ESR1 PvuII polymorphism: from risk factor to prognostic and predictive factor of the success of primary systemic therapy in advanced breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ESR1 gene encodes Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα), which plays a role in the tumourigenesis of breast cancer. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in intron 1 of this gene called ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693) has been reported to increase the risk of breast cancer. This study aimed to investigate the ESR1 PvuII polymorphism as a prognostic and predictive factor guiding the choice of therapy for advanced breast cancer.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted in 104 advanced breast cancer patients at Dharmais Cancer Hospital from 2011 to 2018. The ESR1 PvuII polymorphism was analysed by Sanger sequencing of DNA from primary breast tumour samples.

Results

The percentages of patients with ESR1 PvuII genotypes TT, TC, and CC were 42.3, 39.4, and 18.3%, respectively. Looking at prognosis, patients with ESR1 PvuII TC + CC had shorter overall survival than those with the TT genotype [HR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.05-3.04; p = 0.032]. As a predictive marker, TC + CC was associated with shorter survival (p = 0.041), but TC + CC patients on primary hormonal therapy had a median overall survival longer than TC + CC patients on primary chemotherapy (1072 vs 599 days).

Conclusion

The ESR1 PvuII TC + CC genotypes confer poor prognosis in advanced breast cancer, but these genotypes could be regarded as a good predictor of the therapeutic effect of hormonal treatment.

Prognostic significance of ESR1 amplification and ESR1 PvuII, CYP2C19*2, UGT2B15*2 polymorphisms in breast cancer patients.

Project description:IntroductionAmplification of the ESR1 gene, coding for estrogen receptor alpha, was shown to predict responsiveness to tamoxifen, however its prognostic impact in breast cancer patients has not been thoroughly investigated. Other factors that could contribute to responsiveness to tamoxifen treatment are polymorphisms in ESR1 gene and genes involved in tamoxifen metabolism. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic role of ESR1 gene dosage in a consecutive group of breast cancer patients and to correlate this feature with clinico-pathological factors. Additionally, ESR1 PvuII, CYP2C19*2 and UGT2B15*2 polymorphisms were analyzed in the tamoxifen-treated subgroup of patients.Materials and methodsPrimary tumor samples from 281 stage I-III consecutive breast cancer patients were analyzed for ESR1 gene dosage using real-time PCR with locked nucleic acids hydrolysis probes. In the tamoxifen-treated subgroup of patients, ESR1 PvuII, CYP2C19*2 and UGT2B15*2 polymorphism in leukocytes genomic DNA were analyzed. Results were correlated with clinico-pathological factors and with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).ResultsESR1 amplification (with a cut-off level of 2.0) was found in 12% of the entire group of breast cancer patients, and in 18% of the ER-negative subgroup. This feature was associated with decreased DFS both in the entire group (P=0.007) and in the ER-negative subgroup (P=0.03), but not in the tamoxifen-treated patients. Patients with ESR1 PvuII wt/wt genotype and at least one UGT2B15 wt allele had a worse DFS (P=0.03) and showed a trend towards decreased Os (P=0.08) in comparison to patients with ESR1 PvuII wt/vt or vt/vt genotype and UGT2B15 *2/*2 genotype.ConclusionsESR1 amplification can occur in ER-negative tumors and may carry poor prognosis. In the tamoxifen-treated subgroup, poor prognosis was related to the combined presence of ESR1 PvuII wt/wt and UGT2B15wt/wt or wt/*2 genotype.

ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693 T>C) polymorphism and cancer susceptibility: Evidence from 80 studies.

Project description:Emerging epidemiological researches have been performed to assess the association of ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693 T>C) polymorphism with the risk of cancer, yet with conflicting conclusions. Therefore, this updated meta-analysis was performed to make a more accurate evaluation of such relationship. We adopted EMBASE, PubMed, CNKI, and WANFANG database to search relevant literature before January 2018. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were employed to estimate the relationship strengths. In final, 80 studies (69 publications) involving 26428 cases and 43381 controls were enrolled. Our results failed to provide significant association between overall cancer risk and PvuII polymorphism under homozygous (TT vs. CC) and heterozygous (TT vs. CT) models. Statistically significant relationship was only observed for PvuII polymorphism in allele model T vs. C (OR=0.95, 95% CI=0.91-0.99). Stratification analysis by cancer type suggested that T genotype significantly decreased prostate cancer risk (TT vs. CC: OR=0.79, 95% CI=0.66-0.94; T vs. C: OR=0.89, 95% CI=0.82-0.98), Leiomyoma risk (T vs. C: OR=0.82, 95% CI=0.68-0.98), and HCC risk (TT vs. CC: OR=0.45, 95% CI=0.28-0.71; T vs. C: OR=0.67, 95% CI=0.47-0.95). Furthermore, significantly decreased risk was also found for Africans, population-based and hospital-based studies in the stratified analyses. These results suggest that ESR1 PvuII (rs2234693 T>C) polymorphism may only have little impact on cancer susceptibility. In the future, large-scale epidemical studies are warranted to verify these results.

