Prevalence of the Brazilian TP53 Founder c.1010G>A (p.Arg337His) in Lung Adenocarcinoma: Is Genotyping Warranted in All Brazilian Patients?

ABSTRACT: In Southern and Southeastern Brazil, there is a germline pathogenic variant with incomplete penetrance located in the oligomerization domain of TP53, c.1010G>A (p.Arg337His). Due to a founder effect, the variant is present in 0.3% of the general population of the region. Recently, this variant was identified in 4.4 and 8.9% of two apparently unselected, single center case series of Brazilian lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients from the Southeastern and Central regions of the country, respectively. In the present study, our aim was to examine TP53 c.1010G>A allele and genotype frequencies in LUAD samples obtained from patients diagnosed in Southern Brazil. A total of 586 LUAD samples (tumor DNA) recruited from multiple centers in the region were tested, and the mutant allele was identified using TaqMan^® assays in seven cases (7/586, 1.2%) which were submitted to next generation sequencing analyses for confirmation. Somatic EGFR mutations were more frequent in TP53 c.1010G>A carriers than in non-carriers (57.1 vs. 17.6%, respectively). Further studies are needed to confirm if TP53 c.1010G>A is a driver in LUAD carcinogenesis and to verify if there is a combined effect of EGFR and germline TP53 c.1010G>A. Although variant frequency was higher than observed in the general population, it is less than previously reported in LUAD patients from other Brazilian regions. Additional data, producing regional allele frequency information in larger series of patients and including cost-effectiveness analyses, are necessary to determine if TP53 c.1010G>A screening in all Brazilian LUAD patients is justified.

Project description:BackgroundThe TP53 tumor suppressor gene is one of the most mutated genes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and plays a vital role in regulating the occurrence and progression of cancer. We aimed to elucidate the association between TP53 mutations, response to immunotherapies and the prognosis of LUAD.MethodsGenomic, transcriptomic, and clinical data of LUAD were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. Gene ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Gene set variation analysis (GSVA) were performed to determine the differences in biological pathways. A merged protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and analyzed. MSIpred was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of the TP53 gene, tumor mutation burden (TMB) and tumor microsatellite instability (MSI). CIBERSORT was used to calculate the abundance of immune cells. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine the prognostic value of TP53 mutations in LUAD.ResultsTP53 was the most frequently mutated in LUAD, with a mutational frequency of 48%. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis, GSEA, and GSVA results showed a significant upregulation of several signaling pathways, including PI3K-AKT mTOR (P < 0.05), Notch (P < 0.05), E2F target (NES = 1.8, P < 0.05), and G2M checkpoint (NES = 1.7, P < 0.05). Moreover, we found a significant correlation between T cells, plasma cells, and TP53 mutations (R2 < 0.01, P = 0.040). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that the survival prognosis of LUAD patients was related to TP53 mutations (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 0.72 [95% CI, 0.53 to 0.98], P < 0.05), cancer status (P < 0.05), and treatment outcomes (P < 0.05). Lastly, the Cox regression models showed that TP53 exhibited good power in predicting three- and five-year survival rates.ConclusionsTP53 may be an independent predictor of response to immunotherapy in LUAD, and patients with TP53 mutations have higher immunogenicity and immune cell infiltration.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough TP53 co-mutation with KRAS/ATM/EGFR/STK11 have been proved to have predictive value for response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), not all TP53 mutations are equal in this context. As the main part of TP53 mutant types, Missense and Nonsense alternations in TP53 as independent factors to predict the response to ICIs within Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients have not yet been reported.MethodsAn integrated analysis based on multiple-dimensional data types including genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and clinical data from published lung adenocarcinoma data and local database of LUAD taking immune checkpoint inhibitors. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to determine potentially relevant gene expression signatures between specific subgroups. Single-sample GSEA (GSVA) is conducted to calculate the score for enrichment of a set of genes regulating DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway.FindingsThe TP53-missense-mutation group showed increased PD-L1 (CD274) level and enriched IFN-γ signatures compared with the TP53-wild-type subgroup, but no differences were noted in patients with nonsense-mutant vs wild-type p53. Furthermore, a group of suppressor Immune cells like M2 Macrophage and Neutrophils are found enriched in nonsense group. On the other-side, both TP53 missense and nonsense mutations are associated with elevated TMB and neoantigen levels and contribute equally to DNA damage repair deficiency. The distribution regarding to multi-dimensional factors determining the efficacy of ICIs finally transformed into diverse clinical benefits for LUAD. TP53 missense but not -nonsense Mutants are associated with better clinical benefits taking antiPD-1/1L. However, all such TP53 subgroups responds well to nivolumab (antiPD-L1) plus ipilimumab (antiCTLA-4) therapy.InterpretationOur study demonstrated that not all TP53 mutations are equal in predicting efficacy in patients with LUAD treated with ICIs. Multi-center data showed that TP53 missense and nonsense mutations were significantly different in terms of associations with PD-L1 expression, IFN-γ signatures and TME composition. Special attention should be paid to potential TP53 mutation heterogeneity when evaluating TP53 status as biomarker for ICIs.FundingThe study was supported by Key Lab System Project of Guangdong Science and Technology Department - Guangdong Provincial Key Lab of Translational Medicine in Lung Cancer (Grant No. 2017B030314120, to Yi-Long WU).
