Development of KAM score to predict metastasis and worse survival in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT: Some may think that prediction of metastasis is meaningless since metastatic breast cancer is currently incurable. We argue that effective identification of developing metastasis will enable us to design and conduct clinical trials specifically targeting those patients at high risk. The current study sought to generate the KAM score by 4 genes (BRSK2, EYA1, SIGLEC15, and AGTR1) overexpressed in primary breast cancer that developed metastasis to bone compared with matched controls without metastasis longer than 10 years. A high KAM score was prognostic of poor overall (OS), disease free survival (DFS), and disease specific survival (DSS) in the METABRIC, and OS in the GSE96058 cohorts. A high KAM score was significantly associated with clinical aggressiveness, such as high American Joint Committee Cancer (AJCC) stage, lymph node metastasis, Nottingham pathological grade, and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Subgroup analysis revealed that a high KAM score was associated with worse OS in ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer in both cohorts. A high KAM breast cancer enriched all 5 cell proliferation-related gene sets of the Hallmark collection and interferon (IFN)-γ response gene sets. Furthermore, a high KAM breast cancer was significantly infiltrated with a high fraction of not only anti-cancer but also pro-cancer immune cells and associated with high level of cytolytic activity. Finally, a high KAM breast cancer was significantly associated with lung metastasis. In conclusion, we developed KAM score using 4 gene expressions that predict lung metastasis and patient survival in breast cancer.

A Novel 4-Gene Score to Predict Survival, Distant Metastasis and Response to Neoadjuvant Therapy in Breast Cancer.

Project description:We generated a 4-gene score with genes upregulated in LM2-4, a metastatic variant of MDA-MB-231 (DOK 4, HCCS, PGF, and SHCBP1) that was strongly associated with disease-free survival (DFS) in TCGA cohort (hazard ratio [HR]>1.2, p < 0.02). The 4-gene score correlated with overall survival of TCGA (HR = 1 .44, p < 0 .001), which was validated with DFS and disease-specific survival of METABRIC cohort. The 4-gene score was able to predict worse survival or clinically aggressive tumors, such as high Nottingham pathological grade and advanced cancer staging. High score was associated with worse survival in the hormonal receptor (HR)-positive/Her2-negative subtype. High score enriched cell proliferation-related gene sets in GSEA. The score was high in primary tumors that originated, in and metastasized to, brain and lung, and it predicted worse progression-free survival for metastatic tumors. Good tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy or hormonal therapy was accompanied by score reduction. High scores were also predictive of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for HR-positive/Her2-negative subtype. High score tumors had increased expression of T cell exhaustion marker genes, suggesting that the score may also be a biomarker for immunotherapy response. Our novel 4-gene score with both prognostic and predictive values may, therefore, be clinically useful particularly in HR-positive breast cancer.

HER2 exon 27 mutations predict worse survival of breast cancer patients, especially in HER2-negative patients.

Project description:The aims of this study were to assess the prognostic value of the HER2 exon 27 mutations in breast cancer patients. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leukocytes, and then HER2 exon 27 mutations were detected by direct sequencing. Survival curves were estimated by Kaplan-Meier curves and the differences between the curves were compared by log-rank tests. A total cohort of 892 female patients with operable primary breast cancer was included in this study. The median follow-up was 47 months. Of these 892 patients, 3.7% (33/892) had HER2 exon 27 mutations. Patients with the HER2 exon 27 mutations had a significant worse recurrence-free survival (RFS, unadjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.42; 95% CI: 1.05-5.58; P = 0.032) and distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS, unadjusted HR 2.81; 95% CI: 1.21-6.50; P = 0.012) than the patients with the wild-type exon 27. Among the 673 patients with negative HER2 expression, 24 mutants were found. Patients with the HER2 mutations showed a worse RFS (unadjusted HR 5.08; 95% CI: 2.14-12.02; P < 0.001) and DRFS (unadjusted HR 5.62; 95% CI: 2.36-13.40; P < 0.001) than those patients with the wild-type exon 27. Furthermore, the mutations remained as unfavorable independent predictors for RFS and DRFS. Breast cancer patients with HER2 exon 27 mutations have a worse survival, especially in HER2-negative patients. HER2-negative patients with HER2 exon 27 mutations are potential subgroup of breast cancer patients benefiting from HER2-targeted therapy in future.