Risk of premature ovarian failure is associated to the PvuII polymorphism at estrogen receptor gene ESR1.

Project description:PurposeEstrogen plays an important role in the human reproductive system and it action is mediated mainly by two specific receptors: α (ERα) and β (ERβ). There were described polymorphic variants in ESR1 and ESR2 genes and studies showed controversial results regarding their association with premature ovarian failure. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ESR1 and ESR2 polymorphisms in Brazilian patients and controls. After associate the polymorphisms with premature ovarian failure (POF).MethodsGenetic association study was performed with 70 women with POF and 73 normally menopaused controls. Detection of ESR1 (PvuII/and XbaI) and ESR2 (AluI and RsaI) gene polymorphisms were performed using TaqMan PCR. The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) and haplotype effects were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression and haplotype analysis and a p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsIndividual SNP analysis revealed that PvuII polymorphism was statistically associated with POF (p = 0.034) under a recessive model. Regarding XbaI, AluI and RsaI SNPs, no statistical difference was observed between POF group and controls (p = 0.575, p = 0.258 and p = 0.483, respectively). Combined genotypes of ESR1 and ESR2 polymorphisms did not identify a risk haplotype associated with POF.ConclusionIn Brazilian population evaluated results have demonstrated that the genetic variation in ESR1 gene (PvuII polymorphism) is associated to POF risk.

The variant T allele of PvuII in ESR1 gene is a prognostic marker in early breast cancer survival.

Project description:The PvuII (rs2234693) Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the gene coding for the estrogen receptor-1 (ESR1), has been found associated with outcome in tamoxifen treated patients with early hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. However, it remains unclear whether this SNP is a predictive marker for tamoxifen efficacy or a prognostic marker for breast cancer outcome. The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic potential of this SNP in postmenopausal early breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant exemestane. Dutch postmenopausal patients randomised to 5 years of adjuvant exemestane of whom tissue was available (N?=?807) were selected from the Tamoxifen Exemestane Adjuvant Multinational (TEAM) trial database. The SNP rs2234693 in the ESR1 gene was genotyped on DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue using Taqman assays and related to the primary endpoint disease-free survival (DFS) and secondary endpoint overall survival (OS). Survival analyses were performed using Cox regression analysis. In total 805 patients were included in the analyses (median follow up of 5.22 years) and genotypes were obtained in 97% of the samples. The variant T allele of PvuII in ESR1 (rs2234693) was associated with a better DFS (hazard ratio (HR) 0.689, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.480-0.989, P?=?0.044) in univariate analysis only, and a better OS in both univariate (HR 0.616, 95%, CI 0.411-0.923, P?=?0.019) and multivariate analyses (HR 0.571, 95% CI 0.380-0.856, P?=?0.007), consistent with a prognostic rather than a predictive drug response effect. Variation of PvuII in the ESR1 gene is related to OS in postmenopausal, early HR?+?breast cancer patients treated with exemestane in the TEAM study. Variation in the ESR1 gene may therefore be a prognostic marker of early breast cancer survival, and warrants further research.

Estrogen Receptor Gene (ESR1) PVUII and XBAI Polymorphisms and Bone Mineral Density in Kazakh Women.

Project description:Introduction:Osteoporosis is a common age-related disease that is strongly influenced by genetics. Polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor gene alpha (ESR1) are consistently been associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture.The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate potential association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants of the ESR1 gene and bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine in Kazakh women. Methods:140 female participants in Pavlodar clinics with varying measures of BMD. We are examined the potential association of BMD with 2 SNPs from the ESR1 gene (rs2234693 [PvuII] and rs9340799 [XbaI]). Genotyping of the PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms was performed by direct sequencing of the gene fragments containing restriction sites with the identification of genotypes PP, Pp, pp and XX, Xx, xx respectively. Results:Unadjusted mean BMD values ranged from 1.14±0.14 g/cm2 in Caucasian women and 1.03±0.11 g/cm2 in Asian women. The association between PvuII polymorphism and BMD at the lumbar spine (p= 0.04 for PP=Pp=pp) was statistically significant in all women. The XbaI polymorphism was not associated with BMD at lumbar spine. The relative risk for low BMD was higher for the marker PvuII (RR=1.51) than for the marker XbaI (RR=1.35). Conclusion:The PvuII polymorphism had a weak association with lumbar spine BMD. XbaI polymorphism was unlikely to be a predictor of lumbar spine BMD in Kazakh women. These conclusions could help to determine the genetic risk factors for osteoporosis; however, further studies on the association between gene polymorphisms and BMD are needed including larger numbers of participants and genes to clarify genetic risks.

Improved 5-Factor Prognostic Classification of Patients Receiving Salvage Systemic Therapy for Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma.

