Clinical Significance of Four Molecular Subtypes of Gastric Cancer Identified by The Cancer Genome Atlas Project.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project recently uncovered four molecular subtypes of gastric cancer: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), microsatellite instability (MSI), genomically stable (GS), and chromosomal instability (CIN). However, their clinical significances are currently unknown. We aimed to investigate the relationship between subtypes and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.Experimental Design: Gene expression data from a TCGA cohort (n = 262) were used to develop a subtype prediction model, and the association of each subtype with survival and benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy was tested in 2 other cohorts (n = 267 and 432). An integrated risk assessment model (TCGA risk score) was also developed.Results: EBV subtype was associated with the best prognosis, and GS subtype was associated with the worst prognosis. Patients with MSI and CIN subtypes had poorer overall survival than those with EBV subtype but better overall survival than those with GS subtype (P = 0.004 and 0.03 in two cohorts, respectively). In multivariate Cox regression analyses, TCGA risk score was an independent prognostic factor [HR, 1.5; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.2-1.9; P = 0.001]. Patients with the CIN subtype experienced the greatest benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.16-0.94; P = 0.03) and those with the GS subtype had the least benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.36-1.89; P = 0.65).Conclusions: Our prediction model successfully stratified patients by survival and adjuvant chemotherapy outcomes. Further development of the prediction model is warranted. Clin Cancer Res; 23(15); 4441-9. ©2017 AACR.

Immune cell infiltration signatures identified molecular subtypes and underlying mechanisms in gastric cancer.

Project description:Increasing evidence has clarified that the tumor microenvironment (TME) is closely related to the prognosis and therapeutic efficacy of cancer. However, there is no reliable TME evaluation system used to accurately predict the prognosis of and therapeutic efficacy in gastric cancer. We evaluated the immune microenvironment score (IMS) of 1422 gastric cancer samples based on 51 immune cell signatures. We explored the relationship between the IMS and prognosis, immune cell infiltration, cancer subtype, and potential immune escape mechanisms. The results show that activation of the stroma and decreased levels of immune infiltration were associated with a low IMS. A high IMS was characterized by Epstein-Barr virus infection, increased mutation load, microsatellite instability, and immune cell infiltration. A high IMS was also related to high expression of immune checkpoint molecules (PD-1/PD-L1). Finally, patients with a high IMS had a better response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and may be more suitable for immune checkpoint inhibitors (area under the curve = 0.81). In addition, a low IMS may be converted into the immune-infiltrating subtype after romidepsin treatment. Stratification based on the IMS may enable gastric cancer patients to benefit more from immunotherapy and help identify new cancer treatment strategies.

Genetic Alterations in the Molecular Subtypes of Bladder Cancer: Illustration in the Cancer Genome Atlas Dataset.

Project description:CONTEXT:Recent whole genome mRNA expression profiling studies revealed that bladder cancers can be grouped into molecular subtypes, some of which share clinical properties and gene expression patterns with the intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer and the molecular subtypes found in other solid tumors. The molecular subtypes in other solid tumors are enriched with specific mutations and copy number aberrations that are thought to underlie their distinct progression patterns, and biological and clinical properties. OBJECTIVE:The availability of comprehensive genomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and other large projects made it possible to correlate the presence of DNA alterations with tumor molecular subtype membership. Our overall goal was to determine whether specific DNA mutations and/or copy number variations are enriched in specific molecular subtypes. EVIDENCE:We used the complete TCGA RNA-seq dataset and three different published classifiers developed by our groups to assign TCGA's bladder cancers to molecular subtypes, and examined the prevalence of the most common DNA alterations within them. We interpreted the results against the background of what was known from the published literature about the prevalence of these alterations in nonmuscle-invasive and muscle-invasive bladder cancers. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS:The results confirmed that alterations involving RB1 and NFE2L2 were enriched in basal cancers, whereas alterations involving FGFR3 and KDM6A were enriched in luminal tumors. CONCLUSIONS:The results further reinforce the conclusion that the molecular subtypes of bladder cancer are distinct disease entities with specific genetic alterations. PATIENT SUMMARY:Our observation showed that some of subtype-enriched mutations and copy number aberrations are clinically actionable, which has direct implications for the clinical management of patients with bladder cancer.

The clinicopathological significance of SWI/SNF alterations in gastric cancer is associated with the molecular subtypes.

Project description:The clinicopathological significance of altered SWI/SNF complex has not been well evaluated in gastric cancer (GC). We examined SMARCA2, SMARCA4, SMARCB1 and ARID1A expression by immunohistochemistry in 1224 surgically resected GCs with subtyping into Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), microsatellite instability (MSI) and non-EBV/MSI Lauren histotypes. SWI/SNF mutations were investigated using the GC dataset of the TCGA Pan-Cancer Atlas. Clinicopathological association was assessed by statistical analysis. There were 427 cases (35%) of SWI/SNF-attenuated GC, including 344 SMARCA2 (28%), 28 SMARCA4 (2%), 11 SMARCB1 (1%) and 197 ARID1A (16%) cases. Simultaneous alterations of multiple subunits were observed. Compared to SWI/SNF-retained cases, SWI/SNF-attenuated GC exhibited a significant predilection to older ages, EBV and MSI genotypes, higher lymphatic invasion and less hematogenous recurrence (P < 0.05). SWI/SNF attenuation was an independent risk factor for short overall survival (P = 0.001, hazard ratio 1.360, 95% confidence interval 1.138-1.625). The survival impact stemmed from SMARCA2-attenuated GCs in stage III and non-EBV/MSI diffuse/mixed subtypes (P = 0.019 and < 0.001, respectively). ARID1A-lost/heterogeneous GCs were more aggressive in the EBV genotype (P = 0.016). SMARCB1 or SMARCA4 loss was not restricted to rhabdoid/undifferentiated carcinoma. In the TCGA dataset, 223 of 434 GCs (52%) harbored deleterious SWI/SNF mutations, including ARID1A (27%), SMARCA2 (9%), ARID2 (9%), ARID1B (8%), PBRM1 (7%), and SMARCA4 (7%). SWI/SNF-mutated GCs displayed a favorable outcome owing to the high percentage with the MSI genotype. In conclusion, SWI/SNF-altered GCs are common and the clinicopathological significance is related to the genotype.

The clinical applications of The Cancer Genome Atlas project for bladder cancer.

Project description:IntroductionKnowledge of the molecular subtypes of bladder cancer enables powerful generalizations involving the distinctive biology and pathways driving different disease subsets. Areas covered: In this review, we summarize the findings of a number of published studies exploring the molecular landscape of bladder cancer by analysis of genomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). TCGA project has provided a comprehensive data resource of 412 muscle-invasive bladder cancers as characterized by multiple molecular analytical platforms. These data have been and will continue to be utilized in numerous subsequent studies aimed at better understanding the molecular basis of bladder cancer. The catalog of DNA-level alterations can greatly inform personalized and precision medicine approaches. Molecular subtypes of bladder cancer include distinct 'basal/squamous' and 'luminal' subtypes, cancers with papillary histology, disease subsets with prominent leukocyte infiltration and immune checkpoint marker expression, and a 'neuronal' subtype lacking small cell or neuroendocrine histology. The gene-level alterations and subtypes as revealed by TCGA data are relevant from the standpoint of both basic biology and clinical trial studies. Expert commentary: Multiple studies analyzing TCGA muscle-invasive bladder cancer cases point to the existence of five major expression-based molecular subtypes of the disease, with these subtypes having therapeutic implications.
