Integrating genetic mutations and expression profiles for survival prediction of lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a set of heterogeneous diseases with distinct genetic and transcriptomic characteristics. Since the introduction of the 2011 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society histologic classification, increasing evidence has provided insights into genomic mutations and rearrangements among individual histologic subtypes of LUAD. However, how genotypic and phenotypic features of LUAD are interconnected is not well understood.

Methods

We obtained the genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data sets of 488 LUAD patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Advanced statistical models were used to disentangle the interactions between genetic mutations and expression profiles, and to assess the alterations and changes in expression of each histologic subtype. The prognostic impacts of genetic mutations, expression profiles, and clinicopathological features were integrated to predict the outcomes of LUAD patients.

Results

From our data, one or more genetic mutations correlate with expression levels of 6054/18175 (33.3%) genes and explain 8-40% of observed variability in LUAD. The genetic mutations and expression profiles varied remarkably among the histologic subtypes of LUAD, which helped to explain the different prognostic impact based on subtype classification. Genomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data were all shown to have utility for predicting overall and recurrence-free survival, with the largest contribution from the transcriptome.

Conclusion

Our prediction model integrating genetic mutations, expression profiles, and clinicopathological features exhibited superior accuracy over the current tumor node metastasis staging system to prognosticate outcomes of patients with LUAD (overall survival 67% vs. 55%, recurrence-free survival 57% vs. 49%; P?

Project description:The association of lung cancer with changes in microRNAs in plasma shown in multiple studies suggests a utility for circulating microRNA biomarkers in non-invasive detection of the disease. We examined if presence of lung cancer is reflected in whole blood microRNA expression as well, possibly because of a systemic response. Locked nucleic acid microarrays were used to quantify the global expression of microRNAs in whole blood of 22 patients with lung adenocarcinoma and 23 controls, ten of whom had a radiographically detected non-cancerous lung nodule and the other 13 were at high risk for developing lung cancer because of a smoking history of >20 pack-years. Cases and controls differed significantly for age with a mean difference of 10.7 years, but not for gender, race, smoking history, blood hemoglobin, platelet count, or white blood cell count. Of 1282 quantified human microRNAs, 395 (31%) were identified as expressed in the study's subjects, with 96 (24%) differentially expressed between cases and controls. Classification analyses of microRNA expression data were performed using linear kernel support vector machines (SVM) and top-scoring pairs (TSP) methods, and classifiers to identify presence of lung adenocarcinoma were internally cross-validated. In leave-one-out cross-validation, the TSP classifiers had sensitivity and specificity of 91% and 100%, respectively. The values with SVM were both 91%. In a Monte Carlo cross-validation, average sensitivity and specificity values were 86% and 97%, respectively, with TSP, and 88% and 89%, respectively, with SVM. MicroRNAs miR-190b, miR-630, miR-942, and miR-1284 were the most frequent constituents of the classifiers generated during the analyses. These results suggest that whole blood microRNA expression profiles can be used to distinguish lung cancer cases from clinically relevant controls. Further studies are needed to validate this observation, including in non-adenocarcinomatous lung cancers, and to clarify upon the confounding effect of age.
