Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Molecularly targeted therapeutics and immunotherapy revolutionized the clinical care of NSCLC patients. However, not all NSCLC patients harbor molecular targets (e.g., mutated EGFR), and only a subset benefits from immunotherapy. Moreover, we are lacking reliable biomarkers for immunotherapy, although PD-L1 expression has been mainly used for guiding front-line therapeutic options. Alterations of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler occur commonly in patients with NSCLC. This subset of NSCLC tumors tends to be undifferentiated and presents high heterogeneity in histology, and it shows a dismal prognosis because of poor response to the current standard therapies. Catalytic subunits SMARCA4/A2 and DNA binding subunits ARID1A/ARID1B/ARID2 as well as PBRM1 were identified to be the most commonly mutated subunits of SWI/SNF complexes in NSCLC. Mechanistically, alteration of these SWI/SNF subunits contributes to the tumorigenesis of NSCLC through compromising the function of critical tumor suppressor genes, enhancing oncogenic activity as well as impaired DNA repair capacity related to genomic instability. Several vulnerabilities of NSCLCS with altered SWI/SNF subunits were detected and evaluated clinically using EZH2 inhibitors, PROTACs of mutual synthetic lethal paralogs of the SWI/SNF subunits as well as PARP inhibitors. The response of NSCLC tumors with an alteration of SWI/SNF to ICIs might be confounded by the coexistence of mutations in genes capable of influencing patients' response to ICIs. High heterogenicity in the tumor with SWI/SNF deficiency might also be responsible for the seemingly conflicting results of ICI treatment of NSCLC patients with alterations of SWI/SNF. In addition, an alteration of each different SWI/SNF subunit might have a unique impact on the response of NSCLC with deficient SWI/SNF subunits. Prospective studies are required to evaluate how the alterations of the SWI/SNF in the subset of NSCLC patients impact the response to ICI treatment. Finally, it is worthwhile to point out that combining inhibitors of other chromatin modulators with ICIs has been proven to be effective for the treatment of NSCLC with deficient SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers.