Score for the Survival Probability in Metastasis Breast Cancer: A Nomogram-Based Risk Assessment Model.

Project description:PURPOSE:Survival of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patient remains unknown and varies greatly from person to person. Thus, we aimed to construct a nomogram to quantify the survival probability of patients with MBC. Materials and Methods:We had included 793 MBC patients and calculated trends of case fatality rate by Kaplan-Meier method and joinpoint regression. Six hundred thirty-four patients with MBC between January 2004 and July 2011 and 159 patients with MBC between August 2011 and July 2013 were assigned to training cohort and internal validation cohort, respectively. We constructed the nomogram based on the results of univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses in the training cohort and validated the nomogram in the validation cohort. Concordance index and calibration curves were used to assess the effectiveness of nomogram. RESULTS:Case fatality rate of MBC was increasing (annual percentage change [APC], 21.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0 to 46.3; p < 0.05) in the first 18 months and then decreased (APC, ‒4.5; 95% CI, ‒8.2 to ‒0.7; p < 0.05). Metastasis-free interval, age, metastasis location, and hormone receptor status were independent prognostic factors and were included in the nomogram, which had a concordance index of 0.69 in the training cohort and 0.67 in the validation cohort. Calibration curves indicated good consistency between the two cohorts at 1 and 3 years. CONCLUSION:In conclusion, the fatality risk of MBC was increasing and reached the summit between 13th and 18th month afterthe detection of MBC. We have developed and validated a nomogram to predict the 1- and 3-year survival probability in MBC.

Differentiation Score and Intrinsic Subtype Predict Breast Cancer Organ of Relapse

Project description:The ability to predict metastatic potential is of clinical and biological importance. Numerous metastasis/relapse predictors exist for breast cancer patients; however, what is less well established is whether predicting metastasis to specific organs sites is feasible. In this study we sought to determine: 1) the degree to which gene signatures vary across tumors and their metastases, 2) if genomic intrinsic subtypes associate with particular organs of relapse, and 3) if other genomic signatures can predict spread to specific organs. Using a gene expression microarray data set of >1000 breast tumors and metastases, we observed that >90% of 298 gene signatures were similarly expressed between matched pairs of breast tumors and metastases; those most altered were reflective of cell types including fibroblasts and immune cells. Significant associations were identified between tumor subtypes and organ of first relapse. Among these, HER2-enriched tumors were significantly associated with liver, and Basal-like and Claudin-low tumors with brain and lung. Correspondingly, previously published brain and lung metastasis signatures, along with embryonic stem cell and tumor initiating cell signatures, were also associated with Basal-like and Claudin-low subtypes. These signatures strongly correlated with low Differentiation Scores (DS) and, to a lesser extent, high proliferation. Interestingly, within Basal-like and Claudin-low tumors, low DS further predicted for brain and lung metastases. In total, intrinsic subtype and DS provide clinically useful information that identifies the distant organ sites that should be most closely monitored for signs of disease recurrence. 414 samples profiled on Agilent microarrays.

Activated Tumor-infiltrating Fibroblasts Predict Worse Prognosis in Breast Cancer Patients.

Project description:Purpose: Activated tumor-infiltrating fibroblasts were significantly associated with survival of cancer patients. However, they are heterogeneous population, and the prognostic role of these cells in human breast cancer still remains controversial. Herein, we performed the meta-analysis to better understand the role of these cells in prognosis prediction for breast cancer patients. Methods: We searched PubMed and EBSCO to identify the studies evaluating the association of intratumoral activated fibroblast density detected by immunohistochemical (IHC) method and overall survival (OS) and/or disease-free survival (DFS) in breast cancer patients, then computed extracted data into hazard ratios (HRs) for OS, DFS and clinicopathological features such as lymph node metastasis, TNM stage with STATA 12.0. Results: A total of 3680 patients with breast cancer from 15 published studies were incorporated into this meta-analysis. We found that the infiltration of activated fibroblasts significantly decreased overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients. In stratified analyses, high density of FSP-1+ or podoplanin+ fibroblasts was significantly associated with worse OS; while α-SMA+ or podoplanin+ fibroblast infiltration was associated with worse DFS in breast cancer. In addition, elevated number of activated tumor-infiltrating fibroblasts significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and poor tumor differentiation of patients. Conclusion: The infiltration of activated fibroblasts, especially the FSP-1+ or podoplanin+ fibroblasts leads to worse clinical outcome in breast cancer patients, implicating that it is a valuable prognostic biomarker and targeting it may have a potential for effective treatment.

