study on HNSC is necessary to investigate KLB's potential as a therapeutic target and prognostic indicator.

Predictive value of epigenetic alterations in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Head and neck cancer collectively describes malignant tumors originating from the mucosal surface of the upper aerodigestive tract. These tumors pose a great threat to public health because of their high incidence and mortality. Traditional risk factors are tobacco and alcohol abuse. More recently, infection by high-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV) has been identified as an additional risk factor, especially for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Moreover, HPV-positive OPSCC is considered a distinct tumor entity with an improved clinical outcome compared to HPV-negative OPSCC. Epigenetic alterations act as key events in the pathogenesis of cancer and are of special interest for basic and translational oncology because of their reversible nature. This review provides a comprehensive summary of alterations of the epigenome in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with a focus on the methylome (hypomethylation and hypermethylation) and its predictive value in the evaluation of pathologic states and clinical outcome, or monitoring response rates to certain therapies.

Identifying Predictive Biomarkers for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Response.

Project description:The 5-year survival rate for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is approximately 65%. In addition to radio-chemotherapy, immunotherapy is an approach in the treatment of advanced HNSCC. A better understanding of the immune context would allow personalized treatment by identifying patients who are best suited for different treatment options. In our discovery cohort, we evaluated the expression profiles of CMTM6, PD-L1, CTLA-4, and FOXP3 in 177 HNSCCs from Caucasian patients of all tumor stages and different treatment regimens, correlating marker expression in tumor and immune cells with outcomes. Patients with CMTM6high-expressing tumors had a longer overall survival regardless of treatment. This prognostic benefit of CMTM6 in HNSCC was validated in an independent cohort. Focusing on the in the discovery cohort (n = 177), a good predictive effect of CMTM6high expression was seen in patients receiving radiotherapy (p = 0.07; log rank), but not in others. CMTM6 correlated with PD-L1, CTLA-4 and FOXP3 positivity, with patients possessing CMTM6high/FOXP3high tumors showing the longest survival regardless of treatment. In chemotherapy-treated patients, PD-L1 positivity was associated with longer progression-free survival (p < 0.05). In the 27 patients who received immunotherapy, gene expression analysis revealed lower levels of CTLA-4 and FOXP3 with either partial or complete response to this treatment, while no effect was observed for CMTM6 or PD-L1. The combination of these immunomodulatory markers seems to be an interesting prognostic and predictive signature for HNSCC patients with the ability to optimize individualized treatments.

Proteome and phosphoproteome signatures of recurrence for HPV+ head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide and the human papillomavirus (HPVP+P)-driven subtype is the fastest rising in North America. Although most cases of HPV+ HNSCC respond to radiation and chemotherapy in combination with surgery, up to 20% of patients recur after primary treatment with poor prognosis. To gain insights into the mechanism of recurrence to inform patient stratification and precision treatment, we carried out RNA-seq analysis on 43 HPV+ HNSCC specimens, of which 15, including 7 recurrent tumors, were analyzed by quantitative mass spectrometry. The proteome and phosphoproteome, but not the transcriptome, were found to be distinct between the recurrent and non-recurrent tumors. Specifically, recurrent tumors featured a pro-fibrotic and immune suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) characterized with more abundant cancer associated fibroblasts, extracellular matrix (ECM), neutrophils and suppressive myeloid cells, increased potential for epithelial-mesenchymal transition and defective T cell function, accompanied by aberrant changes in the corresponding signaling pathways. Mechanistically, kinome reprogramming played a pivotal role in mediating recurrence through regulating TME remodelling, cytoskeletal reorganization, cell adhesion, neutrophil function, and coagulation. Besides providing systems-level insights into the molecular basis of recurrence, our work led to the identification of numerous mechanism-based biomarkers and therapeutic targets that may aid future endeavours of developing prognostic biomarkers and precision medicine for recurrent HPV+ HNSCC.

MicroRNA expression ratio is predictive of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:The involvement of microRNAs in cancer and their potential as biomarkers of diagnosis and prognosis are becoming increasingly appreciated. We sought to identify microRNAs altered in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and to determine whether microRNA expression is predictive of disease.RNA isolated from fresh-frozen primary tumors, fresh-frozen nondiseased head and neck epithelial tissues, and HNSCC cell lines was profiled for the expression of 662 microRNAs by microarray. The microRNAs that were both differentially expressed on the array and by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR were subsequently validated by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR using a total of 99 HNSCC samples and 14 normal epithelia.A marked difference in microRNA expression pattern was observed between tumors and cell lines. Eighteen microRNAs were significantly altered in their expression between normal tissues and tumors. Four of these microRNAs were validated in the larger sample series, and each showed significant differential expression (P < 0.0001). Furthermore, an expression ratio of miR-221:miR-375 showed a high sensitivity (0.92) and specificity (0.93) for disease prediction.These data suggest that cultured tumor cell lines are inappropriate for microRNA biomarker identification and that the pattern of microRNA expression in primary head and neck tissues is reflective of disease status, with certain microRNAs exhibiting strong predictive potential. These results indicate that miR-221 and miR-375 should be evaluated further as diagnostic biomarkers because they may hold utility in defining broadly responsive prevention and treatment strategies for HNSCC.

