Prognostic Molecular Classification of Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms Treated with Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (AMN) with peritoneal metastasis is a rare but deadly disease with few prognostic or therapy-predictive biomarkers to guide treatment decisions. Here, we investigated the prognostic and biological attributes of gene expression-based AMN molecular subtypes.

Methods

AMN specimens (n = 138) derived from a population-based subseries of patients treated at our institution with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) between 05/2000 and 05/2013 were analyzed for gene expression using a custom-designed NanoString 148-gene panel. Signed non-negative matrix factorization (sNMF) was used to define a gene signature capable of delineating robustly-classified AMN molecular subtypes. The sNMF class assignments were evaluated by topology learning, reverse-graph embedding and cross-cohort performance analysis.

Results

Three molecular subtypes of AMN were discerned by the expression patterns of 17 genes with roles in cancer progression or anti-tumor immunity. Tumor subtype assignments were confirmed by topology learning. AMN subtypes were termed immune-enriched (IE), oncogene-enriched (OE) and mixed (M) as evidenced by their gene expression patterns, and exhibited significantly different post-treatment survival outcomes. Genes with specialized immune functions, including markers of T-cells, natural killer cells, B-cells, and cytolytic activity showed increased expression in the low-risk IE subtype, while genes implicated in the promotion of cancer growth and progression were more highly expressed in the high-risk OE subtype. In multivariate analysis, the subtypes demonstrated independent prediction power for post-treatment survival.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest a greater role for the immune system in AMN than previously recognized. AMN subtypes may have clinical utility for predicting CRS/HIPEC treatment outcomes.
