Prognostic Effect of Adenosine-related Genetic Variants in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treated With Bevacizumab-based Chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Adenosine has an immunosuppressive and angiogenic modulation of the tumor microenvironment. The present study explored the efficacy of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adenosine-related molecules for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with bevacizumab-based chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We analyzed genomic DNA extracted from 451 samples from 3 independent cohorts: a discovery cohort of 107 patients treated with FOLFIRI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan) plus bevacizumab in FIRE-3 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT00433927); a validation cohort of 215 patients with FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab in TRIBE (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier, NCT00719797); and a control cohort of 129 patients treated with FOLFIRI plus cetuximab in FIRE-3. The relationship between the selected SNPs and clinical outcomes was analyzed. RESULTS:In the discovery cohort, patients with any C allele in CD39 rs11188513 had significantly shorter median progression-free survival compared with those with the T/T variant (11.3 vs. 13.1 months; hazard ratio [HR], 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-2.77; P = .022) on univariate analysis. Also, their overall survival (OS) was shorter (27.4 vs. 49.9 months; HR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.07-4.10; P = .031) on univariate and multivariable analyses. The significant association between CD39 rs11188513 and OS was confirmed in the validation cohort (25.8 vs. 31.6 months; HR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.09-2.15; P = .013). CD73 rs2229523 and A2BR rs2015353 in the discovery cohort and CD39 rs2226163 in the validation cohort showed significant correlations with OS on univariate and multivariable analyses. None of SNPs were significant in the cetuximab control cohort. CONCLUSION:Selected SNPs in the adenosine pathway could affect the clinical outcomes of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab.

Project description:BACKGROUND:No biomarkers exist to predict benefit from antiangiogenic therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer patients. ACVRL1 (activin receptor like-protein 1) encodes for ALK1, a member of the transforming growth factor-? receptor family, which directs pathologic angiogenesis. We examined the intratumoral expression of ACVRL1 and other angiogenesis pathway-related genes to identify molecular markers in the TRIBE study. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Of 503 randomized patients, 228 had sufficient tissue for analysis. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens were examined for expression of VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, ACVRL1, EphB4, and EGFL7 using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. A maximal ?2 approach was used to determine the messenger RNA levels associated with progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), response rate, early tumor shrinkage, and depth of response. Recursive partitioning trees were constructed to identify composite prognostic biomarker profiles. External validation was conducted in silico using the Oncomine database. RESULTS:High ACVRL1 expression was associated with superior OS in both treatment arms (FOLFOXIRI [5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan]-bevacizumab, 32.7 vs. 13.5 months, hazard ratio [HR], 0.38, P = .023; FOLFIRI [5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan]-bevacizumab, 35.1 vs. 22.0 months, HR, 0.36, P = .006) and prolonged PFS (11.7 vs. 5.9 months, multivariate HR, 0.17; P = .001) for patients receiving FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab on univariate and multivariate analyses. In recursive partitioning analysis, ACVRL1 was the strongest discriminator of the response rate, PFS, and OS in patients receiving FOLFOXIRI-bevacizumab and of OS in patients receiving FOLFIRI-bevacizumab. In silico validation revealed significant associations between ACVRL1 expression, disease recurrence, and 1-year survival (P < .05) among all colorectal cancer stages. CONCLUSION:ACVRL1 expression could serve as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and bevacizumab and warrants further evaluation in prospective studies.
