Clinical Significance of Hotspot Mutation Analysis of Urinary Cell-Free DNA in Urothelial Bladder Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies showed the clinical utility of next-generation sequencing of urinary cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from patients with urothelial bladder cancer (UBC). In this study, we aimed to develop urinary cfDNA analysis by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) as a high-throughput and rapid assay for UBC detection and prognosis. We analyzed urinary cfDNA of 202 samples from 2 cohorts. Test cohort was designed for investigating clinical utility of urinary cfDNA, and was composed of 74 samples from patients with UBC, and 52 samples of benign hematuria patients. Validation cohort was designed for validation and assessment of clinical utility comparing urinary cfDNA with UroVysion (Abbott, Illinois, USA), and was composed of 40 samples from patients with UBC, and 36 prospectively collected samples from patients under surveillance after surgery for urothelial carcinoma. We performed ddPCR analysis of hotspot gene mutations (TERT promoter and FGFR3). In the test cohort, the sensitivity of urinary cfDNA diagnosis was 68.9% (51/74) and the specificity was 100% in patients with UBC. The sensitivity increased to 85.9% when used in conjunction with urine cytology. In addition, patients with high TERT C228T allele frequency (?14%) had significantly worse prognosis in bladder tumor recurrence than patients with low TERT C228T allele frequency or negative TERT C228T (p = 0.0322). In the validation cohort, the sensitivity of urinary cfDNA was 57.5% (23/40) and the specificity was 100% in UBC patients. The sensitivity of the combination of urine cytology with our hotspot analysis (77.5%) was higher than that of urine cytology with UroVysion (68.9%). In the post-surgical surveillance group, patients positive for the TERT C228T mutation had significantly worse prognosis for bladder tumor recurrence than mutation negative patients (p < 0.001). In conclusion, ddPCR analysis of urinary cfDNA is a simple and promising assay for the clinical setting, surpassing UroVysion for detection and prognosis determination in UBC.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The present study sought to identify a panel of DNA markers for noninvasive diagnosis using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from urine supernatant or cellular DNA from urine sediments of hematuria patients. A panel of 48 bladder cancer-specific genes was selected. A next-generation sequencing-based assay with a cfDNA barcode-enabled single-molecule test was employed. Mutation profiles of blood, urine, and tumor sample from 16 bladder cancer patients were compared. Next, urinary cellular DNA and cfDNA were prospectively collected from 125 patients (92 bladder cancer cases and 33 controls) and analyzed using the 48-gene panel. The individual gene markers and combinations of markers were validated according to the pathology results. The mean areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUCs) obtained with the various modeling approaches were calculated and compared. RESULTS:This pilot study of 16 bladder cancer patients demonstrated that gene mutations in urine supernatant and sediments had better concordance with cancer tissue as compared with plasma. Logistic analyses suggested two powerful combinations of genes for genetic diagnostic modeling: five genes for urine supernatant (TERT, FGFR3, TP53, PIK3CA, and KRAS) and seven genes for urine sediments (TERT, FGFR3, TP53, HRAS, PIK3CA, KRAS, and ERBB2). The accuracy of the five-gene panel and the seven-gene panel in the validation cohort yielded AUCs of 0.94 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.91-0.97] and 0.91 (95% CI 0.86-0.96), respectively. With the addition of age and gender, the diagnostic power of the urine supernatant five-gene model and the urine sediment seven-gene model improved as the revised AUCs were 0.9656 (95% CI 0.9368-0.9944) and 0.9587 (95% CI 0.9291-0.9883). CONCLUSIONS:cfDNA from urine bears great diagnostic potential. A five-gene panel for urine supernatant and a seven-gene panel for urine sediments are promising options for identifying bladder cancer in hematuria patients.