Project description:Prognostic factors in patients receiving salvage systemic therapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma include performance status, liver metastasis, hemoglobin and time since chemotherapy. We investigated the impact of albumin, and neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts.Patient level data from 10 phase II trials were used. Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to evaluate associations with overall survival. An optimal regression model was constructed using forward stepwise selection and risk groups were defined using the number of adverse factors. Trial was a stratification factor. External validation was done in a separate data set of 5 salvage phase II trials.Discovery data were obtained on 708 patients. After adjustment for the 4 known factors a platelet count of the upper limit of normal or greater and albumin less than the lower limit of normal were significant poor prognostic factors. Only the addition of albumin was externally validated. For 0 or 1, 2 and 3 or greater risk factors median overall survival was 8.9, 6.4 and 4.5 months in 207, 171 and 113 patients in the discovery data set of 491, and 10.6, 10.0 and 7.0 months in 73, 47 and 47 patients, respectively, in the validation data set of 167. By adding albumin the c-index improved from 0.610 to 0.639 in the discovery set and from 0.616 to 0.646 in the validation set.Albumin was externally validated as a prognostic factor for overall survival after accounting for time from prior chemotherapy, hemoglobin, performance status and liver metastasis status in patients receiving salvage systemic therapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma. The discovery of molecular prognostic factors is a priority to further enhance this new preferred 5-factor clinical prognostic model.

Circulating tumour cells as a predictive factor for response to systemic chemotherapy in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Project description:Circulating tumour cells (CTC) can be traced in patients with different types of cancer. The aim of this study was to detect CTC in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and whether CTC are still detectable after systemic chemotherapy. Blood from 34 patients with advanced colorectal cancer was analysed for the presence of CTC before chemotherapy was given and after 3 months. Eleven patients demonstrated a tumour remission after chemotherapy. In 6 cases CTC were detectable before but not after initiation of chemotherapy. Ten patients demonstrated a progression. In 5 cases CTC were detected before and after chemotherapy. Our data suggest that the detection of CTC will help to identify patients responding to chemotherapy or with a risk of a therapy failure.

Predictive and prognostic value of prognostic nutritional index for locally advanced breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an indicator of nutritional immune status. Recently, the PNI has been found to be significantly associated with the clinical outcome of various solid tumors. Few patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer are in a state of malnutrition. In contrast, breast cancer is usually an overnutrition-related disease. This study aimed to explore the relationship of an excessively high PNI with sensitivity to neoadjuvant therapy and the prognosis of patients with locally advanced breast cancer.MethodsA total of 202 patients from two clinical trials, SHPD002 and SHPD003, were included. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between the PNI and pathological complete response (pCR). Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to assess the prognostic factors used to predict disease-free survival (DFS).ResultsAn excessively high PNI was more difficult to achieve pCR (OR =0.322; 95% CI, 0.132-0.788, P=0.013) and was associated with a worse DFS (log-rank P=0.013). The PNI was an independent prognostic factor for DFS in all patients (HR =3.027; 95% CI, 1.207-7.592, P=0.018), the premenopausal (HR =8.292; 95% CI, 1.670-41.17, P=0.010), clinical T3 and T4 (HR =3.405; 95% CI, 1.141-10.16, P=0.028), ER negative (HR =9.698; 95% CI, 1.205-78.07, P=0.033), HER2 negative (HR =3.765; 95% CI, 1.101-12.88, P=0.035) and pCR subgroups (HR =11.912; 95% CI, 1.326-107.0, P=0.027).ConclusionsAn excessively high PNI was a risk factor for sensitivity to neoadjuvant therapy and prognosis of patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

Kinetics, prognostic and predictive values of ESR1 circulating mutations in metastatic breast cancer patients progressing on aromatase inhibitor.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the prognostic and predictive value of circulating ESR1 mutation and its kinetics before and after progression on aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment.Patients and methodsESR1 circulating D538G and Y537S/N/C mutations were retrospectively analyzed by digital droplet PCR after first-line AI failure in patients treated consecutively from 2010 to 2012 for hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed according to circulating mutational status and subsequent lines of treatment. The kinetics of ESR1 mutation before (3 and 6 months) and after (3 months) AI progression were determined in the available archive plasmas.ResultsCirculating ESR1 mutations were found at AI progression in 44/144 patients included (30.6%). Median follow-up from AI initiation was 40 months (range 4-94). The median OS was decreased in patients with circulating ESR1 mutation than in patients without mutation (15.5 versus 23.8 months, P=0.0006). The median PFS was also significantly decreased in patients with ESR1 mutation than in patients without mutation (5.9 vs 7 months, P=0.002). After AI failure, there was no difference in outcome for patients receiving chemotherapy (n = 58) versus non-AI endocrine therapy (n=51) in patients with and without ESR1 mutation. ESR1 circulating mutations were detectable in 75% of all cases before AI progression, whereas the kinetics 3 months after progression did not correlate with outcome.ConclusionESR1 circulating mutations are independent risk factors for poor outcome after AI failure, and are frequently detectable before clinical progression. Interventional studies based on ESR1 circulating status are warranted.
