Molecular analysis of gastric cancer identifies genomic markers of drug sensitivity in Asian gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of lethal malignancies worldwide, especially in Eastern Asia. Clinical responses to antitumor therapies are often limited to a subset of patients. Methods: To uncover new biomarkers of sensitivity and resistance to cancer therapeutics, we performed ultra-deep targeted sequencing in a cohort with 72 patients (41 with chemotherapy sensitivity and 31 with chemotherapy resistance). Results: We found that sixteen mutated cancer genes were associated with widely used agent in chemotherapy of gastric cancer. Genes identified in these study are mainly involved in activation and inactivation of cancer chemotherapeutic agents, changes of apoptosis and proliferation, drug efflux, DNA damage repair, and the tumor microenvironment. Discussion: A novel group of chemo-sensitivity related genes provided new therapeutic strategies to overcome the development and evolution of resistance to cancer chemotherapy.
