Y Chromosome LncRNA Are Involved in Radiation Response of Male Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Numerous studies have implicated changes in the Y chromosome in male cancers, yet few have investigated the biological importance of Y chromosome noncoding RNA. Here we identify a group of Y chromosome-expressed long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that are involved in male non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) radiation sensitivity. Radiosensitive male NSCLC cell lines demonstrated a dose-dependent induction of linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 following irradiation, which was not observed in radioresistant male NSCLC cell lines. Cytogenetics revealed the loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in the radioresistant male NSCLC cell lines. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments indicated that linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 transcripts affect cell viability and apoptosis. Computational prediction of RNA binding proteins (RBP) motifs and UV-cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) assays identified IGF2BP3, an RBP involved in mRNA stability, as a binding partner for linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 RNA. The presence of linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 reduced the half-life of known IGF2BP3 binding mRNA, such as the antiapoptotic HMGA2 mRNA, as well as the oncogenic c-MYC mRNA. Assessment of Y chromosome in NSCLC tissue microarrays and expression of linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 in NSCLC RNA-seq and microarray data revealed a negative correlation between the loss of the Y chromosome or linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 and overall survival. Thus, linc-SPRY3-2/3/4 expression and LOY could represent an important marker of radiotherapy in NSCLC. SIGNIFICANCE: This study describes previously unknown Y chromosome-expressed lncRNA regulators of radiation response in male NSCLC and show a correlation between loss of chromosome Y and radioresistance.

Project description:PURPOSE:To assess the utility of circulating serum microRNAs (c-miRNAs) to predict response to high-dose radiation therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS AND MATERIALS:Data from 80 patients treated from 2004 to 2013 with definitive standard- or high-dose radiation therapy for stages II-III NSCLC as part of 4 prospective institutional clinical trials were evaluated. Pretreatment serum levels of 62 miRNAs were measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction array. We combined miRNA data and clinical factors to generate a dose-response score (DRS) for predicting overall survival (OS) after high-dose versus standard-dose radiation therapy. Elastic net Cox regression was used for variable selection and parameter estimation. Model assessment and tuning parameter selection were performed through full cross-validation. The DRS was also correlated with local progression, distant metastasis, and grade 3 or higher cardiac toxicity using Cox regression, and grade 2 or higher esophageal and pulmonary toxicity using logistic regression. RESULTS:Eleven predictive miRNAs were combined with clinical factors to generate a DRS for each patient. In patients with low DRS, high-dose radiation therapy was associated with significantly improved OS compared to treatment with standard-dose radiation therapy (hazard ratio 0.22). In these patients, high-dose radiation also conferred lower risk of distant metastasis and local progression, although the latter association was not statistically significant. Patients with high DRS exhibited similar rates of OS regardless of dose (hazard ratio 0.78). The DRS did not correlate with treatment-related toxicity. CONCLUSIONS:Using c-miRNA signature and clinical factors, we developed a DRS that identified a subset of patients with locally advanced NSCLC who derive an OS benefit from high-dose radiation therapy. This DRS may guide dose escalation in a patient-specific manner.