Worse characteristics can predict survival effectively in bilateral primary breast cancer: A competing risk nomogram using the SEER database.

Project description:ObjectiveThere is limited information from population-based cancer registries regarding prognostic features of bilateral primary breast cancer (BPBC).MethodsFemale patients diagnosed with BPBC between 2004 and 2014 were randomly divided into training (n = 7740) and validation (n = 2579) cohorts from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database. We proposed five various models. Multivariate Cox hazard regression and competing risk analysis were to explore prognosis factors in training cohort. Competing risk nomograms were constructed to combine significant prognostic factors to predict the 3-year and the 5-year survival of patients with BPBC. At last, in the validation cohort, the new score performance was evaluated with respect to the area under curve, concordance index, net reclassification index and calibration curve.ResultsWe found out that age, interval time, lymph nodes invasion, tumor size, tumor grade and estrogen receptor status were independent prognostic factors in both multivariate Cox hazard regression analysis and competing risk analysis. Concordance index in the model of the worse characteristics was 0.816 (95% CI: 0.791-0.840), of the bilateral tumors was 0.819 (95% CI: 0.793-0.844), of the worse tumor was 0.807 (0.782-0.832), of the first tumor was 0.744 (0.728-0.763) and of the second tumor was 0.778 (0.762-0.794). Net reclassification index of the 3-year and the 5-year between them was 2.7% and -1.0%. The calibration curves showed high concordance between the nomogram prediction and actual observation.ConclusionThe prognosis of BPBC depended on bilateral tumors. The competing risk nomogram of the model of the worse characteristics may help clinicians predict survival simply and effectively. Metachronous bilateral breast cancer presented poorer survival than synchronous bilateral breast cancer.

Sperm Protein Antigen 17 Expression Correlates With Lymph Node Metastasis and Worse Overall Survival in Patients With Breast Cancer.

Project description:Purpose: The expression and role of sperm protein antigen 17 (SPA17), which has been confirmed to be immunogenic, in breast cancer remain unclear. We examined the expression of SPA17 in breast cancer and assessed its effect on patient prognosis and its function in breast cancer development. Methods: SPA17 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and Q-RT-PCR in 120 breast tissue samples. Correlation of SPA17 expression with the patients' clinicopathological parameters and overall survival was assessed. The function of SPA17 was also explored. Results: By reviewing Gene Expression Omnibus datasets, we found that SPA17 expression in ductal breast carcinoma in situ (log2[fold change] = 1.14, p-value = 0.004) and invasive ductal breast cancer (log2[fold change] = 1.03, p-value = 0.016) tissues was 2.20 and 2.05 times higher, respectively, than that in normal breast tissues. Our result also showed that 27% (27/100) of breast cancer samples expressed SPA17 but none of the normal breast (0/20) samples did. Lymph node metastasis (p < 0.001) and molecular subtyping (p = 0.002) were independent factors associated with SPA17 expression. Most importantly, SPA17 expression resulted in poor prognosis. In addition, cell function assay validated that SPA17 increased the migration (p < 0.001) and invasion (p = 0.007) of breast cancer cells, but not affected the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated the vital role of SPA17 in the development and metastasis of breast cancer and that SPA17 may be a new therapeutic target in improving breast cancer prognosis.

