Reproduction of molecular subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma by transcriptome sequencing of archival tissue.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is a heterogeneous disease, so molecular classification is important for selecting the most appropriate treatment strategies for GC patients. To be applicable in the clinic, there is an urgent need for a platform that will allow screening real-life archival tissue specimens. For this purpose, we performed RNA sequencing of 50 samples from our Asian Cancer Research Group (ACRG) GC cohort to reproduce the molecular subtypes of GC using archival tissues with different platforms. We filtered out genes from the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and microsatellite instability-high (MSI) signatures (coefficient???0.4) followed by the ACRG molecular subtype strategy. Overall accuracy of reproduction of ACRG subtype was 66% (33/50). Given the importance of EMT subtype in future clinical trials, we further developed the minimum number of genes (10 genes) for EMT signatures correlating highly with the original EMT signatures (correlation???0.65). Using our 10-gene model, we could classify EMT subtypes with high sensitivity (0.9576) and specificity (0.811). In conclusion, we reproduced ACRG GC subtypes using different platforms and could predict EMT subtypes with 10 genes and are now planning to use them in our prospective clinical study of precision oncology in GC.

Project description:BackgroundAT-rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) is an essential subunit of the switch/sucrose non-fermentable chromatin remodeling complex and is considered to be a tumor suppressor. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) molecular classification has deepened our understanding of gastric cancer at the molecular level. This study explored the significance of ARID1A expression in TCGA subtypes of gastric adenocarcinoma.MethodsWe collected 1248 postoperative patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, constructed tissue microarrays, performed immunohistochemistry for ARID1A, and obtained correlations between ARID1A and clinicopathological variables. We then carried out the prognostic analysis of ARID1A in TCGA subtypes. Finally, we screened patients by random sampling and propensity score matching method and performed multiplex immunofluorescence to explore the effects of ARID1A on CD4, CD8, and PD-L1 expression in TCGA subtypes.ResultsSeven variables independently associated with ARID1A were screened out: mismatch repair proteins, PD-L1, T stage, differentiation status, p53, E-cadherin, and EBER. The independent prognostic variables in the genomically stable (GS) subtype were N stage, M stage, T stage, chemotherapy, size, and ARID1A. PD-L1 expression was higher in the ARID1A negative group than in the ARID1A positive group in all TCGA subgroups. CD4 showed higher expression in the ARID1A negative group in most subtypes, while CD8 did not show the difference in most subtypes. When ARID1A was negative, PD-L1 expression was positively correlated with CD4/CD8 expression; while when ARID1A was positive, this correlation disappeared.ConclusionsThe negative expression of ARID1A occurred more frequently in the Epstein-Barr virus and microsatellite instability subtypes and was an independent adverse prognostic factor in the GS subtype. In the TCGA subtypes, ARID1A negative expression caused increased CD4 and PD-L1 expression, whereas CD8 expression appeared independent of ARID1A. The expression of CD4/CD8 induced by ARID1A negativity was accompanied by an increase in PD-L1 expression.
