8p11.23 Amplification in Breast Cancer: Molecular Characteristics, Prognosis and Targeted Therapy.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Amplification of the locus 8p11.23 has been observed in cancer and genes of this locus, including ZNF703 (Zinc finger protein 703), NSD3 (Nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3) and FGFR1 (Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1), have been put forward as dominant oncogenes conferring pathophysiologic benefit in cancers with amplifications. However, there is no consensus on the importance of each of them or any other genes of the amplicon or even a consensus on which genes are part of the amplicon. METHODS:Publicly available data were used to characterize the locus amplified at 8p11.23 and derive information on each of the genes and roles as oncogenes. The frequency of the amplifications in the locus was examined in the cBioportal platform, and expression levels of the amplicon genes in amplified cases were derived from genomic studies reported in the platform. Examination of the influence of mRNA expressions of each gene of the locus for Recurrence-free survival in breast cancer was performed using K-M plotter. RESULTS:The 8p11.23 amplicon is present in higher frequency in squamous cell lung carcinomas, breast cancers and bladder carcinomas and is only rarely observed in other cancers. The most frequently amplified genes within the amplicon vary between different types of cancers. In breast cancer, amplified cases are most commonly of the luminal B type. Amplified genes are not always over-expressed and there is a low correlation of amplification with over-expression in amplicon genes with variation between genes. The presence of the amplicon does not influence the aneuploidy score or the tumor mutation burden of breast cancers. Regarding prognosis, the two genes of the amplicon whose mRNA hyper-expression portends adverse relapse-free survival in breast cancer are EIF4EBP1 (Eukaryotic transcription initiation factor 4E binding protein 1) and LSM1 (LSM1 homolog, mRNA degradation associated). CONCLUSION:Besides the previously proposed genes to play a role as dominant oncogenes in the 8p11.23 cancer amplified locus, other genes may also be important in breast cancer based on the high correlation of their amplification and mRNA expression and adverse prognosis conferred by over-expression, consistent with an oncogenic role.

Project description:PurposeWe used targeted capture sequencing to analyze TP53-mutated circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in metastatic breast cancer patients and to determine whether TP53 mutation has predictive value for anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) treatment for in HER2 amplification-positive patients (HER2+) and HER2 mutation-positive, amplification-negative (HER2-/mut) patients.Patients and methodsTP53 mutation features were analyzed in the Geneplus cohort (n = 1184). The MSK-BREAST cohort was used to explore the value of TP53 mutation in predicting anti-HER-2 antibody efficacy. Sequencing of ctDNA in phase Ib, phase Ic, phase II clinical trials of pyrotinib (HER2+ patients), and an investigator-initiated phase II study of pyrotinib (HER2-/mut patients) were performed to analyze the relationships between TP53 mutation and prognosis for HER2 TKIs. The MSK-BREAST cohort, MutHER, and SUMMIT cohort were used for verification.ResultsTP53 mutations were detected in 53.1% (629/1184) of patients in the Geneplus cohort. The TP53 mutation rate was higher in HR-negative (p < 0.001) and HER2 amplification-positive (p = 0.015) patients. Among patients receiving anti-HER2 antibody therapy, those whose tumors carried TP53 mutations had a shorter PFS (p = 0.004). However, the value of TP53 mutation in predicting HER2 TKI response was inconsistent. In HER2+ patients, no difference in PFS was observed among patients with different TP53 statuses in the combined analysis of the pyrotinib phase Ib, phase Ic, and phase II clinical trials (p = 1.00) or in the MSK-BREAST cohort (p = 0.62). In HER2-/mut patients, TP53 mutation-positive patients exhibited a trend toward worse prognosis with anti-HER2 TKI treatment than TP53-wild-type patients in our investigator-initiated phase II study (p = 0.15), and this trend was confirmed in the combined analysis of the MutHER and SUMMIT cohorts (p = 0.01).ConclusionsTP53 mutation can be used to identify biomarkers of anti-HER2 antibody drug resistance in HER2+ patients and HER2 TKI resistance in HER2-/mut patients.
