Classification of carcinoma in situ lesions in human bladder cancer

ABSTRACT: The presence of carcinoma in situ (CIS) lesions in the urinary bladder is associated with a high risk of disease progression to a muscle invasive stage. In this study, we used microarray expression profiling to examine the gene expression patterns in superficial transitional cell carcinoma (sTCC) with surrounding CIS (13 patients), without surrounding CIS lesions (15 patients), and in muscle invasive carcinomas (mTCC; 13 patients). Hierarchical cluster analysis separated the sTCC samples according to the presence or absence of CIS in the surrounding urothelium. We identified a few gene clusters that contained genes with similar expression levels in transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with surrounding CIS and invasive TCC. However, no close relationship between TCC with adjacent CIS and invasive TCC was observed using hierarchical cluster analysis. Expression profiling of a series of biopsies from normal urothelium and urothelium with CIS lesions from the same urinary bladder revealed that the gene expression found in sTCC with surrounding CIS is found also in CIS biopsies as well as in histologically normal samples adjacent to the CIS lesions. Furthermore, we also identified similar gene expression changes in mTCC samples. We used a supervised learning approach to build a 16-gene molecular CIS classifier. The classifier was able to classify sTCC samples according to the presence or absence of surrounding CIS with a high accuracy. This study demonstrates that a CIS gene expression signature is present not only in CIS biopsies but also in sTCC, mTCC, and, remarkably, in histologically normal urothelium from bladders with CIS. Identification of this expression signature could provide guidance for the selection of therapy and follow-up regimen in patients with early stage bladder cancer.

Project description:This study aimed to identify the genetic signatures associated with disease prognosis in bladder cancer. We used 165 primary bladder cancer samples, 23 recurrent non-muscle invasive tumor tissues, 58 normal looking bladder mucosae surrounding cancer and 10 normal bladder mucosae for microarray analysis. Hierarchical clustering was used to stratify the prognosis-related gene classifiers. For validation, real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of top-ranked 14 genes was performed. On unsupervised hierarchical clustering using prognosis related gene-classifier, tumors were divided into 2 groups. The high risk gene signatures had significantly poor prognosis compared to low risk gene signatures (P<0.001 by the log-rank test, respectively). The prognosis-related gene classifiers correlated significantly with recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (hazard ratio, 4.09; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.94 to 8.64; P<0.001), and progression (hazard ratio, 23.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.91 to 114.30; P<0.001), cancer-specific survival (hazard ratio, 29.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.47 to 246.98; P=0.002) and overall survival (hazard ratio, 23.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.97 to 109.50; P<0.001) of muscle invasive bladder cancer (p < 0.001, respectively). No patient with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer experienced cancer progression in low risk gene signature group. Prognosis-related gene classifiers validated by RT- PCR showed identical results. Prognosis related gene-classifiers provided strong predictive value for disease outcome. These gene classifiers could assist in selecting patients who might benefit from more aggressive therapeutic intervention or surveillance. Keywords: Gene expression, Bladder cancer, Prognosis 165 primary bladder cancer samples and 23 recurrent non-muscle invasive tumor tissues from 14 patients were taken in the Chungbuk National University Hospital. Only histologically verified transitional cell carcinoma samples were selected. Simultaneously 58 normal looking bladder mucosae surrounding cancer were obtained during the operation, which were histologically confirmed normal. Also, 10 normal bladder mucosae were obtained from patients with benign disease. The normal controls were determined to be free of cancer after revealing no malignant cells on urine cytology and no observable bladder cancer on cystoscopic examination during operation for their diseases, and were histologically reconfirmed normal.
