Identification and validation of single sample breast cancer radiosensitivity gene expression predictors [Illumina HT12 v4 data]

ABSTRACT: Purpose To develop a radiosensitivity gene expression assay to predict the response to adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) after breast conserving surgery (BCS) in breast cancer. Patients and methods Fresh frozen primary tumors from 336 patients operated with BCS with or without RT were collected. Patients were split in a discovery cohort (N=172) and a validation cohort (N=164). Genes predicting ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) in an Illumina HT12 v4 whole transcriptome analysis were combined with genes from the literature (248 genes in total) to develop a targeted radiosensitivity assay on the Nanostring nCounter platform. Single sample predictors (SSPs) for IBTR based on a k-top scoring pairs algorithm were trained stratified for estrogen receptor (ER) status and RT. Two previously published profiles (radiosensitivity index, RSI, and radiosensitivity score, RSS) were also tested in our data Results The SSPs were prognostic for IBTR in ER+RT- patients (AUC 0.67, p=0.005), ER+RT- patients (AUC=0.89, p=0.015) and ER-RT+ patients (AUC=0.78, p<0.001). Among ER+ patients, radiosensitive tumors had an excellent effect of RT (p<0.001), while radioresistant tumors had no effect of RT (p=0.4) and a high risk of IBTR (55% at 10 years). Our SSPs developed in ER+ tumors and the RSS correlated with proliferation, while SSPs developed in ER- tumors correlated with immune response. RSI negatively correlated with both proliferation and immune response. Conclusions Our targeted SSPs were prognostic for IBTR and has the potential to stratify patients for RT. The biology behind models may explain the different performance in subgroups of breast cancer.

Project description:15-25% of breast cancers (BC) show ERBB2-amplification and overexpression of the encoded ERBB2 tyrosine kinase receptor. They are associated with a poor prognosis but can benefit from targeted therapy. A better knowledge of these BCs may help understand their behavior and design new therapeutic strategies. In this study, we defined the high resolution genome and gene expression profiles of 54 ERBB2-amplified BCs using 244K oligonucleotide array-comparative genomic hybridization and whole-genome DNA microarrays. We first identified the ERBB2-C17orf37-GRB7 genomic segment as the minimal common amplicon, and CRKRS and IKZF3 as the most frequent centromeric and telomeric amplicon borders, respectively. Second, we identified 17 genome regions affected by copy number aberration (CNA). The expression of 37 genes of these regions was deregulated. Third, two types of heterogeneity were observed in ERBB2-amplified BCs. The genomic profiles of estrogen receptor-postive (ER+) and negative (ER-) ERBB2-amplified BCs were different. The WNT/Ã?-catenin signaling pathway was involved in ER- ERBB2-amplified BCs, and PVT1 and TRPS1 were candidate oncogenes associated with ER+ ERBB2-amplified BCs. The size of the ERBB2-amplicon was different in inflammatory (IBC) and non inflammatory BCs. ERBB2-amplified IBCs were characterized by the downregulated and upregulated mRNA expression of ten and two genes in proportion to CNA, respectively. We have shown that ERBB2 BCs are heterogeneous and identified genomic features that may be useful in the design of therapeutical strategies Tumor tissues were collected from 340 patients with invasive adenocarcinoma who underwent initial surgery at the Institut Paoli-Calmettes (Marseilles, France) between 1987 and 2007 (from a cohort of 2,175 patients with frozen tumor sample) and from a series of 91 Tunisian T4d tumors (TNM, UICC) treated between 1994 and 1998 at the Salah Azaiz Institute (Tunis, Tunisia). Each patient gave informed consent and the study was approved by our institutional review board. Samples were macrodissected and frozen in liquid nitrogen within 30 minutes of removal. Genomic imbalances were determined by aCGH using 244K CGH oligonucleotide microarrays (Hu-244A, Agilent Technologies). Gene expression data of 51 of the 54 BCs and 4 normal breast (NB) samples (NB1, NB2, NB3 and NB4, representing samples from 4 women and 3 commercial pools of respectively 1, 2 and 4 normal breast RNA, Clontech, Palo Alto, CA) were quantified by using whole-genome DNA microarrays (HG-U133 plus 2.0, Affymetrix).

Project description:Background: We have previously shown that the Gene expression Grade Index (GGI) was able to identify two subtypes of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors that were associated with statistically distinct clinical outcomes in both untreated and tamoxifen-treated patients. Here, we aim to investigate the ability of the GGI to predict relapses in postmenopausal women who were treated with tamoxifen (T) or letrozole (L) within the BIG 1-98 trial. Methods: We generated gene expression profiles (Affymetrix) and computed the GGI for a matched, case-control sample of patients enrolled in the BIG 1-98 trial from the two hospitals where frozen samples were available. All relapses (cases) were identified from patients randomized to receive monotherapy or from the switching treatment arms for whom relapse occurred before the switch. Each case was randomly matched with four controls based upon nodal status and treatment (T or L). The prognostic value of GGI was assessed as a continuous predictor and divided at the median. Predictive accuracy of GGI was estimated using time-dependent area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curves. Results: Frozen samples were analyzable for 48 patients (10 cases and 38 controls). Seven of the 10 cases had been assigned to receive L. Cases and controls were comparable with respect to menopausal and nodal status, local and chemotherapy, and HER2 positivity. Cases were slightly older than controls and had a larger proportion of large, poorly differentiated ER+/PgR- tumors. The GGI was significantly and linearly related to risk of relapse: each 10-unit increase in GGI resulted in an increase of approximately 11% in the hazard rate (p=0.02). Within the subgroups of patients with node-positive disease or who were treated with L, the hazard of relapse was significantly greater for patients with GGI at or above the median. AUC reached a maximum of 78% at 27 months. Conclusions: This analysis supports the GGI as a good predictor of relapse for ER-positive patients, even among patients who receive L. Validation of these results, in a larger series from BIG 1-98, is planned using the simplified GGI represented by a smaller set of genes and tested by qRT-PCR on paraffin-embedded tissues. Test whether the Gene expression Grade Index (GGI) is a potential predictor of relapse for endocrine-treated breast cancer patients in the BIG 1-98 trial. 55 microarray experiments from primary breast tumors of endocrine-treated patients. No replicate, no reference sample.
