Associations of IFT20 and GM130 protein expressions with clinicopathological features and survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer is the leading cause of malignancy-related mortality and lung adenocarcinoma accounts for about 40% of lung malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of intraflagellar transport protein 20 (IFT20) and Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130) expression with clinicopathological features and survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Methods

The expressions of IFT20 and GM130 protein in cancerous and matched adjacent lung tissues of 235 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were assessed by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry, which were indicated by the mean optical density (IOD/area), the rate of positive staining cells and staining intensity score. The correlation between IFT20 and GM130 protein was assessed by Spearman's rank correlation. Associations of IFT20 and GM130 protein expression with clinicopathological features of patients were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression models. The survival analysis of patients was performed by Cox proportional hazard regression models.

Results

With adjustment for multiple potential confounders, each one-point increase in IFT20 protein staining intensity score was significantly associated with 32% and 29% reduced risk for TNM stage in II ~ IV and lymphatic metastasis of patients, respectively (P < 0.05). And each one-point increase in GM130 protein staining intensity score was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of poor differentiation and tumors size > 7 cm by 29% and 38% for lung adenocarcinoma patients, respectively (P < 0.05). In stratified Cox model analysis, enhanced IFT20 staining intensity score was significantly decreased the risk of death by 16% for patients without distant metastasis. And elevated the IOD/area of GM130 expression significantly decreased the death risk of lung adenocarcinoma patients with tumor size > 7 cm or distant metastasis by 54% and 65%, respectively (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

IFT20 and GM130 protein expressions were negatively associated with tumor differentiated types, size, TNM stage and lymphatic metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma. Both IFT20 and GM130 proteins have some protective effects on the survival of lung adenocarcinoma patients with specific clinicopathological features.

Project description:Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate predictive models using clinical parameters, radiomic features, and a combination of both for invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) of the lung in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Method: A total of 173 and 391 patients with IMA and non-IMA, respectively, were retrospectively analyzed from January 2017 to September 2022 in our hospital. Propensity Score Matching was used to match the 2 groups of patients. A total of 1037 radiomic features were extracted from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). The patients were randomly divided into training and test groups at a ratio of 7:3. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm was used for radiomic feature selection. Three radiomics prediction models were applied: logistic regression (logistic), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree. The best-performing model was adopted, and the radiomics score (Radscore) was then computed. A clinical model was developed using logistic regression. Finally, a combined model was established based on a clinical model and a radiomics model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the predictive value of the developed models. Results: Both clinical and radiomics models established using the logistic method showed the best performance. The Delong test revealed that the combined model was superior to the clinical and radiomics models (P = .018 and .020, respectively). The ROC-AUC (also decision curve analysis) of the combined model was 0.840 and 0.850 in the training and testing groups, respectively, which showed good predictive performance for IMA. The Brier scores for the combined model were 0.161 and 0.154 in the training and testing groups, respectively. Conclusion: The combined model incorporating radiomic CT features and clinical predictors may have the potential to predict IMA in patients with lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundMorule-like component (MLC) was a rare structure in primary lung adenocarcinoma. We aimed to reveal the clinicopathological, radiological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of lung adenocarcinoma with MLCs.MethodsTwenty lung adenocarcinomas with MLCs were collected, and computed tomographic and histological documents were reviewed. Immunohistochemistry, targeted next-generation sequencing, and Sanger sequencing for β-catenin gene were performed.ResultsThere were 9 lepidic adenocarcinomas, 8 acinar adenocarcinomas, 2 papillary adenocarcinomas, and 1 minimally invasive adenocarcinoma. Most patients (16/17) were shown a pure solid nodule, and 1 patient was shown a partly solid nodule on chest computed tomography (CT). Nine cases were accompanied with micropapillary components, and 3 were with cribriform components in which 2 suffered a worse prognosis. No significant association was found between the MCLs and the overall survival of lung adenocarcinoma (P = 0.109). The MLCs were often arranged in whorled or streaming patterns. The cells in MLCs showed syncytial and mild appearance. The MLCs were positive for E-cadherin, CK7, TTF-1, napsin-A, vimentin, and β-catenin (membrane), and negative for CK5/6, p40, p63, Synaptophysin, chromogranin A, and Cdx-2. EGFR mutation, ALK-EML4 fusion, HER2 amplification, and PIK3CA mutation were detected in 16 cases, 2 cases, 1 case, and 1 case, respectively. EGFR mutation was more frequent in adenocarcinomas with MLCs than those without MLCs (P = 0.040). β-catenin gene mutation was not detected in any patients.ConclusionsMLC is often observed in the background of acinar, lepidic, and papillary adenocarcinomas. Lung adenocarcinomas with MLCs tend to appear as a solid mass on CT and harbor EGFR gene mutations. The micropapillary components and cribriform components may cause poor prognosis of lung adenocarcinomas with MLCs. Vimentin is always positive in MLCs, and it is a useful marker for the identification of MLCs.
