High Beclin-1 and ARID1A expression corelates with poor survival and high recurrence in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a histopathological retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although surgical resection provides a cure for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), the risk of mortality and recurrence remains high. Several biomarkers are reported to be associated with the prognosis of ICC, including Beclin-1, ARID1A, carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), but results are inconsistent. Therefore, a histopathological retrospective study was performed to simultaneously investigate the relationship of these four potential biomarkers with clinicopathological parameters and their prognostic values in patients with ICC.

Methods

A total of 113 patients with ICC were enrolled from Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 1999 and June 2015. The expression of Beclin-1, ARID1A, IDH1 and CA9 were determined by immunohistochemical staining. The prognostic values of the four biomarkers were analyzed by Cox regression and the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

Beclin-1, ARID1A, CA9 and IDH1 were highly expressed in ICC tumor tissues. Higher mortality was positively associated with Beclin-1 expression (HR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.09-5.24) and higher recurrence was positively associated with ARID1A expression (HR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.06-2.78). Neither CA9 nor IDH1 expression was significantly associated with mortality or disease recurrence. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that ICC patients with higher Beclin-1 and ARID1A expression had a lower survival rate and a worse recurrence rate than patients with low Beclin-1 and ARID1A expression (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

High Beclin-1 and ARIDIA expression are strongly associated with poor prognosis in ICC patients, and thus Beclin-1 and ARID1A should be simultaneously considered as potential prognostic biomarkers for ICC patients.

Project description:ImportanceKRAS variants are associated with tumor progression; however, the prevalence of KRAS variant subtypes and their association with survival and recurrence in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after curative resection are largely unknown.ObjectiveTo explore the prognostic association of KRAS variant subtypes with survival and recurrence in patients with ICC.Design, setting, and participantsIn this cohort study, patients who underwent curative resection for ICC from January 2009 through December 2016 at a single hospital in China were recruited, and whole-exome sequencing, targeted sequencing, and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify KRAS variants. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Data were analyzed from April 2020 to January 2021.InterventionsHepatectomy in patients with ICC.Main outcomes and measuresThe association of KRAS variant subtypes with OS and DFS.ResultsOf 1024 included patients with ICC, 621 (60.6%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 59.2 (10.2) years. A total of 14 different subtypes of KRAS somatic variants affecting 127 patients (12.4%) were identified. G12D was the most frequent allele in this cohort, accounting for 55 of 127 identified KRAS variants (43.3%), followed by G12V (25 [19.7%]), G12C (9 [7.1%]), and G13D (8 [6.3%]). Compared with patients with wild-type KRAS, patients with variant KRAS were more likely to have high levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (92 of 127 [72.4%] vs 546 of 897 [60.9%]; P = .01) and γ-glutamyltransferase (72 of 127 [56.7%] vs 420 of 897 [46.8%]; P = .04). Multivariable analysis revealed that G12 KRAS variants but not non-G12 KRAS variants were independently associated with worse OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.69; 95% CI, 1.31-2.18; P < .001) and DFS (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.16-1.88; P = .002). Among the patients with G12 KRAS variants, the G12V KRAS variant was the strongest prognostic determinant for the worst OS (HR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.94-4.79; P < .001) and DFS (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.13-2.85; P = .01).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, the distribution of KRAS variant subtypes was characterized in a large cohort of patients with ICC from China. The presence of G12 KRAS variants but not non-G12 KRAS variants was associated with worse survival and increased risk of recurrence. Patients with the G12V variant exhibited the worst outcomes in the whole cohort.

Project description:BackgroundLiver resection is the most effective treatment for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Recurrent disease is frequent; however, recurrence patterns are ill-defined and prognostic models are lacking.Study designA primary cohort of 189 patients who underwent resection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma was used for recurrence patterns analysis within and after 24 months. Based on independent factors for disease-free survival identified in Cox regression analysis, preoperative and postoperative models were developed using a recursive partitioning method. Models were externally validated using a multicenter cohort of 522 resected patients (Association Française de Chirurgie intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma study group).ResultsRecurrence within 24 months most often involved the liver (82.7%), and most recurrences after 24 months were strictly extrahepatic (61.1%). In multivariable analysis of the primary cohort, independent preoperative factors for disease-free survival were tumor size and multifocality (based on imaging); tumor size, multifocality, vascular invasion, and lymph node metastases (based on pathology) were independent postoperative factors. The preoperative model allowed patient classification into low-risk and high-risk groups for recurrence. In the validation cohort (n = 522), high-risk patients had a greater likelihood of recurrence (hazard ratio = 2.17; 95% CI, 1.74-2.72; p < 0.001). The postoperative model included tumor size, vascular invasion, and positive nodal disease on pathology and classified patients in low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups in the primary cohort. As compared with low-risk patients in the validation cohort, intermediate- and high-risk patients were more likely to experience recurrence (hazard ratio = 1.9; 95% CI, 1.41-2.47; p < 0.001 and hazard ratio = 2.99; 95% CI, 2.08-4.31; p < 0.001, respectively).ConclusionsRecurrence patterns are time dependent. Both models as developed and validated in this study classified patients in distinct recurrence risk groups, which can guide treatment recommendations.

Project description:Introduction: The emerging field of "radiomics" has considerable potential in disease diagnosis, pathologic grading, prognosis evaluation, and prediction of treatment response. We aimed to develop a novel radiomics nomogram based on radiomics features and clinical characteristics that could preoperatively predict early recurrence (ER) of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after partial hepatectomy. Methods: A predictive model was developed from a training cohort comprising 139 ICC patients diagnosed between January 2010 and June 2014. Radiomics features were extracted from arterial-phase image of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Feature selection and construction of a "radiomics signature" were through Spearman's rank correlation and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression. Combined with clinical characteristics, a radiomics nomogram was developed with multivariable logistic regression. Performance of the nomogram was evaluated with regard to discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. An independent validation cohort involving 70 patients recruited from July 2014 to March 2016 was used to evaluate the utility of the nomogram developed. Results: The radiomics signature, consisting of nine features, differed significantly between ER patients and non-ER patients in training and validation cohorts. The area under the curve (AUC) of the radiomics signature in training and validation cohorts was 0.82 (confidence interval [CI], 0.74-0.88) and 0.77 (95% CI, 0.65-0.86), respectively. The AUC of the radiomics nomogram combining the radiomics signature and clinical stage in the two cohorts was 0.90 (95%CI, 0.83-0.94) and 0.86 (95% CI, 0.76-0.93), respectively. Decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical usefulness of the radiomics nomogram. Conclusion: The non-invasive radiomics nomogram developed using the radiomics signature and clinical stage could be used to predict ER of ICC after partial hepatectomy.
