The effect of intermittent versus continuous low dose aspirin on nasal epithelium gene expression in current smokers: a randomized, double-blinded clinical study

ABSTRACT: A chemopreventive effect of aspirin (ASA) on lung cancer risk is supported by epidemiologic and preclinical studies. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study in current heavy smokers to compare modulating effects of intermittent versus continuous low dose ASA on gene signatures of smoking and lung cancer from nasal brushings. Fifty-four participants were randomized to intermittent ASA (ASA 81 mg daily for one week alternating with placebo daily for one week) or continuous ASA (81 mg daily) for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was modulation of a smoking gene signature in nasal brushings. Other [JB1] endpoints included modulation of nasal and bronchial gene signatures for smoking, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and changes in cyclooxygenase (COX)- and 5-lipoxygenase (LOX)-mediated arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolism. Low dose ASA intervention caused minimal changes in smoking and lung cancer gene signature scores in nasal epithelium of current heavy smokers. The small sample size of the intervention groups may have limited the ability to detect modulation of the gene signatures. Low dose ASA lowered urinary prostaglandin E metabolite, a marker of COX-mediated ARA metabolic pathway with no change in urinary leukotriene E4, a marker of 5-LOX-mediated pathway. Exploratory genomic analysis showed that ASA intervention induced wide-ranging genomic changes in the nasal epithelium, including modulation of the arachidonic acid pathway and wound healing. A companion study is underway using ASA plus zileuton to test dual suppression of COX- and 5-LOX-mediated pathways on these gene signature scores in current heavy smokers.

Project description:Background: The most important risk factors for head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) are tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption, while subgroups are caused by infection with human papillomaviruses (HPV) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Here, we studied alterations of somatic copy-number in whole genome, p16 protein and TP53 mutations by alcohol drinking, smoking and viral infections. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study. DNA obtained from tumors and margin samples as well as peripheral blood was assayed by array comparative genomic hybridization using Agilent Whole Human Genome 180K. Mutations of p53 gene by direct sequencing, detection of HPV by polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR), quantification of EBV by reverse transcription-PCR and p16 immunohistochemical (IHC) staining were also performed. prospective cohort study: 225 tumor samples were analyzed by Agilent-022060 SurePrint G3 Human CGH miroarray 4x180K. Log2 Ratio (tumor sample DNA/normal DNA) were compared among none alcohol drinkers, moderate alcohol drinkers, heavy alcohol drinkers, none smokers, moderate smokers, heavy smokers and both. Sample characteristics weres scored as following; Human Papilloma Virus Infection (gene detected by PCR in tumor sample): positive=1; negative=0 p16 protein immunohistochemistry: positive=1; negative=0 tumor grade: matured=0; moderate=1; immature=2 Radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy after operation: performed =1; not performed =0 Recurrence/relapse: rec =1; not rec =0 suvival status:death=1; survive=0 smoking status (Pack year of smoking): none smoker=0; pack-year <20 = 1 (moderate smoker); pack-year <=20 = 2 (heavy smoker) alcohol drinking: Alcohol drinkers were divided into non-drinker or less than one drink per day =0: one and more but less than two drinks per day = moderate drinker 1: two and more drinks per day=heavy drinker 2: during the 20 years preceding their treatment for HNSCC. One drink was defined as containing approximately 10g of alcohol, which is considered equal to 30 ml of hard liquor, 100 ml of wine containing 12% alcohol, or 360 ml of beer.
