Identification of serum biomarkers to predict pemetrexed/platinum chemotherapy efficacy for advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients by data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry analysis with parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) verification.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pemetrexed/platinum chemotherapy has been the standard chemotherapy regimen for lung adenocarcinoma patients, but the efficacy varies considerably.

Methods

To discover new serum biomarkers to predict the efficacy of pemetrexed/platinum chemotherapy, we analyzed 20 serum samples from advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients who received pemetrexed/platinum chemotherapy with the data-independent acquisition (DIA) quantitative mass spectrometry (MS).

Results

The 20 patients were categorized as "good response" [12 patients achieving partial response (PR)] and "poor response" [8 patients with progressive disease (PD)] groups. Altogether 23 significantly different expressed proteins were identified, which had relative ratios higher than 1.2 or lower than -0.83, with 7 proteins having an area under the curve (AUC) above 0.8. To further validate the DIA results, we used the parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) method to examine 16 candidate serum biomarkers in the study cohort of 20 patients and another cohort of 22 advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients (16 PR and 6 PD). Quantitative validation using PRM correlated well with the DIA results, and 10 promising proteins exhibited a similar up- or downregulation. It is worth noting that glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) exhibits significant upregulation in the poor response group compared with the good response group, which was validated by both DIA and PRM methods.

Conclusions

Our study confirmed that combined DIA MS and PRM approaches were effective in identifying serum predictive biomarkers for advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients. Further studies are needed to explore the potential biological mechanism underlying these biomarkers.

Project description:Targeted high-resolution and accurate mass analyses performed on fast sequencing mass spectrometers have opened new avenues for quantitative proteomics. More specifically, parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) implemented on quadrupole-orbitrap instruments exhibits exquisite selectivity to discriminate interferences from analytes. Furthermore, the instrument trapping capability enhances the sensitivity of the measurements. The PRM technique, applied to the analysis of limited peptide sets (typically 50 peptides or less) in a complex matrix, resulted in an improved detection and quantification performance as compared with the reference method of selected reaction monitoring performed on triple quadrupole instruments. However, the implementation of PRM for the analysis of large peptide numbers requires the adjustment of mass spectrometry acquisition parameters, which affects dramatically the quality of the generated data, and thus the overall output of an experiment. A newly designed data acquisition scheme enabled the analysis of moderate-to-large peptide numbers while retaining a high performance level. This new method, called internal standard triggered-parallel reaction monitoring (IS-PRM), relies on added internal standards and the on-the-fly adjustment of acquisition parameters to drive in real-time measurement of endogenous peptides. The acquisition time management was designed to maximize the effective time devoted to measure the analytes in a time-scheduled targeted experiment. The data acquisition scheme alternates between two PRM modes: a fast low-resolution "watch mode" and a "quantitative mode" using optimized parameters ensuring data quality. The IS-PRM method exhibited a highly effective use of the instrument time. Applied to the analysis of large peptide sets (up to 600) in complex samples, the method showed an unprecedented combination of scale and analytical performance, with limits of quantification in the low amol range. The successful analysis of various types of biological samples augurs a broad applicability of the method, which is likely to benefit a wide range of proteomics experiments.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough pemetrexed plus cis/carboplatin has become the most effective chemotherapy regimen for patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma, predictive biomarkers are not yet available, and new tools to identify chemosensitive patients who would likely benefit from this treatment are desperately needed. In this study, we constructed and validated predictive peptide models using the serum peptidome profiles of two datasets.MethodsOne hundred eighty-three patients treated with first-line platinum-based pemetrexed treatment for advanced lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively enrolled and randomized into the training (n = 92) or validation (n = 91) set, and pre-treatment serum samples were analyzed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and ClinProTools software. Serum peptidome profiles from the training set were used to identify potential predictive peptide biomarkers and construct a predictive peptide model for accurate group discrimination; which was then used to classify validation samples into "good" and "poor" outcome groups. The clinical outcomes of objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed based on the classification result.ResultsEight potential peptide biomarkers were identified. A predictive peptide model based on four distinct m/z features (2,142.12, 3,316.19, 4,281.94, and 6,624.02 Da) was developed based on the clinical outcomes of training set patients after first-line pemetrexed plus platinum treatment. In the validation set, the good group had significantly higher ORR (49.1% vs. 8.3%, P <0.001) and DCR (96.4% vs. 47.2%, P <0.001), and longer PFS (7.3 months vs. 2.7 months, P <0.001) vs. the poor group. However, the model did not predict OS (13.6 months vs. 12.7 months, P = 0.0675).ConclusionOur predictive peptide model could predict pemetrexed plus platinum treatment outcomes in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and might thus facilitate appropriate patient selection. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Project description:BackgroundClinical samples are irreplaceable, and their transformation into searchable and reusable digital biobanks is critical for conducting statistically empowered retrospective and integrative research studies. Currently, mainly data-independent acquisition strategies are employed to digitize clinical sample cohorts comprehensively. However, the sensitivity of DIA is limited, which is why selected marker candidates are often additionally measured targeted by parallel reaction monitoring.MethodsHere, we applied the recently co-developed hybrid-PRM/DIA technology as a new intelligent data acquisition strategy that allows for the comprehensive digitization of rare clinical samples at the proteotype level. Hybrid-PRM/DIA enables enhanced measurement sensitivity for a specific set of analytes of current clinical interest by the intelligent triggering of multiplexed parallel reaction monitoring (MSxPRM) in combination with the discovery-driven digitization of the clinical biospecimen using DIA. Heavy-labeled reference peptides were utilized as triggers for MSxPRM and monitoring of endogenous peptides.ResultsWe first evaluated hybrid-PRM/DIA in a clinical context on a pool of 185 selected proteotypic peptides for tumor-associated antigens derived from 64 annotated human protein groups. We demonstrated improved reproducibility and sensitivity for the detection of endogenous peptides, even at lower concentrations near the detection limit. Up to 179 MSxPRM scans were shown not to affect the overall DIA performance. Next, we applied hybrid-PRM/DIA for the integrated digitization of biobanked melanoma samples using a set of 30 AQUA peptides against 28 biomarker candidates with relevance in molecular tumor board evaluations of melanoma patients. Within the DIA-detected approximately 6500 protein groups, the selected marker candidates such as UFO, CDK4, NF1, and PMEL could be monitored consistently and quantitatively using MSxPRM scans, providing additional confidence for supporting future clinical decision-making.ConclusionsCombining PRM and DIA measurements provides a new strategy for the sensitive and reproducible detection of protein markers from patients currently being discussed in molecular tumor boards in combination with the opportunity to discover new biomarker candidates.
