Project description:Allele-specific copy number analysis of tumors (ASCAT) assesses copy number variations (CNV) while accounting for aberrant cell fraction (ACF) and tumor ploidy. Here, we evaluate if ASCAT-assessed CNV are associated with survival outcomes in patients with WHO grade IV gliomas. Methods: We identified 56 patients with WHO grade IV gliomas. Tumor data analyzed by Affymetrix OncoScan FFPE Assay yielded the log ratio (R) and B-allele frequency (BAF). Input into ASCAT quantified CNV using the segmentation function to measure copy number inflection points throughout the genome. Actuarial overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) assessed with Kaplan-Meier method and subgroups compared by the log-rank test. Results were validated on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) glioblastoma dataset. Results: Our cohort’s median age was 60.4 years (range: 26.1-86.3). Tumors were hyper-methylated at MGMT in 25 (44.6%) with IDH1 mutations in 6 (10.7%). Median follow-up time was 36.4 months, and median PFS and OS were 8 and 14.7 months, respectively. PFS was longer for higher log R and BAF segment counts with hazard ratios (HR) of 0.32 and 0.49 respectively (p<0.001 and p=0.022). Patients with higher log R segment counts had significantly longer 12-month OS (81% vs 46.3%, p=0.0088). In the TCGA validation cohort, higher BAF segment counts had longer 12-month OS with a trend for log R (62.3% vs. 51.9%, p=0.0129 and 63.6% vs. 55.2%, p=0.0696 respectively). Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrated a longer PFS and OS for patients with increased genomic CNV. This may provide a novel method for assessing glioblastoma outcomes.

Project description:Purpose/Objective(s): To correlate gene expression and overall survival (OS) in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have undergone definitive surgery Materials/Methods: Patients were identified that were treated with definitive surgery without neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The Beaumont BioBank consented patients then collected and stored tissue samples. Patients were grouped into short term (<10 months, n=13) and long term (>20 months, n=11) survivors. RNA was extracted from fresh frozen tissues, and global gene expression patterns in the short and longer-term survivors were compared. Pathway analysis of the significant genes was also performed. Results: The median age at the time of surgery was 64 years. The mean overall survival in each group was 7.5 months and 32.0 months. We identified 163 genes that were differentially expressed between patients who survived <10 months and >20 months from their definitive surgery. Many of the genes identified have known prognostic importance in oncology; however, less than half of these genes have been reported to be associated with survival in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Pathway analysis identified expression targets of SP1, JUN, and EGF to be highly regulated based upon differences in overall survival. Conclusions: In pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients who have undergone definitive resection, we have identified multiple genes associated with inferior survival. Many of the genes reported in this study have not previously been linked to overall survival in this patient population.

Project description:To address the role of immune dysregulation in AML, we conducted a phase II study of high-dose cytarabine followed by pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on day 14 to examine whether programmed death-1 inhibition improves clinical responses in relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML. Overall responders could receive pembrolizumab maintenance up to two years. Among thirty-seven patients enrolled, the overall response rate, composite complete remission rate (CRc; primary endpoint), and median overall survival (OS) were 46%, 38% and 11.1 months, respectively. Patients with refractory/early relapse and those receiving treatment as first salvage had encouraging outcomes (median OS 13.2 and 11.3 months, respectively). Grade >3 immune-related adverse events were rare (14%) and self-limiting. Patients who achieved CRc had a higher frequency of progenitor exhausted CD8+ T-cells in the bone marrow prior to treatment and a non-significant increase in baseline T-cell diversity.

Project description:Most treatment failures of glioblastoma (GBM) occur within high-dose radiation fields, in part due to increased capacity for DNA damage repair. We retrospectively quantified the expression levels of key repair genes GBM tissue samples and correlated those expression levels with overall survival (OS). Differential expression analysis identified 7 repair genes that were significantly upregulated in GBM tissues relative to the controls (> 4-fold difference and all adjusted p values < 0.001). Of these 7 genes, Cox proportional hazards models identified RAD51 as being associated with an increased risk of death (HR = 3.49; p = 0.03). Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis also demonstrated that patients with high levels of RAD51 had significantly shorter OS compared to patients with low levels (median OS of 10.6 months vs 20.1 months, log-rank p = 0.03). These findings were then validated in a larger external dataset of 162 patients using publicly available gene expression data quantified by the same NanoString technology (median OS of 13.8 months vs. 17.4 months; log-rank p = 0.006)

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) continues to be a major health problem. A ketogenic diet (KD), characterized by a very low carbohydrate and high fat composition, has gained attention for its anti-tumor potential. We evaluated the effect and mechanisms of feeding a strict KD alone or in combination with gemcitabine in the autochthonous LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL- Trp53 R172H/+; Pdx1-Cre (KPC) mouse model. For this purpose, both male and female pancreatic tumor-bearing KPC mice were allocated to a control diet (CD; %kcal: 70% carb, 14% protein, 16% fat), a KD (%kcal: 14% protein, 1% carb, 85% fat), a CD + gemcitabine (CG), or a KD + gemcitabine (KG) group. Mice fed a KD alone or in combination with gemcitabine showed significantly increased blood β-hydroxybutyrate levels compared to mice fed a CD or CG. KPC mice fed a KG had a significant increase in overall median survival compared to KPC mice fed a CD (increased overall median survival by 42%). Interestingly, when the data was disaggregated by sex, the effect of a KG was significant in female KPC mice (60% increase in median overall survival), but not in male KPC mice (28% increase in median overall survival). Mechanistically, the enhanced survival response to a KD combined with gemcitabine was multifactorial, including inhibition of ERK and AKT pathways, regulation of fatty acid metabolism and the modulation of the gut microbiota. In summary, a KD in combination with gemcitabine appears beneficial as a treatment strategy in PDAC in KPC mice, deserving further clinical evaluation.

