Mutation profile of non-small cell lung cancer revealed by next generation sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Precision therapy for lung cancer requires comprehensive genomic analyses. Specific effects of targeted therapies have been reported in Asia populations, including Taiwanese, but genomic studies have rarely been performed in these populations.

Method

We enrolled 72 patients with non-small cell lung cancer, of whom 61 had adenocarcinoma, 10 had squamous cell carcinoma, and 1 had combined adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Whole-exome or targeted gene sequencing was performed. To identify trunk mutations, we performed whole-exome sequencing in two tumor regions in four patients.

Results

Nineteen known driver mutations in EGFR, PIK3CA, KRAS, CTNNB1, and MET were identified in 34 of the 72 tumors evaluated (47.22%). A comparison with the Cancer Genome Atlas dataset showed that EGFR was mutated at a much higher frequency in our cohort than in Caucasians, whereas KRAS and TP53 mutations were found in only 5.56% and 25% of our Taiwanese patients, respectively. We also identified new mutations in ARID1A, ARID2, CDK12, CHEK2, GNAS, H3F3A, KDM6A, KMT2C, NOTCH1, RB1, RBM10, RUNX1, SETD2, SF3B1, SMARCA4, THRAP3, TP53, and ZMYM2. Moreover, all ClinVar pathogenic variants were trunk mutations present in two regions of a tumor. RNA sequencing revealed that the trunk or branch genes were expressed at similar levels among different tumor regions.

Conclusions

We identified novel variants potentially associated with lung cancer tumorigenesis. The specific mutation pattern in Taiwanese patients with non-small cell lung cancer may influence targeted therapies.

Project description:Penile cancer (PeCa) is a relatively rare tumor entity but possesses higher morbidity and mortality rates especially in developing countries. To date, the concrete pathogenic signaling pathways and core machineries involved in tumorigenesis and progression of PeCa remain to be elucidated. Several studies suggested miRNAs, which modulate gene expression at posttranscriptional level, were frequently mis-regulated and aberrantly expressed in human cancers. However, the miRNA profile in human PeCa has not been reported before. In this present study, the miRNA profile was obtained from 10 fresh penile cancerous tissues and matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues via next-generation sequencing. As a result, a total of 751 and 806 annotated miRNAs were identified in normal and cancerous penile tissues, respectively. Among which, 56 miRNAs with significantly different expression levels between paired tissues were identified. Subsequently, several annotated miRNAs were selected randomly and validated using quantitative real-time PCR. Compared with the previous publications regarding to the altered miRNAs expression in various cancers and especially genitourinary (prostate, bladder, kidney, testis) cancers, the most majority of deregulated miRNAs showed the similar expression pattern in penile cancer. Moreover, the bioinformatics analyses suggested that the putative target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs between cancerous and matched normal penile tissues were tightly associated with cell junction, proliferation, growth as well as genomic instability and so on, by modulating Wnt, MAPK, p53, PI3K-Akt, Notch and TGF-? signaling pathways, which were all well-established to participate in cancer initiation and progression. Our work presents a global view of the differentially expressed miRNAs and potentially regulatory networks of their target genes for clarifying the pathogenic transformation of normal penis to PeCa, which research resource also provides new insights into future investigations aimed to explore the in-depth mechanisms of miRNAs and other small RNAs including piRNAs in penile carcinogenesis regulation and effective target-specific theragnosis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are considered to be involved in the pathogenic initiation and progression of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP); however, the comprehensive expression profile of dysregulated miRNAs, relevant signaling pathways, and core machineries in CNP have not been fully elucidated. In the current research, CNP rat models were established through the intraprostatic injection of carrageenan into the prostate. Then, next-generation sequencing was performed to explore the miRNA expression profile in CNP. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) bioinformatical analyses were conducted to reveal the enriched biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components and signaling pathways. As a result, 1224, 1039, and 1029 known miRNAs were annotated in prostate tissues from the blank control (BC), normal saline injection (NS), and carrageenan injection (CAR) groups (n = 3 for each group), respectively. Among them, 84 miRNAs (CAR vs BC) and 70 miRNAs (CAR vs NS) with significantly different expression levels were identified. Compared with previously reported miRNAs with altered expression in various inflammatory diseases, the majority of deregulated miRNAs in CNP, such as miR-146b-5p, miR-155-5p, miR-150-5p, and miR-139-5p, showed similar expression patterns. Moreover, bioinformatics analyses have enriched mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), endocytosis, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and forkhead box O (FoxO) signaling pathways. These pathways were all involved in immune response, which indicates the critical regulatory role of the immune system in CNP initiation and progression. Our investigation has presented a global view of the differentially expressed miRNAs and potential regulatory networks containing their target genes, which may be helpful for identifying the novel mechanisms of miRNAs in immune regulation and effective target-specific theragnosis for CNP.