Novel MicroRNA-Based Risk Score Identified by Integrated Analyses to Predict Metastasis and Poor Prognosis in Breast Cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The use of biomarkers that allow early therapeutic intervention or intensive follow-up evaluation is expected to be a powerful means for reducing breast cancer mortality. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to play major roles in cancer biology including metastasis. This study aimed to develop a novel miRNA risk score to predict patient survival and metastasis in breast cancer. METHODS:An integrated unbiased approach was applied to derive a composite risk score for prognosis based on miRNA expression in primary breast tumors in 1051 breast cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Further analysis of the risk score with metastasis/recurrence was performed using the TCGA data set and validated in a separate patient population using small RNA sequencing. RESULTS:The three-miRNAs risk score (miR-19a, miR-93, and miR-106a) was developed using the TCGA cohort, which predicted poor prognosis (p?=?0.0005) independently of known clinical risk factors. The prognostic value was validated in another three following independent cohorts: GSE19536 (p?=?0.0009), GSE22220 (p?=?0.0003), and the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) (p?=?0.0023). The three-miRNAs risk score predicted bone recurrence in TCGA (p?=?0.0052), and the findings were validated in another independent population of patients who experienced bone recurrence and age/stage-matched patients without any recurrence. The three-miRNAs risk score enriched multiple metastasis-related gene sets such as angiogenesis and epithelial mesenchymal transition in a gene-set-enrichment analysis. CONCLUSIONS:The authors developed the novel miRNA-based risk score, which is a promising biomarker for prediction of worse survival and bone recurrence potential in breast cancer.

A novel panel of differentially-expressed microRNAs in breast cancer brain metastasis may predict patient survival.

Project description:Breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM) is an area of unmet clinical need. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been linked to the metastatic process in breast cancer (BC). In this study, we aim to determine differentially-expressed miRNAs utilising primary BCs that did not relapse (BCNR, n = 12), primaries that relapsed (BCR) and their paired (n = 40 pairs) brain metastases (BM) using the NanoString™ nCounter™ miRNA Expression Assays. Significance analysis of microarrays identified 58 and 11 differentially-expressed miRNAs between BCNR vs BCR and BCR vs BM respectively and pathway analysis revealed enrichment for genes involved in invasion and metastasis. Four miRNAs, miR-132-3p, miR-199a-5p, miR-150-5p and miR-155-5p, were differentially-expressed within both cohorts (BCNR-BCR, BCR-BM) and receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis (p = 0.00137) and Kaplan-Meier survival method (p = 0.0029, brain metastasis-free survival; p = 0.0007, overall survival) demonstrated their potential use as prognostic markers. Ingenuity pathway enrichment linked them to the MET oncogene, and the cMET protein was overexpressed in the BCR (p < 0.0001) and BM (p = 0.0008) cases, compared to the BCNRs. The 4-miRNAs panel identified in this study could be potentially used to distinguish BC patients with an increased risk of developing BCBM and provide potential novel therapeutic targets, whereas cMET-targeting warrants further investigation in the treatment of BCBM.

Development and validation of a novel prognostic score to predict survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer: the metastatic colorectal cancer score (mCCS).

Project description:AIM:Published prognostic scores for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are based on data from highly selected patient subgroups with specified first-line treatments and may not be applicable to routine practice. We have therefore developed and validated the metastatic colorectal cancer score (mCCS) to predict overall survival (OS) for patients with mCRC. METHOD:A total of 1704 patients from the prospective, multicentre cohort study Tumour Registry Colorectal Cancer were separated into learning (n = 796) and validation (n = 908) samples. Using a multivariate Cox regression model, the six-factor mCCS was established. RESULTS:The six independent prognostic factors for survival are as follows: two or more metastatic sites at the start of first-line treatment, tumour grading ? G3 at primary diagnosis, residual tumour classification ? R1/unknown, lymph node ratio (of primary tumour) ? 0.4, tumour stage ? III/unknown at primary diagnosis and KRAS status mutated/unknown. The mCCS clearly separated the learning sample into three risk groups: zero to two factors (low risk), three factors (intermediate risk) and four to six factors (high risk). The prognostic performance of the mCCS was confirmed in the validation sample and additionally stratified a large sample of patients with known (K)RAS mutation status. CONCLUSION:The novel prognostic score, mCCS, clearly defines three prognostic groups for OS at start of first-line therapy. For oncologists, the mCCS represents a simple and easy-to-apply tool for routine clinical use, as it is based on objective tumour characteristics and can assist with treatment decision-making and communication of the prognosis to patients.