Project description:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumor with a dismal overall survival (OS) and to date few molecular markers are available to guide patient management. This study aimed to identify a prognostic miRNA signature in MPM patients who did not undergo tumor resection. Whole miRNA profiling using a microarray platform was performed on 26 unresected MPM with distinct clinical outcome: 15 patients had aggressive disease (OS<12 months) and 11 patients indolent disease (OS>36 months). Three prognostic miRNAs (mir-99a, let-7c and miR-125b) encoded at the same cluster (21q21) were selected for further validation and tested on publicly available miRNA sequencing data (TCGA) from 72 MPM patients with survival data. A risk model was built based on these 3 miRNAs that was validated by quantitative PCR in an independent set of 30 MPM patients. High risk patients had shorter median OS (7.6 months) as compared with low-risk patients (median not reached). In the multivariate Cox model, a high risk score was an independently associated with shorter OS (HR=3.14; 95% CI, 1.18–8.34; P=0.022). Our study identified that the downregulation of the miR-99a/let-7/miR-125b miRNA cluster predicts poor outcome in unresected MPM.

Project description:Background: Ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCCs) are rare, aggressive and chemoresistant tumors. Geographical and ethnic differences in the incidence of OCCC have been reported with a higher incidence in Asiatic countries. There is a paucity of information regarding OCCC in Latin America (LA) and other countries. Methods: Here, we characterized two cohorts of 33 patients with OCCC from LA (24 from Brazil and 9 from Costa Rica) and a cohort of 27 patients from Spain. Genomic analysis was performed for 26 OCCC using the OncoScan platform. Tumors were classified according to their genomic landscapes into subgroups. Clinical parameters were related to the frequency of genomic aberrations. Results: The median overall survival (OS) was not significantly different between the cohorts. Genomic landscapes were characterized by different homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) levels. No difference in the distribution of genomic landscapes profiles was detected between patients from the different cohorts. OCCCs with MYC-amplified tumors harboring a concomitant loss of a region in chromosome 13q12-q13 that includes the BRCA2 gene had the longest OS. In contrast, patients carrying a high number (> 30) of total copy number (CN) aberrations with no concomitant alterations in MYC and BRCA2 genes presented the shortest OS. Furthermore, amplification of the ASH1L gene was also associated with a shorter OS. Initial-stage OCCCs with early progression were characterized by gains in the JNK1 and MKL1 genes. Conclusions: Our results provide new data from understudied OCCC populations and reveal new potential markers for OCCCs.

Project description:Background: Patients with glioblastoma (GBM) have a dramatically poor prognosis. The recent REGOMA trial suggested an overall survival benefit of regorafenib in recurrent GBM patients. Considering the extreme genetic heterogeneity of GBMs, we aimed to identify molecular biomarkers predictive of differential response to the drug. The study provides evidence that a signature based on the expression of five biomarkers could help identifying a subgroup of GBM patients exhibiting a striking survival advantage when treated with regorafenib. Despite the presented results must be confirmed in larger replication cohorts, the study highlights potential biomarker options to help guiding the clinical decision among regorafenib and other treatments in patients with relapsing GBM. Methods.Total RNA was extracted from tumor samples of patients enrolled in the REGOMA trial. Genome-wide transcriptome and miRNA profiles were associated with patients' Overall Survival (OS) and Progression Free Survival (PFS). Results. At first step, a set of 11 gene transcripts (HIF1A, CTSK, SLC2A1, KLHL12, CDKN1A, CA12, WDR1, CD53, CBR4, NIFK-AS1, RAB30-DT) and 10 miRNAs (miR-93-5p, miR-203a-3p, miR-17-5p, let-7c-3p, miR-101-3p, miR-3607-3p, miR-6516-3p, miR-301a-3p, miR-23b-3p, miR-222-3p) was filtered by comparing survival between regorafenib and lomustine arms. As second step, a minisignature of two gene transcripts (HIF1A, CDKN1A) and three miRNAs (miR-3607-3p, miR-301a-3p, miR-93-5p) identified a subgroup of patients showing prolonged survival after regorafenib administration (median OS range 10.6 - 20.8 months). Conclusions. The study provides evidence that a signature based on the expression of five biomarkers could help identifying a subgroup of GBM patients exhibiting a striking survival advantage when treated with regorafenib. Despite the presented results must be confirmed in larger replication cohorts, the study highlights potential biomarker options to help guiding the clinical decision among regorafenib and other treatments in patients with relapsing GBM.