Gene expression analysis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma survival and recurrence.

Project description:The squamous cell carcinomas represent about 90 % of all head and neck cancers, ranking the sixth most common human cancer. Approximately 450,000 of new cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are diagnosed every year. Unfortunately, because of diagnosis at the advanced stages and early metastasis to the lymph nodes, the HNSCC is associated with very high death rate. Identification of signature biomarkers and molecularly targeted therapies could provide more effective and specific cancer treatment, prevent recurrence, and increase survival rate. We used paired tumor and adjacent normal tissue samples to screen with RT² Profiler™ PCR Array Human Cancer PathwayFinderTM . Total of 20 up-regulated genes and two down-regulated genes were screened out. Out of 22 genes, 12 genes were subsequently validated to be significantly altered in the HNSCC; the samples were from all 41 patients. Five year survival and recurrence selected genes that could represent the biomarkers of survival and recurrence of the disease. We believe that comprehensive understanding of the unique genetic characteristics of HNSCC could provide novel diagnostic biomarkers and meet the requirement for molecular-targeted therapy for the HNSCC.

An Integrated Approach Identifies Mediators of Local Recurrence in Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma.

Project description:Purpose: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) cause more than 300,000 deaths worldwide each year. Locoregional and distant recurrences represent worse prognostic events and accepted surrogate markers of patients' overall survival. No valid biomarker and salvage therapy exist to identify and treat patients at high-risk of recurrence. We aimed to verify if selected miRNAs could be used as biomarkers of recurrence in HNSCC.Experimental Design: A NanoString array was used to identify miRNAs associated with locoregional recurrence in 44 patients with HNSCC. Bioinformatic approaches validated the signature and identified potential miRNA targets. Validation experiments were performed using an independent cohort of primary HNSCC samples and a panel of HNSCC cell lines. In vivo experiments validated the in vitro results.Results: Our data identified a four-miRNA signature that classified HNSCC patients at high- or low-risk of recurrence. These miRNAs collectively impinge on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process. In silico and wet lab approaches showed that miR-9, expressed at high levels in recurrent HNSCC, targets SASH1 and KRT13, whereas miR-1, miR-133, and miR-150, expressed at low levels in recurrent HNSCC, collectively target SP1 and TGF? pathways. A six-gene signature comprising these targets identified patients at high risk of recurrences, as well. Combined pharmacological inhibition of SP1 and TGF? pathways induced HNSCC cell death and, when timely administered, prevented recurrence formation in a preclinical model of HNSCC recurrence.Conclusions: By integrating different experimental approaches and competences, we identified critical mediators of recurrence formation in HNSCC that may merit to be considered for future clinical development.

Definitive local therapy to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with distant metastasis.

Project description:ObjectivesData on the efficacy of including definitive local therapy to the primary site for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients with synchronous distant metastasis are lacking. In multiple different solid tumor types, there has been benefit when using systemic therapy followed by local consolidative therapy (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy or surgery) directed at metastases. We proposed to retrospectively evaluate patients at our institution that received definitive treatment to the primary.MethodsSingle institution retrospective study evaluating 40 patients with metastatic HNSCC treated with definitive surgery (55%) or chemoradiation (45%) to the primary site from 2000 to 2020. The major endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for the total population and multiple sub-groups. Some variables were evaluated with multiple covariates Cox model.ResultsThe median PFS was 8.6 months (95% CI, 6.4-11.6), and OS was 14.2 months (95% CI, 10.9-27.5). In 28% of patients that received induction therapy, there was a twofold increase in median overall survival to 27.5 months. In the 33% of patients that received anti-PD-1 mAb as part of their treatment course, the median OS was significantly increased to 41.7 months (95% CI, 8.7-NR) versus 12.1 months (95% CI, 8.4-14.4) with a 5-year OS of 39%. Multivariate analysis for OS showed significance for age at diagnosis, use of IO, and number of metastatic sites.ConclusionWe observed impressive survival outcomes in metastatic HNSCC patients treated with definitive local therapy to the primary site in addition to induction and/or immunotherapy. Further study is warranted.Level of Evidence: 3.