Project description:Cancer testis antigens (CTAs) are of clinical interest as biomarkers and present valuable targets for immunotherapy. To comprehensively characterize the CTA landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we compared RNAseq data of 199 NSCLC tissues to the normal transcriptome of 142 samples from 32 different normal organs. Of 232 CTAs currently annotated in the CTdatabase, 96 were confirmed in NSCLC. To obtain an unbiased CTA profile of NSCLC, we applied stringent criteria on our RNAseq data set and defined 90 genes as CTAs, of which 55 genes were not annotated in the CTdatabase. Cluster analysis revealed that CTA expression is histology-dependent and concurrent expression is common. Immunohistochemistry confirmed tissue specific protein expression of selected genes. Furthermore, methylation was identified as a regulatory mechanism of CTA expression based on independent data from the Cancer Genome Atlas. The proposed prognostic impact of CTAs in lung cancer, was not confirmed, neither in our RNAseq-cohort nor in an independent meta-analysis of 1117 NSCLC cases. Fresh frozen tumor tissue from 199 patients diagnosed with NSCLC and surgically treated 2006-2010 at the Uppsala University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden and 19 paired normal lung tissues. Clinical data were retrieved from the regional lung cancer registry.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficacy of adjuvant targeted therapy for operable lung cancer is still under debate. Comprehensive genetic profiling is needed for detecting co-mutations in resected epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), which may interfere the efficacy of adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment.Materials and methodsMutation profiling of 416 cancer-relevant genes was conducted for 139 resected stage I-IIIa lung ADCs with EGFR mutations using targeted next-generation sequencing. Co-mutation profiles were systematically analyzed.ResultsRare EGFR alterations other than exon 19 deletion and L858R, such as L861Q (∼3%) and G719A (∼2%), were identified at low frequencies. Approximately 10% of patients had mutations in EGFR exon 20 that could confer resistance to first-generation TKIs. Ninety-one percent of patients harbored at least one co-mutation in addition to the major EGFR mutation. TP53 was the top mutated gene and was found more frequently mutated at later stage. Markedly, NF1 mutations were found only in stage II-III ADCs. Conversely, RB1 mutations were more frequent in stage I ADCs, whereas APC mutations were observed exclusively in this group. Thirty-four percent of patients with EGFR TKI-sensitizing mutations had genetic alterations involving EGFR downstream effectors or bypass pathways that could affect the response to EGFR TKIs, such as PIK3CA, BRCA1, and NOTCH1.ConclusionOperable lung ADCs with EGFR TKI-sensitizing mutations are associated with a high proportion of co-mutations. Mutation profiling of these resected tumors could facilitate in determining the applicability and efficacy of adjuvant EGFR TKI therapeutic strategy.Implications for practiceThe efficacy of adjuvant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation after surgical resection is still under debate. Next-generation sequencing of 416 cancer-relevant genes in 139 resected lung cancers revealed the co-mutational landscape with background EGFR mutation. Notably, the study identified potential EGFR TKI-resistant mutations in 34.71% of patients with a drug-sensitizing EGFR mutation and who were naive in terms of targeted therapy. A comprehensive mutation profiling of these resected tumors could facilitate in determining the applicability and efficacy of adjuvant EGFR TKI therapeutic strategy for these patients.

Project description:Introduction:Data of standard tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment outcome in next-generation sequencing (NGS)-identified ROS1-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were rare. Thus, it is practical and necessary to evaluate the efficacy and influential factors of crizotinib in real-world practice. Patients and methods:A total of 1,466 NSCLC patients with positive targeted NGS test results from September 2015 to January 2018 were enrolled in this real-world retrospective study. Twenty-two patients had ROS1 rearrangement detected by NGS. The efficacy and safety of crizotinib were evaluated. Subgroups of concomitant mutations, brain metastasis, and fusion variants were also analyzed. Results:Among all the patients, the occurrence rate of ROS1 rearrangement was 1.5% (22 of 1,466). Ten ROS1 fusion partners were detected, and the most common variant was CD74, which accounted for 50% (11 of 22). Five patients were found to carry dual ROS1 fusion partners, and 23% (5 of 22) of patients were detected with concomitant mutations, including TP53&PIK3CA&mTOR mutation, TP53&CDKN2A mutation, TP53&BRCA2 mutation, ALK missense mutation (p.R311H), and MET amplification. Among 22 patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC, 20 patients were diagnosed at stage IV, and 19 patients received crizotinib treatment. The average follow-up period was 16 months. The overall response rate (ORR) of crizotinib in unselected crizotinib-treated patients was 89%, and the median progression-free survival time (mPFS) was 13.6 months. It was shown that NSCLC patients with exclusive ROS1 rearrangement had a longer PFS than those carrying concomitant mutations (15.5 vs 8.5 months, P=0.0213). There were no newly occurring intolerant adverse events in this study. Conclusion:Crizotinib is highly effective in NGS-identified ROS1-rearranged advanced NSCLC in real-word clinical practice, and the data are consistent with previous clinical trials applying fluorescence in situ hybridization/real-time PCR for ROS1 companion diagnosis. Concomitant mutations may not be rare and may deteriorate the PFS of crizotinib in patients with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC.
